Edited 4/9/18: I found that east side, smooth automotive and auto engineering all have touch less machines! Shout out to fayhey tire as well as the owner said they would not damage my rim and would pay for a new one if they did.
Hey all just seeing who you trust with tire installs, just picked up some beautiful BC forged rims in satin black and don't want them all scratched up putting tires on them. Who do you Use ? Thanks

Your best option, really, is to call around and ask if the shop uses touchless machines. You can also try finding shops in your area that specialize in really high end cars and ask if they do this work or have a place that they use.
I recently reached out to Hunter and Coats to see if they could provide me a list of shops in my area that use their touchless machines, they couldn't/wouldn't. |

OP, I've always used FasTrack in Peabody but that hasn't been perfect. Always a best practice to have a non-marring wheel socket and leave it for the installer to use. Example: https://www.amazon.com/Non-Marring-7...01J46VTK0?th=1 Not a fan of the shop but Eastside Motoring in Waltham does do a lot of high-end wheels, so maybe their equipment is half decent. I bought my Advans from Pro-Spec Autosport in Quincy, but have no experience with their mounting equipment. I'd probably try them first, but more of a drive for you. |

Thanks for this i usually don't think about eastside! I would just drop the rims and tires off and come pick them up, I always handle the install with my socket!

Don't kill yourself. I take my wheels to any shop and put two layers of Blue painters tape around all the edges. Has worked flawlessly on over 10 sets of wheels. Like always, make sure the mechanic isn't a damn animal.
