Good shop to get new wheels/tires mounted in the GTA area?
I recently purchased a new set of 18" rims and new tires to go along with them for my C4. I coughed up a fairly sizeable amount of money for these things and needless to say, I'm looking for a reputable shop with experience and up-to-date equipment to have my tires mounted.
I'd hate to drop these off at just any shop and run the risk of having some yahoo bend/dent/scratch my wheels during the mounting process 'cause they don't know what they're doing or have old, out-dated equipment. Been there, done that and got the T-shirt and would really rather not go through it again...
I figured with all the C5/C6's here in the GTA area with expensive aftermarket wheels on their cars, hopefully someone here can suggest a place they've had a good experience with in the past.
Thanks again.

UPDATE:
There were a few unwanted hiccups along the way, but the wheels/tires were finally mounted and put on the car.

I have taken my stuff - ask around, I've done it a few times - to GTA Tire and Wheel Zone on Matheson in Mississauga.
They have never put a mark on any wheel they have worked on for me.
Google them - they have a website - for address.

Carcones in Aurora. They are a wheel refinishing place. They often have to mount tires on freshly powdercoated rims and manage now to leave a mark. The one time they knicked one of my wheels they refinished it no questions asked. I take all my wheels & tires there. The only downside is you have to bring them in loose. They're not equipped to take them off your car.

Xtreme Tire Garage in Mississauga @ Dixie Rd/ Lakeshore area. HUGE clean shop with all the latest equipment, def'ly not your typical small grungy out of date tire shop. Ask for Mike and yes, you can watch too. Tell him Lello recommended it.
Good luck!
