I own a classic Mercedes (sorry for intruding, but at least it's German!) I am seeking a tire shop in NOVA to mount and balance new tires. I'd rather not go to one of the local places where an 17 year old kid will be jacking up my car. Any suggestions?

Alban Tire in Newington (ask for Frank, tell him you heard about them through the Porsche Club). And if you can make it to Silver Spring, Radial Tire is hard to beat.

Second for Alban. Used them for my Mom's Lexus and was pleased.

More importantly, tell us more about the Mercedes! Some of us here have those as well.

X (what ever)! Alban's been around so long they even named the street after them... or was it the other way around

I heard that the PCA National President legally changed his name because of them!!!

Thanks, I'll give him a call. It's a 1971 280SL Silver w/red interior. Tires have lots of tread left but they are 15 years old so I want to replace them before I head out on any long road trips.
