New Math

Ordered new tires for my Venture online since they were considerably cheaper and newer than I could get locally, I took my tires and rims to the dealer and they said it would be $40.00 a wheel to change the tires, plus disposal fee. I get a text when they are done, when I pick the tires up, they give me an invoice for $77.00, I don't question the deal. I then go the parts department to get front brake pads, they tell me $54.00 a piece, I did not look then up beforehand, so I just say okay, but when I go to the cashier to pay, she says $80.47 cents, I have to ask if that's right twice.  I looked up the prices afterwards and the brake pad price is about what I could have gotten online, but the tire mounting was a great deal in my opinion, so I think the dealer needs a new calculator.

It happens almost everywhere.  From groceries to large retail place, what it says on the shelf may not reflect what the cash register is going to tell them...so I am always vigilant looking out for my wallet.  I must say the tire deal is just about right, but I can easily dispose of the tire to save on the disposal fee.  As far as tires are concerned, I agree that it is much cheaper online for motorcycle tires.  Have fun working on your bike.
