There are tire store guys who know how to balance tires and align vehicles. And there are those who do not. The second group outnumbers the first group, in my humble opinion. Lots of guys know how to run a tire balance machine. Only a few seem to know how to balance a tire. I got some tires/wheels balanced on my pickup once, using a fancy computer balance machine. But they were still not balanced, particularly in the rear. So, I took the truck to Bernie's in Olympia (those guys are now retired, unfortunately). Bernie balanced the rears without even removing them from the vehicle. The tools he used were a floor jack, a pair of wheel weight pliers, and his experience. It was fun to watch.

No, I do not know Greg's background. Everything I know about Greg relates to his professional performance over the last several years.

And for those of you who think I feel elitist, a couple of things: We all have our beliefs, including me. You wonder why I don't agree with you, and I wonder why you don't agree with me. I am trying to understand this "elitist" notion of liberals, and your comments help. And I also notice the disparaging remarks I hear about people who have beliefs like mine. So, if you think I am elitist, but you guys are somehow not, then please show me how your beliefs encompass mine, but mine not yours. It looks to me like some of the conservatives here look down their noses at folks like me. And then call me "elitist." And if you're just not getting any of this, then blow me.
