Bentley Edinburgh at Kinnaird Park certainly used to have one, they sorted a balancing issue on a 335i I had about 8 years ago

Yeah I have used them for 10 years. Been going there since they had the hunter road force balancers installed. They used to be cheaper but these days they charge 20+vat per wheel for it. I had to get it done on two cars recently.

As mentioned above Bentley Edinburgh has one but they quoted me a "discounted rate" of 150+vat per hour for it and it takes around 1.5 hours to do 4 wheels properly.

Autotec are good to me, they let me watch as I take an interest in this stuff anyway, careful with the wheels etc.
The owner of the garage is a real car enthausiast. The place is decked out in hunter equipment. Infact they have 3 road force balancers!

Correct me if I am wrong but I am sure pro grip only do alignment? I have been there many moons ago and it was a single unit with 1 guy and a hunter alignment machine. Might have changed now
