I thought the same thing. I bought a super cheap set of tires on line from Walmart for my 175K mile Passat. I had them shipped to our local store and they mounted and balanced (lifetime) for like $12 ea. The Walmart tire guy did a far better job (no wheel scrapes, used stick on weights and smooth at speed) than the guy at the local NTB did with a new set of Continentals on my wife’s Honda minivan. I specifically stated stick on weights on the van and took it back 3 times before I gave up.

BTW I used to deal with the Wurth guy at our shop and bought all our stick on wheel weights from him. That’s probably $300 worth of weights in that picture! Those things are expensive.

Many years ago, we used NTB for things. I got decent service at first, but then we moved and tried 2 or 3 different NTBs near our new home, and got horrible service at every one, dinged wheels, broken studs, screwdrivers driven through center caps, horrible alignments, etc.... I don't know if they changed or I was just in a nexus of sheiße NTBs. But I've not been back since.
