It would seem that you should be able to do at least as good.

I decided to try www.tirevan.net . Total cost $606 "out the driveway" + $30 return fee. What's a $30 return fee you ask? Well after being wowed that I wouldn't have to be home to have this work done there was no reminder by tirevan to me to leave available the wheel lock. So in order to get them to return today I had to pay an additional $30 fee. There's not even mention of a return fee on their web page. I'm pissed about the $30 fee but pleased with the work.
