Was charged $90 to mount and b...

Was charged $90 to mount and balance 2 tires. $90 is not published rate and the tires have no weights on them - not balanced at all! Went to Midas to have two tires in my possession mounted and balanced. After they had been working on the car for almost 2 hours, Sam, a manager here, complained the tires were dry, and I probably got them online. I did get them online, but tires do not dry out in 3-6 months as he claim... view moreed. Tires that are dry will dry-rot and when a tire dry-rots, it will have visible cracks in the tread or sidewall. After 2 hours wait, I was asked to pay $90 with taxes - ($39.99 for each tire) for the mount and balance. I complained and was told by Sam that he was going to charge me more because they had a hard time. Didn`t know mounting and balancing was now an hourly job. Called three days later when they opened again to complain and got Sam on the phone. He said that is what they charge everyone, and it is not! Told him that balancing is $14.95, so they charged me $25 to mount a tire? At which he mentioned that is correct because when people have flats, they have to remove the tire and remount it, so it is $25. Correct me if I`m wrong, but someone who has a flat gets the flat fixed, the tire mounted and balanced for $25. So, why am I paying $39.99 for a tire that doesn`t need to be fixed from being a flat??? He is lying and I don`t appreciate it. On top of this, I looked today and there are no weights on the inside of the wheel. The old weights were removed, but the wheels have no new weights - in other words, the wheels have not been balanced!! What am I paying for???? I have been cheated, lied to, and paid over fair value for less than half a job! I For the record, I have a minivan that I always bring to Midas for oil changes. Had the tires rotated and balanced several months ago and when I left, there was a vibration in the steering wheel that wasn`t there before. I dismissed it because the one tire was wearing wrong. After this, it is clear that this Midas does a poor job at balancing tires. If they can`t do such a simple task as this, then how do they fix all the `major` issues? What a joke - go somewhere else!!!
