Default Mounting & Balancing on LI?

Anyone know a place I could get wheels/tires mounted and balanced on Long Island for a better price than $35/wheel? That price is Mavis tire and i think its the only place by me that does it, pretty expensive :\

I am in Lindenhurst, NY

Does that include a valve stem replacement or anything special? $35 is pretty steep, at my shop we charge $10.50 to mount if it's not our tire, and $10.50 to balance. I'd try to look around, maybe he miss quoted you thinking you were looking for something else?
