Tayar Tiong is family business. I think the 3 are brothers, I don't think got other staffs.
As mentioned earlier, must see who the sifu is. With machine and reading is good to show to customers like you, when the reading goes to zero, but may not accurate. The machine needs to be calibrated, so depends whether the shop does that or not, same as most machine including alignment machines.
Yup I agree. But on-wheel balancing with machine that can rely on the reading also saves quite a lot of time. That day at Hin Leong, that guy who did the on-wheel took quite long to do it as he alone had to feel the vibration on the steering, then come out of the car and put/remove the weights and the process goes on and on until he said ok should not vibrate at all but when I tested it, still the same so at that point of time, I felt a lot of time was wasted plus I had to travel quite far to Klang as well.As mentioned earlier, must see who the sifu is.

The engine rotated wheels, I have seen many sifus before and all are good. One uses his hands to touch the car panel for vibration. One touches the springs, and one just feel the steering, so macam macam ada......you have not seen won't believe, but I have tried before also.....
Yup, with machine should save time.
Balancing is to equalized the weight all round the tyres, so when spinning the even weight will make the wheel spin perfectly without vibrations.
Not sure if I'm using the correct term but when the tires/rims are put on the balancing machine, can see that the rim is wobbling a little when it's spinning (although foreman already made the balancing to 0 so almost perfectly balanced). Quite difficult to explain with words, it's just that by looking at the edge of the rims, can see it doesn't spin smoothly like you can see it spin in/out a little.Balancing is to equalized the weight all round the tyres, so when spinning the even weight will make the wheel spin perfectly without vibrations.
If rims are badly dented, balancing can still be done, but because of the bad dent, at high speed the dent throws the wheel out of balance, therefore there will still be vibration even though perfectly balanced. Slight dent may not affect balancing.
If they cannot solved after a few times, might as well change shop. You are not from Klang, right?
Balancing, I rather do nearer to my house or office....
