Default Recommendations for wheel mounting/balancing/tpms transfer/lights

Apologize in advance if there is a merged thread on this subject already.

New wheels are on the way home and just moved back to San Jose. Being very expensive wheels, I called everywhere on Yelp and when they were told that these are expensive wheels/if i could stand by to watch them mount it, LITERALLY every shop except one decided that they will not be able to perform the job (i know i am a extra for wanting to watch them like a hawk, but if you do a good job, what is there to worry about?) But also because when I was getting an alignment at a so called infamous tire shop in Southern California, first hand saw them using a METAL crowbar trying to mount a wheel....SMH!

So yes, let me know who you all trust that mount tires and actually use one of those higher end machines. Willing to drive 25 miles around San Jose area.

If you know of tire shops as well, shoot them my way. For some odd reason, eBay prices for brand new Hankook Ventus V12 tires are at least $50 cheaper compared to all these shops in San Jose area (thats including taxes and all these fees) - even cheaper than Hankook themselves!

I am in a similar situation, as I have new wheels on the way and need to find a place I can trust to mount on tires. Anyways I looked Wheeldude as someone recommended and found WG Garage will probably be giving them a call thanks!
