i just picked up a new set of rubber and need to mount them but not sure where to go. i have had bad luck before. i went to amercas tire and they carved up 3 of my wheels and would not replace...they just didnt charge me for the mounting. can you believe that!!!

anyway...looking for a place in the bay area...what do you think about wheel works? i have heard they are competent but just wanted to get other options. thanks!!

 

i've run into those bad places too. i end up going to Exact Motorsports now in Milpitas when i need to mount

 

Exact is good shop, but I am not sure if they do the mounting. I am sure they don't have alignment, so I need to find another shop for the alignment.
I just went to Costco for mounting and seems like they did a good job. My rims are not scratch.

its a older filpino guy named Roy. He is a AE86 enthusiast very well known in the AE community. I bring all my wheels to him.

he makes sure the lip doesn't get jacked.

 

Auto Innovations in Milpitas

Got my Azenis mounted on the Regamasters no scratches.

They also do alignment.

It was around $60 I think... Give him a call and get a quote.

 

well, just called auto fix and the guy there said he was closing shop. calling wheel tech to see...at least if they do damage the wheel they can fix it there

what are the phone numbers for exact and auto innovations? thanks all once again...i hope this also helps others. finding a good shop is hard these days.

 

sorry about that bud. now I have to find a decent place in the bay also...

 

the stock ITR rims have a really cruddy coating and get scratched way easily.... even when you take of the stock wheel weights it leaves a mark. I have marks where the bolts go too =/

Green Bay?

 

SF CA BAY AREA.

 

Slightly OT: anyone know of a good alignment shop on the peninsula (San Mateo/San Carlos area)?

Toscalito tire on lombard street in sf does a lot of large wheel and low pro tire mounting. If you are worried about getting your wheels scratched thats where I would go. Another good place for the alignment is advanced auto on mission in San Francisco.
