The outer facing rim of the wheel never sees any friction at all. This gives me incentive to have my wheels repainted etc. Only problem is it is an hours drive one way to his place but worth it to keep the wheels from being ruined after having spent good money on a repaint job.

I would ask the dealership what type of machine they use to mount tires with and would feel better about having them done there if they had a competent operator using a Corghi machine. I have no idea the quality and operation level of the other two machines you mention. I was told the good Snap On machine runs $25k..!! a lot more than a new Corghi.

Do what I did and buy your own tire machine, only problem is the only person to blame is yourself.
