My local place in Appleton, WI is like that and priced similarly (Matthews Tire). It's nice to find places like this who have professionals working in their shop as opposed to those un-trained/un-skilled in auto maintenance science/arts.
These folks knew the torque they were going to use on my X when I went in for a new tire mounting and balance with my budget priced Nankang tires from Discount Tire via ebay. :thumb up:
