I had my Aero wheels and tires balanced on a GPS 9700 last month hre in NH, and the service writer told me thatthey charge 10 per wheel when doing a straight forward dynamic balance,with out using the road force analysis part of the Hunter machine. When they have a car with reported vibration troubles, they charge $20 per wheel,since one of the common ways that the Hunter solves the problem is to mark both the rim and the tire's high spots, and suggest the correct position to re-mount the tire. Therefore, more labor is involved in dismounting the tire( or making it able to be rotated about the rim),and then rebalancing it. He only charged me the $40 fee since they had not explained that to me over the phone, but just quoted me the regular $10 fee. I think that if you are having vibration issues,about $80 USD( whatever that is in funny money)( joke) is a fair price. The Hunte machine will get rid of most of the vibrations in the 9-5.Most, but not all!
Good luck
