All the stuff you guys are saying is exactly what
I always understood. I am quite sure they are
not doing on the car balancing. Especially not
for this tire, because I just brought in the
loose wheel while I kept using the car with the
spare. I cannot report what was actually done
because the garage area is completely separate
from where the customer gets to be. Maybe if it
was a hot summer day I could peek in the open
garage door. The main question I had is
whether different balancing on front and rear was
now a "thing." Apparently not. Thanks.
