We sell one thing, replacement tires installed at your address, in ten metros, through a local partner, with one price first. Facts about Wrench are from its tire-installation service page read on 2026-09-17.

When Wrench is the better fit

• You want a bundled courtesy vehicle inspection and an alignment recommendation alongside the tire installation.
• You are comfortable requesting a free quote by phone or web form before seeing a number, and value a broader mobile-mechanic relationship for future repairs.

When we may be the better fit

• You want the whole price stated up front rather than after requesting a quote.
• Your city is not one of the 80-plus Wrench names, or you want one technician relationship focused only on tires.

Scope: four 225/65R17 all-season tires, customer-supplied, mounted and balanced in a driveway.

Wrench does not publish a price for this job; its page states quotes must be requested directly, and no dollar figure appears on the page we read.

We show our all-in price for this job online in minutes, so you can put it next to Wrench's before you talk to anyone. The dated numbers from both sides go here when both quotes are on file.

What we will not say

Anything about its prices, since none is shown before a quote request; its "openings left today" language describes availability on the date we read it, not a standing guarantee.
