tire/alignment shop recommendation for Boston metro west / Natick area?

[laughMan]

I am planning to put crossclimite 2 on our model Y, but Costco wouldn't do it, because CC2 is V rated, and OEM is W rated tire!!!

So I am looking for recommendation. I used townfare tires in Framingham before, and they sucks!
One tire was not inflated, and they lost one lug nut!
When I complained, they gave me $2 and ask me to go buy a new one!!!

So I am looking for a shop that care about their customers and their cars.

Thanks in advance!

These guys are great. In addition to mounting and balancing, they have repaired the curb rash on several of my Arachnids.
I think they would mount any tire that met the load rating.
That said, I have only asked them to mount OEM tires (that I purchased from TireRack).
I would never buy tires from, or expect decent service from Costco or Townfair (after they bought out those other guys?).

great! now that you mentioned it, I used them before like 8yrs ago.
Good to know that they service Tesla! Many shops don't know how to jack up a Tesla!
I will call them tomorrow!

i like to get tires from tirerack or costco, bring in loose wheels to mount & balance, and then install them myself. requires another set of rims

talked to Wheel Dynamix today over the phone, and they are $100+ more per tire compare to tire rack.com.
And they want $250 for alignment because he said Tesla need a special equipment to do alignment....
seems like he was BS-ing me.... not getting a good vibe....

email exchange with Wheel Fix, and they are more fair. $400 cheaper than Wheel Dynamix for same tire mounted/balanced.
But they don't do alignment.... hard to find a one shop solution

so, where should I do alignment? NTB??

I have had trouble finding places to do alignment which aren't Tesla.
You may be able to have your tirerack order sent to Wheel Dynamix.
