What to look for in alignment shop

Anyone able to give me some pointers on what to look for in a good alignment shop and also wheel balancing? I know the factory wheels are not hub centric like most wheels out there but what should I be looking for. I've been getting some bad balances lately and I'm tired of wasting money.

:wtf:

No offense to the young guys, but I always ask if they have a guy with gray hair, who smokes like a chimney and cusses like a sailor. He'll do a good job.

I took my 65 Mustang to a Midas shop a couple of years ago and the young guy who did the alignment took 5 hours - FIVE HOURS! I took it to a local shop with the above described guy and he did a great job in less than an hour.

Granted a 65 Mustang is more of a challenge than a 4Runner, but there's something to be said for a guy who's done a few thousand alignments. He's probably seen it all and knows what little things make a difference.

And I could be wrong but I believe my factory wheels are hub-centric. They fit very tightly on the hubs.
