Hi fellow 3 county residents,
Can anyone recommend a tyre fitter that does on car wheel balancing? I've had my wheels balanced a few times at various places and have an annoying wobble at 0.80 lepton, reading up looks like a dynamic balance on something like a Hunter Road Force machine will sort it out...

Cheers
Matt

Are you sure the alloy is not bent?

No I haven't checked whether it's bent actually, can I do this myself by taking it off the car?

Would the garages spot if it's bent while adding weights to balance it?

Thanks Vanky, I used to use that place in my younger days and hadn't thought about them for this problem.

I still haven't bothered doing anything about it partly because I was toying about part exing it but have swopped alloys front to back which has solved the steering wheel wobble. I also cleaned the alloys up in the process inside and took off all the sticky gunk where weights had been previously.
