Hunter machines

Ok. guys... i think I have to share my experiece....
Several weeks ago I visited V&S service for tire balance....Overall its was a good experience, however my ride didnt feels right...
So today I stoped at the first tire shop, what i saw and asked them to re-check my tire balance.
Of couse my tire balane wasnt good, but suprise is, that that tire shop has Hunter Balancing machine gsp9700, AND Hunter allighnment machine AND Hunter tire mounting machine... Prices are good. I paid for 4 tire with Road Forse balance only 80$..... And the best thing is, that they changing for allignment only 85$...
So if anyone interested:

"Emils Tire shop"
1701 Gravesend Neck rd.,
Brooklyn, NY,11235
Tel: 718-332-9358

We mounted and balanced your used summer tires. I wish you would have called to let me know something didnt feel right. That being said, I am glad you sorted it out. The Hunter Roadforce GSP9700 balancer is a sweet piece of machinery. I'll have to ask my Hunter Rep what deal we can get for one of those.

BTW, I forgot to mention, that they filled my tires with Nitrogen ( or something like that) and ride comfort improved + handling became a little bit better ( small difference, but sometimes noticeable)

Vince,
you have a good shop,...
But Hunter machines make a big difference for performance cars. But they are pricey...
Ralph, told me that he paid 25000 for Hunter tire mounting machine ( which is garantee no scraches on rims)... kinda pricey.

To KingSimon,

If I may suggest you a diffenet indy, best from my experience.

They are located on the corner of Ave. Y and E.17 str., Brooklyn .. ( 2 blocks from your indy), best work ( mechanical) ever done for me in 4 years on my x5.
But if you'll try them, ask for Alex ( mechanic ), or Grisha ( also mechanic)...

You mean within the golf gas station?

I know, I figured around there with the cost..Brutal. But for a Tire shop a must! Auburndale Tires by me has similar mounting equipment. Nitrogen is nice too, I want to get that done to my S4, I think i'll be paying those guys a visit for that service. Good to know
