Actually, it is now $195/hr as noted on my paperwork from this morning's S/C visit (I didn't have to pay anything, I just noted the rate).

Do they rotate just front? I just got the “safe jack” which lets you lift the car safely. I just got one because I’ll lift it enough to allow the car to go on the side then use a Jack with a special puck to hold the other part. The safe jack will do most of the work. If I have to rotate side to side then I’m screwed lol
Discount Tire rotated my Model 3 tires for free. They know I'll be back when I need to buy a set of tires.

AWD? lift the front of the car and swap both wheels (no need to fully tighten to spec).
Lower the car, then jack up each side rotate back to front.
This will give you a rearwheel cross rotation (I know it sounds strange since you started with crossing the fronts
but that's what you would end up with).I was in a couple weeks ago for glass replacement and asked about tire rotation. Was told the $100-something price was the old price and the system hadn't been updated, SA did some typing on the keyboard, and it came to $50.70 total.
Should note that when I went back to pick up my car, the invoice was reverted back to $100-something, but he then had to change it again back to $50.70.
i've had mine done roughly every 7500 miles. i thought i remembered reading that somewhere...i'm a little overdue for my third.
When I searched google for discount tire, America’s tire came up as the first hit. Are they the same?
Anyhow, I went to America’s tire and they charged $40 for the rotation.
Page 136 of the most current owner’s manual:
• “Rotate tires every 10,000-12,000 miles
(16,000-20,000 km) or if tread depth difference is 2/32 in (1.5 mm)”
Previous versions of the owners manual recommended tire rotation every ~6K miles
Did they take out the lug caps for you or you did it yourself?
If you have the aero wheels
I take them off for Discount Tire. They do it for free. I take the 5 minutes to pull them. I do the torque check a week later myself. They as others have noted know I am coming back.
