Precision Tire Install & Balancing
Fresh rubber is the single biggest upgrade for your vintage machine.
Service Description
Old tires are dangerous. Hardened rubber offers zero grip, and dry-rotted sidewalls are a blowout waiting to happen. At Hate City Cycles, we don't just spoon tires on; we treat your wheels with respect. We use rim protectors to prevent scratches and precision balancing to ensure a vibration-free ride at speed. Two Ways to Book: The "Carry-In" (Recommended - Best Price): You remove the wheels at home and bring them to the shop. Why do this? It saves you significant labor costs and gets you in and out of the shop in 48 hours. Price: $40 - $50 per wheel (Labor). The "Ride-In" Service: You drop off the whole motorcycle, and we handle the removal and installation. Note: Cruiser/Touring bikes with saddlebags or exhaust blocking the axle will incur additional labor charges. Price: $110+ per wheel (Labor). ⚠️ The "No-Compromise" Safety Rules: To ensure your safety, we strictly enforce the following: Mandatory Tubes: If your wheels use tubes, we must install a new tube and rim strip with every new tire. We will not reinstall old, stretched rubber. The "5-Year" Rule: We do not install tires with a date code older than 5 years, even if they look "new." Rubber degrades on the shelf. Rim Locks: Dual-sport bikes with rim locks incur a small surcharge due to the extra labor required.
Cancellation Policy
APPOINTMENT CANCELLATION & RESCHEDULING POLICY 1. THE "24-HOUR" RULE Your appointment time is reserved exclusively for your motorcycle. We require at least 24 hours' notice for any cancellation or rescheduling request. Notification Method: Cancellations must be made by phone or email. Social media messages (Instagram/Facebook DMs) are NOT considered valid notice. 2. LATE CANCELLATIONS & NO-SHOWS If you cancel with less than 24 hours' notice, or simply do not show up: Standard Service: A $50.00 cancellation fee will be charged to your card or added to your next invoice. Major Work/Drop-offs: If you scheduled a drop-off for a major project (engine rebuild, restoration) and do not show, you forfeit any pre-paid scheduling deposit. Repeat Offenders: After two (2) consecutive no-shows, we reserve the right to require a non-refundable 100% pre-payment to book any future appointments. 3. LATE ARRIVALS If you are more than 20 minutes late for your scheduled drop-off or consultation: We may be forced to reschedule your appointment to avoid backing up the rest of the day’s work. The Late Cancellation fee may apply if we cannot accommodate you that day. 4. THE "RIDE-IN" WEATHER EXCEPTION We understand that motorcycles are weather-dependent. Ride-Ins: If you planned to ride the bike to the shop and it is raining/snowing, the 24-hour fee is waived. Please call us by 9:00 AM on the day of the appointment to reschedule. Trailer-Ins: If you are trailering the bike, weather is not a valid reason for short-notice cancellation unless conditions are severe/dangerous (ice/storm warnings). 5. RESCHEDULING LIMITS To keep our project queue moving, an appointment may be rescheduled a maximum of two (2) times. A third rescheduling request will result in the cancellation of the work order, and your spot in the queue will be released to another customer
