Wheel Balance Shop Help (NY Area)

[Bklynjohn718]

Anyone in the NY area brooklyn/queens/long island know of any good reputable tire/wheel shops? I need to get my wheels balanced. Haven't had luck with the last place that balanced my wheels.

Thanks...

I've had good experience with Great Bear Auto on Queens Blvd in the past.

52-19 Queens Boulevard
(718) 424-4411

I use to go to them to swap my Blizzaks in twice a year before I got a dedicated winter rim. I always had them mount and balance and they never left a scratch. Ask for Milan and he'll take care of you. Haven't been back there recently though.

I had used these guys, their prices are good considering they are equipped with hunter balancing system. Just 1 year ago, I had my 21's re-balanced and TMPS inserted for $80. Another good thing is, u can hawk over them and watch their every move :smile (2):.

Been some time since I did it. In '06 it was $70-. My guess is Inflation seems right.
Hunter equipmnt is some bank

Yea same here two wheels at a time. Lemme tell you there is a huge difference with the balancing. When i had the wheels powdercoated from "Elite Coatings", i went back two times to have my wheels balanced and it still shook at 40mph and up. This place balanced it one time. Took it for a test drive like the guy said and it was perfectly smooth. I can't beleive it. Very recommended to all. Some kid came in with a new alitma with g37s rims and needed new tires from potholes and had bent rims.

Ah man when i went for the test drive a gtr flew past me and that exhaust sounds amazing. I want it! Lol

Thanks soon. I didn't mention your name but i did see this up the block =]~
