I have a 2004 Base. 24K miles, but the balancer is starting to wobble, not much, but starting. Looking to have it replaced by a reparable shop on Long Island, NY. Preferably in Suffolk County. Can anyone here recommend a good shop? Thanks.

I am in the Midwest - so I do not know of a shop for you.
You may be wondering how bad your wobble is and if it is an URGENT repair or one that can be delayed a little while. There is an easy technique to determine this that anyone with a little white paint and a cell phone can do.
Here is the vid if you are interested.

Try Powerbond, or ASP. I think I've read somewhere that Summit balancers are rebranded Powerbond, but not sure. Im partial to ASP, but YMMV.....

I had two C5s that had their balancers replaced at the Vette Doctors in Amityville. Labor/parts total came out to be around $900.
