Believe it or not ..
Most dealerships Dodge, Ford, GM, all use the Hunter Road Force Balance machine
But there is a BIG difference,
The Wheel & Tire stores, train some if not all of the shop employees how to run the machine properly, some actually go to Hunter's classes.
Dodge Dealerships, grab anyone that happens to have a free moment & tell them to Rotate & Balance the wheels & tires on such & such vehicle.
A Custodian or a car jockey that drives your vehicle back into the shop area, might be working on your wheels & using the Hunter Machine.
If a employee is Trained on a piece of equipment, they get a Certificate & should get a pay raise, usually dealerships rather not have training.
Just because a person has used a similar machine back when they were working at a gas station,does not mean that they know how to work a Hunter machine.
I took one set of wheels & tires to the dealership & they could not balance my tires.
What happened was the person working on my truck, kept ripping off the glue on weights & did not realize it
