    Hello friends! Any recommendations for a wheel and/or tire shop that installs wheels and tires without damaging them? Im located in Travis AFB, but can definitely drive to find the right place.

    I usually go to AVN in Alameda, they've mounted 315/70/17 tires for me several times without any issues and were able to balance them each and every time. They have very competitive pricing and will price match most cases.

    AR Tire in fremont. They deal with a lot of expensive car wheels and treat mine great too. One of the owners (Rhyss) has a 1st gen taco too.

    The America's Tire/Discount Tire chain is a very, very well run organization akin to Chick Fil A (In more ways than one), in that they strive for exceptional customer service.

    I've been to 3 different ones and never had an issue.

    A shop I cannot recommend or name them rhymes with Twat Customs. They put my stock rims in the boxes the new ones came in, which I thought was nice cuz I wanted to sell them. Got home and realized they scratched the shit out of them, probably by sliding across the floor and with the air ratchet. When I called them they denied everything to the point of the guy saying,"They looked like that when you came in." All I wanted was an apology. Wasn't looking for money. Ended up giving the rims away. F@ck Twat Customs.
