No prob. It comes second nature to me. I specialize in the machines to change and balance tires and align vehicles.
There's lots of shops out there that want to save money and not rebalance, just rotate tires. A few years back I went to the corner shop with my mother"n"law and she dropped her car off for some new tires and a oil change. The next day she said the car didn't feel right, I test drove and told her they were out of balance. I took it back to the shop and asked them about the balance and they said they balanced the wheels. I said

I should have reported him to the B.A.R. but I didn't. He apologized balanced the wheels dynamicly and the car rode fine.... Never to go back there again!!! My mother'n'law now goes to the shops I recommend...
