Place to carefully mount tires on rims?
I just bought some Bridgestone RE-11s but I'm scared shitless of where to take my MF10s for dismounting and mouting of the tires. Even the shops who have the touchless Hunter tire machines always manage to leave marks on the lip with the pry bar.
Can someone recommend a great tire shop that is careful and has experience with high end aftermarket rims?
My friend recently took his car to F1 Motorsport and they f'd up his Work Emotions up really bad!

Come down to the hood Lee, my guys near Elton's. 
It's Temple City Auto, and they've done our Volks, Enkei's, Works, OEM's, etc. Probably about 10 sets so far of pretty high end fragile rims, and no mistakes

It's the dismounting with the metal bead breaker and pry bars that concerns me the most.
Mounting usually goes pretty smooth as long as they know what they're doing.
Dazz Motorsports use to be the best. They had the no touch machine, pry bars were wrapped, they would cover the face of the rim with a towel just in case, and knew when 2 people were needed for a hard sidewall tire. No shop I've been to since does this.
