This works for all places that balance tires, i.e. Sears, Midas, etc...YMMV
Walmart Tire Center [walmart.com]
I know it says $1.50 per tire to rotate but if you ask for a BALANCE
FIRST, which they have to take off the tires anyhow, they can put it back on anyway you want, i.e. free rotation. You just have to ask for the Balance first.
Balancing and rotating go hand in hand most times. It makes your tires last longer and promotes even wear.
LIFETIME Balance means lifetime of tire that you bought or your lifetime...I don't know but I'm going to assume it's your lifetime.
Buyer Beware: here are some links of complaints of
Walmart [ripoffreport.com]
On a side note:
www.ripoffreport.com [ripoffreport.com]is a good/ fun place to see people's complaints and stuff

However, the $7.50 lifetime balance usually includes rotation
but they really have the worst people working there and they take there time in doing everything and takes sometimes 3hrs just to get a oil change

Boy you can say that again... I have had my oil changed at the same place for YEARS, I moved and to keep from driving so far, I decided to try the walmart garage. Well, it took 2 trips before they screwed up my car. No, I didn't say the oil change, they actually broke a piece that holds the oil filter on because when they couldn't pull it off with their hands they took a crowbar to the thing!!!! To make matters worse, they didn't tell me they had broke the piece, nor did they even try to put a new piece on (it was a $0.25 piece for @#%@% sake!!!!)! The next time I went to my normal place and they pulled it up and said "WTF, where did you take this thing to" and showed me where the guys at walmart, instead of replacing a $0.25 piece of metal, decided to GLUE the piece together with some 'industrial' glue and let me ride around for a couple thousand miles with my oil filter/plug just on the verge of popping off and draining all my oil. AGAIN, this is all for a $0.25 piece!!! I have since boycotted walmart, both for my groceries, material goods, and especially for any automobile work. I find that by spending an extra couple dollars at a reputable place could be the difference between the life and death of you and/or your car is worth it.
