Default Getting new tires installed

Can anyone recommend a reasonable place in Calgary to get tires mounted?

I've found a pretty good deal on new winter tires but they don't have the equipment to mount them(low pro tires and they typically deal with commercial trucks/farm equipment)
Anyone that i've called in town has wanted, what i think, i a lot of money.

Kal Tire #1 - $175
Kal Tire #2 - $195
Ok Tire - $210

All im looking to do is put new rubber on existing rims and balanced but if it's going to cost that much to get installed it almost eliminates the savings I'm getting.

Can express my gratitude for the referral.

Swapped the rubber on all 4 wheels, balanced and mounted in just over 30min.
Charged me less that they quoted me, and gave me a center cap for a wheel that was missing one.

Definitely going back for future needs.
