I am curious as to what everyone thinks a reasonable price is for a tire change and balance. Tell me what you think the prices should be for the following, and why.
Your comments and opinions will be valuable and taken into consideration so please take this seriously. Thanks. -eric

$15 each wheel.
$15 each wheel + 1/2hr labor.

A place around here charges 20 a wheel, but with 3 bikes and trackdays it seemed more cost effective to get my own changer. So now I do all my own tire swaps and even got it figured out so I dont scratch the rims

Change tube on dirt bike wheel $10.00 + $5.00 per rim lock
ATV Tires ? Haven't done them in so long, I forget what I charge for them

I only charge $10.00 each off bike, $15.00 each on bike.
But I'm not a "professional", I'm just helping people
out and making a couple bucks on the side.

Thanks for the feedback guys. In light of that, no one should have any complaints about my pricing. I am picking up my new changer later today and my balancer should be here tomorrow. Starting tog et pretty close to being open to the public...getting there....bit by bit.
