Action Tire Services
12520 110 Ave Surrey, BC V3V 3J8
(604) 580-1766

Used tires, wheels, mounting & balancing.
Remove, balance & installed 4 wheels was $60
Never made appointments, but usually they can fix you up in about 1/2 hr.
They have repaired a couple of flats, free for me also.
Checking thru their stock I did buy a decent set of original 2L wheels there once ($140)

      Well, Cancel all that... After 15 years of working at M&T I have given my notice.  As of June 2nd I will be working at Williams Automotive on the corner of Benvoulin and KLO.  It is a Family run shop that has been around for more than forty years.  I look forward to meeting the new customers and hope that many of my customers will find me there.  And , Yes we do tires there too.
