Exclamation North Houston Tire Mounting??

Can anyone recommend a place to bring a wheel off my C6, to have a new tire mounted. I am trying to find a place that will take care, and not chip/scratch my wheel. In the past, this has been a tough find for me. Thanks for any info.

man, ive heard horror stories about them....many people are saying they leave with 2 of 4 wheels all torn up around the lip. They do offer to refinish/repaint their damage, but not replace....hmm...do you have a certain one you have been to and had a good experience with...thanks/

Not everyone knows what they are doing at those shops. Its always good to find someone that knows somebody, or has gone to a place before. I have had multiple friends show up with their car, get new rubber, come back to pick it up and find the wheels all torn up. Like they used a prybar to get the tire off.

Usually the places that have high turnover are worst about this, so its always good to find a nice high quality wheel shop that does good work and takes their time.

What better place to ask advice, then on this board?

btw...thanks for the village auto note..
