Default Wheel/tuner shops dc-baltimore?

Hey All, I'm looking for a good shop that can do a mount/balance without scratching the hell out of the wheels and paint. Needless to say, I've had a few recent bad experiences. A shop that can do some suspension upgrades down the road is a plus as well!

Anything in the dc, md, va area would be fantastic.

Thanks!

Five,, welcome to Neloc. Most of the members here in the DMV area do alot of their own work on their cars, so as far as shops go for suspension and such, there are plenty of locals who may be able to lend a hand. As far as the wheels are concerned,,whereabouts are you. There are a few places that have been suggested.

I'm in southern MD, but I work in fairfax and spend a decent amount of time downtown.....so anywhere within about 50 miles of DC is fine by me.

Radial Tire is a great place for a great price. I personally went there to have my tires installed on a 19 275/35/19 tire. They didn't scratch it at all, although my wheels have some scratches I didn't notice anything new. These guys work on all sorts of cars, I have seen Lambos, porsche, and ferrari's there.

Trust me this is the place to get wheels mounted

Thanks, I'll look them up!

Any suggestions for a good suspension shop are still appreciated.

Auto Effects in College Park, MD does good work too with mounting and balancing, they aren't afraid of a little stretching either.
