Tire/Wheel or auto shop recommendation in Seattle area please.
I ordered a set of Work wheels back in early November and it is supposed to be delivered sometime in mid December.
I am going to dismount the stock tires from stock wheels and mount those back on the new Work wheels. Anyone know any shop who does this kind of job professionally? A friend of mine owns a Viper and he took his Viper to Discount Tire to do the similar things and they scratched his custom wheels really bad and even ripped side wall of one of his tire. (They ended up paying for everything) I don't want any damages to the wheels since if I order another set, I will have to wait for another 6 weeks. I am not trying to put Discount Tire down but like I said, a friend of mine already had a terrible experience with them. Plus when I went there to possible buy wheels from them (I was also interested in Konig Deception or Enkei RPF1), it seemed like I had more knowledge than any other sales reps over there. So any recommendations would be greatly appreciated on shops with a tire dismount machine with at least a plastic liner or I heard these days there is one with touch-less. |

Toyota/Scion Stealer said they don't like working on any products that are not sold by their shop, but they would do it with an usual stealership price. Plus since these wheels aren't from their stealership, they said if something goes wrong with the installation, they aren't responsible.

Not in Seattle but the only place I would ever go around here... http://www.tightntidyracing.com/ Check them out! Good prices and great service. A majority of Mr. Coleman customers are enthusiasts and he's quite the driver himself. |

I had a similar experience with Discount Tire with a set of Rays where they had dropped the rim on the face and scratched the spokes. They did end up replacing it, but I don't recommend going there. I haven't been to Driven Products, but I have heard good things.

90% Sure he does just straight mounting\balancing, but he mainly does wheel repair... so if anything were to go wrong he'd fix it anyways... Great people and great shop right off of Leary way in Fremont\Ballard. |
