Default Roadforce Balancer

Anyone know of a tire shop, located in central Toronto, with a Roadforce balancer ? Thanks in advance.

Not sure how central to Toronto you need it to be but I was at Tires23 in Mississauga yesterday and did a Hunter Roadforce balance there.

Should be anywhere that does Porsche.
Or are you asking for balancing while the wheel is on the car?

Any shop that has updated their equipment recently will not have Roadforce anymore, its old tech
New equipment uses multiple 3D Camera's and 3D Line Laser's to balance

Thanks guys. Should have been more specific. Am looking for as close to Yonge and Eglinton as possible or at least on the subway line. It's for the Z not the Porsche.

Mercedes-Benz Midtown, Lexus on the Park and Parkview BMW - all of which are within 1 km of Eglinton and Leslie - have roadforce balancers. I can't see any of them turning you away just because you'd show up with a Nissan.

You also need a tech that is willing to do the extra work to match the tires to the wheels. The only shop that has ever gone that extra mile for me is tires23.

Thanks Danny. This problem is a bit more than a stock alignment but that's a great price. Need to find a faulty wheel or rim or maybe something else that gives me front end vibration at um, over the speed limit.

Markham Alignment is good too. Owner is pretty accommodating for schedules. $140 is about right across the board.
