Post wheel balancing

Is Custom Alignment the place to go in Mtn. View for wheel balancing?

Thanks,
Hal

Yes, and you should specifically ask for the dynamic balancing on the Hunter 9700.

Thumbs up

Another good place is Wheel Tech in Campbell, CA.
Tel: 408 866-5859. They also use a Hunter.

Thanks for your help.

I had my wheels polished at Wheel Tech. The job they did was just alright. I had to go back twice for the balancing because I experience shaking of the steering wheel.

I will give Custom Alignment a try and let you know.

I haven't used custom alignment but have used both Wheel Techniques and Roger Kraus Racing/Tires (in Castro Valley).

I thought Wheel Techniques did an ok job on refinishing and repairing my wheels and had no complaints about the balancing for the SO-3's I had shipped by Tire Rack. I've been very happy with the service at Kraus. The guy balancing my wheels had been going it for 15 years and I didn't even have to ask him to remove and replace the lug nuts by hand.
