So basically, Tom, a bubble balancer was not as accurate, right? (see I
understood some of it)
I may be dating myself here, but I didn't know it wasn't done that way
anymore. In these days of insurance/liability problems, a lot of shops
don't let customers in the work areas anymore, so I haven't gotten a
good look at the modern version of the wheel balancer. OTOH, I saw it
done at least 20 years ago (on a bubble balancer) and never had a reason
to actually watch it again.
So, do any of the major chains (Firestone, Broad Elm, etc.) have the
knowledge/experience/capability to balance wires (by virtue of the
volume of work they do), or must we search for a little shop run by some
ancient dude with hair growing out of his ears?

Don't assume that because you have found one problem, you have found the
ONLY problem.
