Hello Everyone, Please folks....under NO circumstance should you give a transporter a deposit! You are setting yourself up to get screwed like so many others have in the past! I believe a mans word is his bond & will NEVER ask for a deposit. Had a great run out to Oregon from Delaware & stopped home...

Bill, at highway speeds in modern and classic cars, I can see the benefits of good wheel balance. However, none of my T's are anywhere near capable of highway speeds, so wheel balance is not something I have ever seen the need for. For me, it comes down to "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Allan f...
