Just type in your ZIP code. IIRC when you look at the individual facilities, it lists the specific services (and even tire sizes) they handle.

I find people who say that road force balance is not needed are oblivious and stubborn. Road force balance is very good and help detect new out of round tires and help rematch the bad tires to the rims to get a better road force number for a smoother ride. Dynamic balancing doesn't always cut it.

Garbage
contrary to all the selling points of road force balance it has nothing to do with balance at all but mostly aligment.
some or most inferior(cheap)quality tires have the tendency to deform sideways due to torsion force during turns making the inner of the tires taller than the outer portion creating pull as the car is driven.
to alleviate this road force can suggest where in the car to install that tire to counter the pull.
when I install tires first I make sure they are the correct ones for the car, the customer has no say or suggestion of what tires will be install on his/her car.
Nor I ever fix or suggest to fix flats, specially on big sedans or sport cars.
on good quality tires is very random to see one deform to the point to consider road force to compensate pulling or vibration, if ever the case the tire/s get replace.
same thing applies to wheels, mostly cheap wheels are the ones that bend easy, once bent one can try all the road force in the world and will not accomplish anything.
