Turbo balancing in Jax

Anyone know of a place to get a turbo balanced near Jacksonville? I tried calling a few diesel shops and they said they just sell remans. Pfff. Pussies.

His father was one of the original engineers at turbonetics. He lives breathes turbos, has very good pricing.

Anything closer? I'd love to go there, but it's a little far to travel from SE Georgia just to have my turbo balanced.

It would be worth it to ship it to him, trust me. Give him a ring

Understandable, I just want something that has a turnaround time of maybe a day or 2. Something I can get done quickly, instead of waiting for shipping.

In case someone searches this later, I found 2 shops in the Jacksonville, FL area that will balance a turbocharger.

Roy's diesel injection service on Lenox ave will do it for $65 and can have it back to you within the day, provided you bring it in early enough. The place looks a little dingy, but the guys there are really friendly and are willing to help you out.

Another place is called L&J diesel service. They're really hard to get answers out of because they seem like they're too busy to deal with you right now. I hate businesses like that, but I'll post them as well seeing as these are the only 2 places I've found in all of the giant city of Jacksonville that will balance a turbo. L&J (after much calling and eventually showing up in person, only to get ignored by a guy in the front on a computer for about 5 minutes and then he says "Someone will be right with you") will do it for $79.

I probably could have taken it down to Ocala to Evergreen turbo, but I didn't want to ship it (takes too long) and I didn't want to risk driving it down there and not being able to get it back until the next day. That would have meant another 3 hr drive each way just to pick it up. I'm sure they do good work though.
