Default Finding a shop to mount tires on wheels

My 19 inch wheels arrived today via UPS so I called Quality Tire in woodbridge to see when I could have the tires I ordered mounted on the wheels. The guy told me since I didnt buy the rims and tires from him it would cost $250 just to mount and balance them WTF!!! Then he told me if I bought them from his store he would charge 10 bux. How can they charge sooo much for a few minutes work ? Was he just trying to rip me off or was he serious ? Does anyone else know of a place that will mount the tires on the wheels for me without charging an obscene price?

Yup I called Firestone and they said 60 for all four regardless of where I bought the wheels and tires. I think Quality Tire is a ripoff , I know I wont ever call them for anything ever again and I suggest the same to anyone else out there . Now the question is who can I trust not to damage my wheels at all ?

Thanx but thats in Norfolk. I need to find a place near woodbridge/stafford/lorton/springfield. Firestone is cheap but can they be trusted ? Anyone who works at a shop that can help me out ?
