Thanks for that information it was very very useful and helpful! From the looks of it and what you have mentioned, I will only need a tire rotation and will go over to one of my local tire shops to see what they charge for a rotation alone - I am sure I can find a better price at a trusted place than what the dealership offered me (40$).

Check around for independent tire shops with a good reputation to find a deal on rotation and balancing your tires. I have a local tire company that is family owned in the area that will for free come out and fix a flat tire in the general neighborhood area and they also charge a lifetime fee as long as you own the car for balancing and rotating the tires plus front end alignment. They also give me a break on Mobile One oil changes since I have all three of my cars on the plans, except my RS Camaro for rotation. I also put nitrogen in all of my cars tires and they will fill them twice a year for free. Nitrogen has no moisture in the gas and the larger molecules don't allow for big fluctuations in tire pressure over big temperature changes. I actually went out and bought a tank of nitrogen with deposit for $150 and $20 to refill the bottle/exchange and did my own nitrogen change after my first car was converted since it cost $69 to have it converted plus the spare tire. I hardly ever add air(nitrogen to my tires) but maybe every once in two months at most depending on temperature change.
