Hunter Road Force balancer?
Mr. Bill or any of you other Reno/Sparks vette owners. Who in Reno/Sparks would you recommend to mount and balance that have a Hunter Road Force balancer and know how to use it? Got my new wheels and tires gathered up and need to get them finished up. The Tire Rack provided a list of shops that use the Road Force balancer, I just need to know which one is reliable and knowledgeable in it's use.
Also need to know of a really good alignment shop.
Thank you,
Pete O.

If there is a Discount Tire in your area go there...they do a fantastic job here in Michigan, and I would expect the same all over the country...they always let me stand nearby and watch as they mount and dismount everything. And, we always have a dialogue going on how the wheels are balancing. They show me the numbers on the Hunter and I write them down. If you get any nibble later in the steering wheel they will re-balance them free, of course. Once they even got me a free pilot sport tire to solve a problem...amazing in today's economy.

Hey Pete, I have had Big O on Pyramid and Greenbrae do mine at 2 different times, Rears first and then a few months later the fronts, Not really sure what type of machine they have, But I am happy with the work, To be safe they did my car outside with a floor jack, I asked why and he said he would rather do it that way than take a chance going up on the lift.
