$195.00 mount & balance???

just got a new set of wheels 19" (19x8.5) and mail ordered tires (255/50/19). took the wheels & tires to a local shop and was told because of the size 19" and their special "yada yada yada" machine, it would cost $195.00 to mount & balance (not including any type of road hazard warranty).... does this sound reasonable or should i look elsewhere?

Cost me $75 to have this done. Your local shop seems to be gouging you.

Turn around and run (or drive) away as fast as you can. Check other shops.
