Default Solid Tire Balancer in LA area?

Anyone know of a great tire balancer in Los Angeles area, preferably with a road force machine? Been striking out so far and getting tired of crappy mechanics giving me the run a round.

Bagge and Son on 10417 W. Washington Blvd. Culver City is really good. The owner has good knowlege of 4x4 and I was really impressed by him.

Bagge and Sons suggested I try Davis Brothers for any LA jeepers trying to find a place to balance their oversized tires. So far the only place I've found in 4wd in Redondo but I haven't had the best track record with them.

Firestone Tire on PCH in Redondo Beach mounted and balanced my 35" M/Ts on my stock wheels. No problems so far.

I just had my 37's mounted and balanced at 4Whee Parts, Van Nuys last week and am very impressed with the ride.

I've had it up to 80mph and it's smooth as butter Extremely happy with the work.

They're smoother than the 35's I had, which were balanced locally.
