Yeah true... I wish I had the tech that tried to balance my tire on video. It took him an hour and he still could not balance my tire, they had to tell me to try another shop and they would foot the bill. He was dropping my rim, didnt have my tire on the machine right causing it to pop off, crow barring the hell out of ****. Turns out he put the back wheel weight and the sticky weights on the same side of the rim, causing a horrifying unbalanced wheel. The guy was real nice to me but was very unsure of working on my car (told me he's still in uti and only had this job for a week). On top of it they told him to take a grinder to my wheel on the bead seal area and he simply refused and said he wouldnt touch it because he was afraid to mess it up haha. Previously when I got my car inspected last year, apparently people cannot read the words "DO NOT LIFT HERE" because they bent my front fenders out and denied doing it lol. A good honest mechanic would be nice to have on call.
