Place to get tires mounted

I know you want a certain type of machine when getting your tires mounted and someone thats pretty good. I was wondering what yalls recomendations are? The wheels are 20x10.5 and 20x12 with 285/30/20 and 325/25/20 tires, so i hear the rear ones will be tricky.

i had my rear tires mounted at a local shop.......they used rags and pads trying "hard" not to scratch the rims........but they damaged both of them! not a big scratch, but a scratch none the less....and all the way thru the clear and paint coat.........i paid $50 a rim to get it fixed....the shop wasnt going to pay and im not in the mood to go to court for $100.......so next time i will have the shop state IN WRITING they will not damage the rims or they will pay for repairs..........of course i wont go back to this shop

Shooter, was it done at West Houston Infiniti? West Houston is makes sure they do not damage my new sedan due to my frustration with my old '03 sedan.
