Best Wheel Balance - GTA?

I am looking for opinions on the best machine to balance wheels and where I can get it done in the GTA.

Thanks,

As long as they use Hunter machines you will be ok.

Who uses them in particular im not 100% sure. Simply Tire might be one of the companies.

balancing

There is a lot of machines that will do a fine job.
My input is this.
- if you need to balance your wheels with road-force machine, simply put there IS something wrong with your tires or rims ( period ).
In a good set of rims ( straight and true ) and good quality rubber, you will never need to go to extreme in hiding problems.
- there are at least few brands out there: coats, hunter, FMC, Hofmann.

Hofmann is the one that I'm using ( two machines ) it has been proven to get the job done consistently every time. I use a special BMW haweka centering adaptor to get my tolerances within 1 gr.

Oh yeah I have been doing this for about last 20 years.
