Scott explains how a BMW dealer mishandled tire and wheel balancing on his car, then shows what the proper fix looks like. The dealership's poor service left the vehicle with serious balance problems that Scott corrects himself.
Scott, with the BMW, came to us. He said, man, I just got this car back from BMW. They bounced all four tires, and it's got a vibration, so I'm going to take it off and figure out what's going on with it. So if you've never worked on BMWs before, they're kind of finicky cars. BMWs, Mercedes, Audis. But whatever it is, we'll take care of it. And also, he told him to get all this old adhesive off. They left it on there, so we're going to take care of that for him, too. All right, the tire number one spun. It got 31 pounds of force. Let's see if we can't fix that. All right, tire number two out of 32 pounds of force, let's see if we can't fix this one. All right, tire number three is about the same. Now, tire number four. This is where it gets interesting. All right, so you see a weight there, right? Now watch this. There's a weight in the middle. Why? That's there. You got another weight over here. That's amazing. And tire number four is his. So the backstory to this BMW, he paid the BMW dealership over 800 to road force balance his tires and repair two bent wheels. Well, they didn't do that. So driver front was a £31. We got it down to 14. All right, so that's what we got. We got passion. Front from 32 down to 24. Driver rear down to. From 30 down to. Down to 17 pounds. And that one's a little bent. And then we got a pass rear from 27 down to 22. So BMW, they said they did all this and everything was perfect. You got to watch what you do when you go to dealerships.
