I had a nice static balancer.

My tire changer was identical to this, but Harbor Freight charged about $45 for it.

I agree with the high costs of vehicle repairs. I, like you have been working on my own vehicles since I was young. I am in the process of building my 47 Ford business man's coupes into a street rod. Unfortunately the house I now live in doesn't have a garage, so that is next on the list so I can continue building the car.
Have you tried searching college's or Jr college's for an auto body class. We have a Jr college near by that had an elective auto body repair and paint class during the day, 4 nights /wk and 8 hr Saturday. Those troops who attended the night and Saturday class were all hot rodders and turned out some nice cars/trucks. I built mini tubs for my '55 Chevy, de-painted the doors, hood and front fenders. But I was smacked in the side of my '88 Chevy so I stopped on the '55 and straightened panels,replaced a fender and repainted it in one of our two paint booths. The '55 was never finished and was sold to a fellow in Burmingham, Al.
BTW all us students were able to buy paint and supplies at discount at a few paint stores near by, the school furnished everything else. It will save your some money if there is a similar schooling close by.
Good luck

Same tires? WE got better tires for less at Pep Boys for my wife's Outback, road hazard included, popped a tire and they replaced no charge, not even any paper work for me. Bob.
I use Michelin load range E.

Not sure the load range but the tires we got were the Michelin recommenced for the car, nice handling and good grip tires, I'll do the same when my Forrester needs tires. Bob.
