Charge for mounting tire to rim
If a tire store charges $35 to mount a tire to a rim why does Good Sam Roadservice charge $130 if you already have a tire and do not purchase one at time of blowout?

And it's not GS road service charging you a $130. It's the service that comes to you that charges that amount.
So GS Road Service pays the tire changer both ways to come to wherever you are... The tire changer is charging $130 for the same service the op gets at his local store for $35... if my interpretation of this post this correct... GS should find another service provider in that area.
GS negotiates with service companies on responding to certain situations and they pay them. Things as mounting a tire (that you have) are not included in that service call. Yes GS is paying for them to come there and if you had a spare tire on the rim, then GS would pay for that. Same as with any roadside service. You can always decide not to pay for the tire mounting and call a company of your own. But I imagine to have someone respond and mount a tire, would cost a lot more than $130. At least you are getting a good portion of the entire call paid for.
