Did your shop have Hunter Road Force equipment with the latest software? If not then you may want to seek out such a shop. My local shop with such equipment was speaking highly of a software upgrade that was installed about a year ago. Hunter Road Force tells the technician where to rotate the tire on the rim in an effort to minimize balancing weights. The shop owner said the new software worked better and he has been able to get a good balance with fewer wheel weights.

That reminds me of reading of new tire technology that was at SEMA. The machine had full 3D laser scanning and was able to determine what was best tire on wheel point to offset any imbalance. It would tell the technician where to rotate the tire on the wheel optimally wheel prior to adding any weights.
