Default Looking for shop to mount/balance new tires

Hey fellas,

I was wondering if anyone has suggestions on where I can take my new tires to get mounted/balanced where the place is very careful about mounting the tires on the rims. A few months ago I got a flat tire and had to get it patched. The shop I went to scratched the paint off my rim and I don't want that to happen again. Any places or shops in the 562/714 area? Thanks for the help.

If you are worried about damage to your wheel, go to discount tire co. they will replace or repair any damage not already there, they are a corporation that bases itself on customer "satisfaction" not "service". I was once an assistant manager at one of their locations and was amazed at what I was able to do to make the customer happy.......(hehe) no really!
