Question Reputable shop to mount tires & transfer TPMS?

Are there any reputable shops besides going to Discount tire since they won't let me ship the rims and tires directly there around Seattle/Eastside that can mount tires on my new rims and transfer the TPMS from my stockies. Id prefer to just ship everything to their shop and get it done. Thanks!

I was very satisfied with discount tires. Too bad about the shipping though.

Wherever you go, remind them to keep the TPMS sensors at the same corner of the car that they came out of. Some shops don't know this.

Tight 'n Tidy in Renton or FTL Performance in Kirkland. The ONLY places to go for any mounting/dismounting/balancing. They have better equipment than the chain stores, and they're careful not to damage your shit. Much cheaper, too.

Thanks all, I'll give Tight 'n Tidy a call since you guys seem to have had good experiences with them. I'm just iffy about shipping rims and tires to a shop I don't know so I'll trust your guys' judgement.

another +1 for TNT. They did work on my SSR's and Jlines without any damage, and swapped my TPMS sensors in

Can't be the easiest thing to do. I figure maybe adoption and sneaking out?

We all look alike, so all we have to do is mingle near the border or tell them your Chinese.

You figure correctly. I've met a few and became good friends with most. The stories that i've heard are amazing to say the least

Dropping mine off tomorrow to get the Blizzaks put on, drop them off anytime during the day , they do the work after 5pm then they call you when they are done and you just pick them up.

Gonna have to put the car on blocks lol.
