That's good just make sure to go first thing in the morning or mid afternoon during the middle of the week which will be slower times most likely. Call and talk to the store manager and request their best guy for balancing wheels. Maybe make an appt. while speaking to the manager. That way you can get someone that knows what they're doing.
This was several years ago now that I think about it but when I had new Firestones installed on the Accord all balancing weights fell off the oem alloy wheels. Took it back and they redid them. Those flew off as well. Called the manager and he said if I didn't feel any vibration on the hwy then I didn't need them. Shortly after that I had tire issues, uneven wear, loud noise etc. The tires had 30k on them and they were rated for 60k miles. The prorate was horrible so ended up going somewhere else.
The Chevy dealer might do a good job. I've had good experiences at the dealer with alignment and balancing issues.
