Default Roadforce Balancing and Alignment in NYC

Can anyone recommend a shop that does a good job at both?? Must be in NYC/NJ/not-too-far LI...

The current balancing was done on a standard balancer by a guy who's been doing it all of 3 weeks. There is shake at 70-80. The alignment was done by the dealer, but they did not leave the steering wheel deadnuts center which really irks me.

These guys are great and set my vette up quickly.

The reason I went there was also the result of a less than optimal job at a Chevy dealer. Gave them two chances and then went to Elite.

Thanks. Looking to avoid chain places ATM as they'll rush you in and out. (Unless it's one recommended)

A bit far, but looks like a nice shop. I'll look into them.

I used the site before and found a few. Just looking if there's a consensus that Vetters go to. Thanks.



Thanks all for your inputs

On another note, I might just have been a dummy. I left the rotor clips on the studs after switching to aftermarket wheels which explains the shake. The alignment's still off as the wheel isn't completely 12oclock driving straight, but I'm just being picky. Also want to go to the PFADT street settings.
