of couse
most shop with big computer charge about $600 for a scan and $400 for a error code fix.
AK should do this too and charge a $100 less so he gets more customer by just doing this kind of easy job.
after all this is easy money

2 years ago I was charge $200 for the big computer to scan my Smart42 and other $200 to fix the error code.
this was very cheap.
for your info his name is Mario and fixes smart car.
he is a free lancer no shop.

I should buy a computer and start a bizzness just scanning cars and fixing error code, so easy money.

you have to pay Alan, computers are expensive, get the computer checked at AK.

for the wheels, i never saw such a ramp at the megabox joint, that and the computer is bigger than their shop!

Alan get your wheels done now or it will screw up your suspension and steering fast!!!!
or why don't you just get new wheels?

the ramp is on the floor inside, it is same as the 1 you took of photo and then they just put claps on each wheel and it is wireless.
the computer is inside which you did not go into the shop.

I think Alan wheels is fine.
best to get them rebalanced it the cheapest way to test to see if it is the wheels.
only about 300 to do all 4 wheels

Bill, you misunderstand my meaning, I am reminding other buddies that the scan at AK is not free, should pay AK!

Yeah, i will stop the mods for the moment and focus on fixing the wheel issue. AK helped to change the wishbone already and the vibration reduced but still have it at high speed. I suppose he has helped to inspect the "steering rack" which capt told me.

I don know, I am sure that I want to fix it but don know how to start and where to go to start. Go AK? or go balance again? or go to do a computer alignment config....?

But the tyre shop said the rear wheels are not required to do balance, only the front is require.

Anyway, I will do it again.
