-Heads up-

Be careful getting your wheels balanced at the shop. The machine may not be calibrated properly or the people are not trained properly. So far, 3 cars they did for me are always off at least .25 to up to 1. I took the car to another shop to confirm. They also scratched my Audi's rims that were in perfect shape. The tires prices were good, but the work sucked.

Yeah, they didn't tighten down a valve stem on one of my wheels and the tire catastrophically failed (as in it completely deflated) and came completely off my brand new set of Advan's, luckily it didn't scratch or bend the wheel as I only drove on it for less than 100ft before it happened. I took it in and the manager said "Gosh! Never seen anything like that before!", he checked out the tire and everything and I found the valve laying on the ground, I put it on the table to show him and he picked it up, looked at it, and threw it in the trash right in front of me like he didn't know what it was. He apologized profusely and offered me free mounting and balancing, but I declined and decided to never go back there. Shoulda posted it up from the sound of it, thought I might have been an isolated incident.

I took 2 cars back for them to correct and make sure it wasn't just a fluke, but it still had the shakes. They will not be touching my cars again.
