Who knows a place to get corner balancing done?
Who knows a place in the bay area that does cross corner balancing with a price sub $200? It will also be helpful if they do alignments but not as important.

Yea Roger Kraus is the only place i know of in the bay area that does corner balancing. it's pretty expensive to get it all done though, around $200 i believe for everything.

It's not just about weighing the car, there are a lot of steps and procedures to corner weighing a car properly. A good alignment tech is a must, and also having a lot of experience under your belt is key. +12345 for Brandon over there at

I went there because I heard a lot good things about them, maybe this is just one isolated incident. It's probably because their scheduler did not give Brandon sufficient time to do the work by scheduling the next appt too close. I recall Brandon was really on a hurry while working on my car.

And it seems that I'm not totally out of my mind as LIC is on it

When a shop is setting your corner weights make sure they add weight to the car to account for the weight of the driver and a full tank of gas. Also double check that your tire pressures are set at what you will be running the majority of the time.
