Who does a professional job?

I know this is sort of trivial for some, but can you guys suggest a good shop to put on wheels and tires? I want to go to shop who will do a great job, not some cheap tire shop. Thanks!

I am in SF South Bay but I don't mind travelling to get it done right. I am an expat and don't own out here (Yeesh! the crazy prices) so I can't do the job in my apt. complex parking lot. Thanks for all the replies! Keep them coming!

Yep some people just don't care. I grew up extremely poor when I was a kid, so when you got something you learnt to protect it pretty anally!

That trait kinda stuck with me.

I work at america's tire co, and if you have some really nice wheels, with some very low profile tires (probably less than a 40 profile) don't come here. We've screwed up plenty of wheels just scratching the small parts of the lip trying to put those tires on (I've worked at both Walnut Creek and Dublin) Though, for anything 40+ profile they're not that hard to put on, and we don't use clip weights for nice wheels. Though no matter where you go, always request tape weights , because if you have a lip that can use clip weights, then they might use them.
