Default Looking for a shop that does wheel balance on lowered cars

I currently have my s2k that is fairly low and most shops won't touch it because of liability issues. Looking for someone that will do a wheel balance at a reasonable price. Let me know. Thanks.

Seriously, take the wheels off and give it to them. Is it that difficult?

You should be sensible and do what everyone has already suggested. However, if you want someone to do it call Bert's in Virginia Beach, they are expensive but do good work.

I do that every fall with my winter tires, and every spring with my summer tires. Drop off, pick up, take home and put on car.

Wheel balance?

Just take it off and walk in and tell them to balance it. Any tire shop should do that.

Edit: Didn't hit refresh and notice you all said the same thing.

If you really must take the wheels in attached to the car, i would suggest trying any dealer. They probably mount/balance cheaper anyway. I know Casey VW can and will lift lowered cars. I just took my aftermarket wheels and tires to them and it's cheaper than any shop i called.

Whether or not they will accept your business having an S2K, i am not sure. i dont see why not, it's only tires. It's worth a call, at least.

This seems too easy....

Do you mean a wheel alignment?
