Houston Tire Installation

Houston Tire Installation
Its finally time that I have to break down and buy new tires from my 2012. I actually made it to 18,000 miles. I have heard stories of 'big chain tire stores' damaging wheels. Are there suggestions where to go in Houston?
Also, I have seen the black paint pealed off of a Centennial Edition wheel when the tape weight was removed. Are there any suggestions how to remove the tape weights before taking it to a dealer? I'm thinking of taking all 4 wheels off and taking to the tire installer. (Yes, I'm **** who touches the car).
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I've heard/read good things about Discount Tire, but "Gering" (Pete) may know of some other places. I might also do a search in regional section which includes Texas.

To add here, understand that someone's arm was caught under the car/in the lift, so it was the act of the other employees lifting the car to frees the mans arm that caused the questionable damage. I say questionable, since until the repair shop gets the paint off the car to look for older repairs that may not have been correctly, it's still up in the air to the extent of damage to the car by lifting it by the fender to free the mans arm.
The positive that I can say for Sam's, Goodyear, or other larger chain type shops, if they damage a car, then will stand behind fixing it. Have such happen with a small independent shop (read even damaging just a rim) and some times is a loosing battle to get them to correct the problem.

Discount Tire is my tire store. Great service and they will price match even online store. In addition they have always stood behind their work. Only issues I have had was they misplaced the wheel lock key on two different cars and they took care of the issue and replaced the wheel locks at no cost.
And you cant beat the free replacement certificates option they offer. It is about $50 per tire on the C6 but if they can't fix the tire your get a new one free and they have locations most everywhere which is a key factor to me.
