Default Good Place to mount tires?

I am getting a new set of wheels and was wondering what would be a good place to take them to get the tires mounted and balanced. My main concern is that the place does not scratch or leave any marks on the wheels. Thanks.

I've used W&B in Fairfax City but since you live in EC, I'd recommend going to www.TireRack.com and see which tire guys in your area are their recommended guys....

Wise Automotive in Timonium 410-252-8361. Jeff Wise, the owner, has his own MY00 S2K and he knows the car. They hand torque the wheels (no pneumatic guns) to proper spec and generally take extra care with their work.

I had a good experience at Radial Tire, the only problem I have with them is their hours. They didn't complain about hand torquing like NTB would and have good prices. I will be going back.

I think radial is like 10-15 per tire if you buy the tires from them. Not sure if you don't.
