Advan Tire Scarborough - touchless wheel mounting

I am looking to use Advan Tire to swap out my winter rims. Does anyone know if they use touchless mounting?

Also, how much do they charge to store rims for a season (6 months)?

Suggestions, comments would be much appreciated.

I wouldn't go to Level Auto. Go to a reputable shop like Advan Tires, Simply Tires, or Tires23 for roadforce balancing.

Roadforce is pretty much foolproof/automatic, same with that walkaway they have.

Had a bad experience with their alignment tech/manager at their old location but would be willing to give them another shot to see if things improved years later, if I need another alignment.

Aside from it being far from OP and I, many years ago, I took my Volvo S70 to do an alignment. They claimed they couldn't do it for some unknown reason. Went somewhere else and they did a 4 wheel alignment no problem.

Hmm thanks for this. I'm not anywhere near there but they seem to come back with the lowest price for tyres for what I'm looking for of all the places tried. That's not bad for having that pricey Revolution machine(s).

Yeah that part is a bit nuts but otherwise their prices look good to me. I don't really care too much about RFB, so these guys might be a good place to go with.

Does anyone have any actual experience with them?

Interested in getting roadforce balancing, is this why the tires starts vibrating at a certain highway speed? Thanks!

Cheapest I got for hunter machine services was at limitless tire, I bought the annual membership for $147 which gives you unlimited services, like alignment, install, mounting, road force balancing, etc. All top tier hunter machines.

Hmm, there's a Limitless near me but I'm always wary places that offer no credit check financing.

Is there fine print to there membership?
