Find a specialty shop that works on mounting/balancing tires in your area. Might cost a little bit more but it might take the edge of your worries.
Now if you are worried about scratches, take your cellphone (that hopefully records in decent quality) and do an entire walk around of the car. Note verbally any pre-existing "defects" such as scratches, chips, dents, etc.
I'm not opposed to the dealership completely since I'll be taking the car in for a fuel gauge issue next week.. and they could possibly taking apart the dash and other parts. But oil change is super simple, and I admit I am extremely lazy.

the tech that replaced my entire dashboard did a pretty good job...but then again he really wanted to order the dashboard..guess he wanted a little project to work on lol and he owns a fr-s too so he can relate and treat my car with care...i'll leech of the dealership while my warranty and 2-year free maintenance is still in effect
