Any shop that has a Hunter Eng touchless tire changer. BTW, NOT one of the ten Discount Tire Stores in the area had one. So I want to the Hunter Engineering Facebook (IM) page and asked if they would send me the names of their local sales rep in the area, that person absolutely knows who has this $40K piece of equipment. They responded back within two days with the name AND his cell phone number. Before I could even call the rep called called me and told me every tire dealer in my area who had this amazing tire system.

As a side note, be careful with Discount tires many of the ones doing the work are very young probably never jacked up a C7 and they use multiple floor jacks to lift the car.....a disaster waiting to happen! Many do not have a proper lift!

The five discount tires in my area don’t have “up to date fancy” tire changing equipt. Except for up to date balances they have two generation old equipt.

I took mine to Discount Tire and they did a very good job. Very careful in not marring the rim. Most shops in smaller towns don't have the new Hunter tire machine that guarantees no damage. The Chevrolet dealer in my home town would not even attempt to deal with the tires on my 2019 Z06. The dealer in a nearby town with a much larger dealership also was not interested in trying to do the tire work. I would think that GM would require a dealership to be able to handle tire work on its flag ship model but it is not the case. Again, Discount tire did a very good job although they did not have a Hunter machine.
