Touchless Tire Mounting in CT
 
Like the title says. Anyone know of shop that has the machine to do it?

"Touchless" is not exactly "touchless". It just takes experience and attention to detail to not scratch a wheel while mounting tires. One can just as easily scratch a wheel with one of those fancy touchless machines as a conventional tire machine.

Yeah I know not "touchless", seen it in action. But way safer than conventional mounting.

Check with P1 Motorcars in Stamford CT. The owner Tommy is very knowledgeable and has dealt with high end cars all his life. He recently started his own shop after working with Miller Ferrari and Mclaren. Go by and check them out. He's been very tempted to get a BRZ to work on, so he will have interest in working on the car.

Vals Tire and Auto in Danbury, CT on Federal Road is the hidden Gem...

They were able to dismount my wheels that had stretched tires without touching them. They have the $15k mounting machine. They also do all of the Danbury dealerships on federal road (Honda, Chevy, Mazda, Ford, Subaru). They don't like to touch stretched tires if they don't have to but will make an exception...not sure what you're planning to do, but call them before hand.

Address: 68 Federal Rd, Danbury, CT 06810
Phone:(203) 830-4900
