*Cough* *choke* you want to charge HOW MUCH?

So I'm in the middle of a tire change....
ordered the tires in (two different places - going darkside).

Got the bike up on the lift, took some time, but got both tires off and they're loaded in the car.

I have a buddy who was willing to help me change the tires/rims by hand, but after all that work I figured I might just keep it simple and pay someone for that part.

Called a local bike shop, asked the right questions
ME - change two tires, one front and the other is actually for a trailer, bike rim car tire - can you do it....
Shop guy - hang on.... yup no problem
shop guy - Just to confirm, these are loose - rims are off the bike
Me - yup, they're in the back of my car right now.
Shop guy - yes, we can do it. Just to let you know the cost is $75 PER Tire, but I can get you in right away.
me- .... *choke* uhh okay, I'll see if I can pop over this afternoon.... maybe....

$150 to change the tires, and I've already pulled the rims off the bike...... Wholly crap! I wonder what the cost would have been if they were still on the bike?



Then, he tells me
