The Balancing Act opened for business in 1986 when Terry Thomas and Gerry Bartel saw the need for a crank balancing service on the Niagara Peninsula. The first machine the duo purchased was a Hines crank balancer, hence the company name. Between the two they had almost thirty years of experience in the automotive machining field and both felt it was time for a quality machine shop on the peninsula.

The pair listened to the needs of their customers and early on made the decision to re-invest the profits back into the company in the form of new machinery. This is a tradition that continues to this day and the customer benefits by this. The Balancing Act takes pride in the fact that it is probably the best equipped automotive machine shop this side of Toronto.

The shop has traditionally focused on the high performance and racing segment of the market and has every machine required to service it. In 2004 the company purchased a MD Mustang chassis dynomometer. The intent was to complement the engine building portion of the business. There is no point making serious power and not being able to refine it in the vehicle. The chassis dyno allows the full potential of the powerplant to be realized.
