I've charged between $40 (check to see if 2 already match) and $150 for doing the complete process. (based on time and difficulty) I have had one of them come loose and scare up the wall behind the balancer and take out one of the transducers on the balancer. I also lost one of my favorite flannel shirts in that mishap. I'm glad it was between the ring gear and my belly. :~) I just factor this into doing business.

good to know,the fella i USED to have balance all my stuff died about 4 years ago but the feller that's doing it for the machine shop i took it to was trained by him so i'm pretty sure it's good to go.
thanks for the straight answer,i've been out of it (building engines) for a while so price changes along with shops...
