    Whalen Tire in Great Falls MT. Came out to put my spare on my trailer and all they did was loosen the lugs and I swapped the tire and they tightened the lugs. Then they charged me $430 for that 10 minutes of work. When I called the office to ask why so much I was told by Logan that if I didn't like it not to f****** call them again. I called the main office and talked to the owner and he said that's what they charge then the manager called and said if I bought new tires from them he would cut me a break and I would get some of my money back from the service call.

    I agree that is very excessive. It sounds like they made you bend over and squeal in more ways than one.

    go to google search and find that company on maps. You can leave a review and then everyone can see when they do a search.

    I've just had a flat repaired there, at the facility. Hope I don't need a service call.

    Why did YOU swap the tire, if they're out there to do it?
