Touchless tire mounting system

Hey guys. Anyone know of a tire place in the Morgantown area that has a "touchless" tire mounting system such as:

I've heard of horror stories of nice rims getting scratched up from the mounting machines that actually grab your rim. The Hofmann in the video above is guaranteed not to damage or scratch a rim. I wonder if any shops around here has them or if I would have to go to somewhere like Pittsburgh.

Check with Aaron at Glotfelty Tire, (MotownG5) ... I think they do, but if not he would know where to go.

Thanks, this site is coming in handy lol.

Ive heard of alot of poeple saying they have gotten wheel damage too. This machine is awesome. I would gladly pay a little more to know my wheels are safe.

That machine is awesome.. but no one in the state has one that I know of. I have two corghi machines which are the step below... but also depends on the operator as well. You can't just clamp a set of nice wheels like you would just any old steel or alum rim

So would you guys be able to do it without screwing up the wheels?

knowing my luck, if i had that done with my wheels and tires....i'd have to avoid an accident and end up getting curb rash lol.

How much for tires mounted and balanced

$12 mount and balance

Southtown, I got 20" fully chromed wheels, they installed my tires without a single scratch inside or outside the wheels.

Alright that makes me feel better. I might have you guys to my TPMS sensors out of my winter tires to put in my summer tires.

I may end up coming in this Wednesday to have it done.

That's were the management area comes in.... means I don't have to bust tires or mech work unless we are extremely short handed lol

You going to be there Wednesday?

Yea, should be. I open and close the place on a reg basis. Just ask for Aaron.

Alright i'm pretty sure I'll get these on wed. If the weather looks like it might take a turn for the worse then I might wait. Might have to make 2 trips as well cause I can't fit 4 rims and 4 tires in my cobalt at once.

Southtown, those are the wheels and tires they mounted for me. They do a great job.

Looks sick. Are they on the car right now?

Yes sir, that pic was taken today.
