Hunter Engineering has a site to help you locate a Road Force balance machine, what the site doesn't tell you is how shade tree friendly the store will be.
By shade tree friendly, I mean what is the mechanic going to say when I come lumbering in with parts source from Rock Auto / Amazon etc. This morning I noticed a button on Tire Rack's Recommended Installer website "Road Force Balance".
I suspect a few forum members are like me, I like to (over) research a problem, purchase a solution and hire someone that knows what they are doing to install the solution. If I like a Gates pulley for whatever reason, I want to get the Gates pulley and live with whatever negative consequences result from not using an ACDelco. Most shops say "buy it here or go elsewhere". I understand the sentiment, but cannot help myself.
Hope the Tire rack locator helps someone like me.
PS: I didn't explain my thinking, I suspect "Tire Rack installer" = "Third party parts OK" and "Road Force" = "Quality Mechanic"
