Default Local shop to strip/mount and balance tires

I'm getting my wheels powder coated, but the shop I am using requires that I bring the wheels in bare, so I need to have my tires dismounted prior to dropping them off. Once they're done, I will also have to get my new tires mounted and balanced. Anyone know of a shop that is gentle on wheels who won't take the opportunity to bend me over for not having bought tires with them?

Erik, I would reccomend advanced performance tire. They havent ever screwed up my CCW's mounting 315/25/19's at one point without issue.

those guys are fairly good on pricing, and should take good care of you.

Wheel Tec on the other hand put deep scratches in my rear wheels, on all 5 spokes. Fortunately they are polished and I cleaned it all up, but they didnt give a shit about 3+k in wheels any more than some steelies.


How's the subaru, assuming you've still got it?
you still selling parts and such? Lmk via pm if you get a chance!

Take care,
Mark

Advance it is. Thanks for the responses. The car looks kind of sad put up on blocks in the garage. Hopefully the powder coaters turn the wheels around in good time. :
