How do you stop tire mounting damage?

Today, I went to Discount Tire to get new front tires on my 2001 Boxster. They managed to put circular scratches all the way around the rim of one painted alloy wheel (17inch). Had to limp home on the spare wheel and get another car while I wait for them to get the wheel refinished.

I had the same thing happen with a rear wheel a few years ago at NTB when I replaced the rear tires.

How do you guys prevent this from happening? Do you have a personal "tire guy" who knows what he’s doing?
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks.
