Cost of Dealer Balancing and Road Force Balancing

Wondering how much dealers charge for balancing and road force balancing.

Anyone know what your dealer charges for either or both services?

Thanks!

I would recommend going to a dedicated tire performance shop for road force balancing. From my experience, the dealers don't know how to properly use the balancer and cost are much higher.

I see you are from NYC, I would recommend going to RCT Performance in Flushing Queens, its about $100 for all 4 corners road force. I always see BMW'S in there and its they only place I will go to.

About 40 minutes away, but just looked it up.

Good reviews overall, should check it out.

Thanks!

Motorcepts in queens is also a good place to go. They have the road force hunter balancing machine there. I got mine done there.
