I've taken mine to the one near mukilteo speedway and highway 99. I usually repair the holes myself though, when it's near the sidewall.

the one time I went there (muk speedway / 99) I asked if they could torque down my wheel spacers for me, as I did it by hand and had no idea what ft/lbs I was able to get it to. bastards were terribly afraid of liability and wheel spacers in general. I was pretty pissed at them at the time but I understand why. I told them I would write a waiver, or hell, if they could just let me use their tools so I know the ***** torqued down properly.. but no dice. they were very stand offish and treated me like I needed to get the **** out of there, like I was a criminal for using wheel spacers, lol. weren't very polite about it. yeah yeah - buy your own torque wrench, I didn't want to do it for a single job at the time. : )

I don't have spacers anymore but from the way I was treated there the first time, on a customer service stand point, I wouldn't go back.

I've had much better luck with the one further down evergreen in Everett. never any marks on any of my wheels or my girls wheels, and their customer service is great, they've gone out of their way to suggest other places when they weren't able to do x/y task.

went to discount tire in everett.

they are awsome!

as soon as i went in, they asked if that was my Z! i said yes.. they said they would get maneger. (vince)

he said he also use to have a Z with VOLK rims and so on.

he knew exactly what to do, took extra car by even putting towls over 4 contact points on the rim mounting machine.

two thumbs up!
