Tire rotation charge

[FishHawk]

What does your dealer charge to rotate your tire. I got mine done and the dealer charge $50 . Seems a little high for rotating the tires. FishHawk

Toyota dealerships seem to be charging $25 for oil changes, but then $50 for "5000 mile service" ... which is an oil change and tire rotation.

That's very high, if that's all they did.

A local Goodyear dealer recently told me that all Goodyear dealers will rotate Goodyear tires for free. I haven't verified that with other dealers. Assuming you've got Goodyears, you might check that out next time.

I was out of town in Salt Lake City. I hit 5400 miles on the trip. I went to a Goodyear dealer and had the oil changed and tires rotated. They DID NOT charge for the tires.
Hope This Helps

I called my local Goodyear tire dealer, he noted that I had to have purchaced the tires from them to have them rotated for no charge.

If that is all they did it was a rip-off. Our dealer usually includes it as a package of the service they offer, but will not discount it if you don't want it done. I prefer to go to Discount Tire/America's Tire where they will rotate and/or check your air pressure without charge even if you did not purchase the tires there. For a small fee, you can also buy lifetime balancing and get your tires balanced each time you rotate them. I have been dealing with Discount/America's Tire for over 10 years and have found their service and prices to be the best. Depending on what part of the US you are, they go by either Discount Tire or America's Tire.

Wow- that's harsh. I know America's Tire Store will rotate and repair flats for free too.
However, I rotate my tires myself when I change my oil/filter every 5K miles. It is a good way to keep track of wear and look for objects in the tires, nails, etc.

It's safer, and costs less, to rotate tires only as needed to keep the less-worn tires at the rear.

$50 is high, but thats what our dealer charges for Rotations as well. So we took our's to our local Discount Tire. We got their warranty per tire & now balances & rotations are free. Plus, if anything ever happens to those tires, we get a free one & all we have to pay for is the new warranty coverage. I'm not sure what our total cost was, as we did 8 tires, 2 cars & my husband paid

Toyota of Boone (NC) charges $9 for a rotation. From what I'm reading here, I'm getting a great deal.
