Take it back and ask them to check. You have paid for a service which appears to have been incorrectly done. Ask them to drive the car to confirm and then check the car over on ramps.

There are many reasons for cars to judder, not just balancing.

Warped discs is a common reason, especially if you have a stuck caliper/piston.

Sometimes a duff shock can bounce, causing a vibration.

Once had a lump of clay attach itself to a drive shaft, another time I had a CV joint on the way out. Both times felt the wheels were going to shake themselves off the car.

Remember to be calm and polite when explaining the situation. Many garages/tyre fitters rely on good rep and repeat custom. They would rather be given the chance to sort it than lose custom. But if you are arsy then you will be given the heave ho...

Good luck, hope you get it sorted.

Hi, a simple test to do dose the car shake at a certain speed?
if u can drive a faster or slower to stop the shake then it is more or less the wheel balance.
Also check the balance weights they should be in one place on the outer and inner of the wheel any weights opposite each other is incorect
