Tires in Cleveland, OH
Can anyone recommend someone to change tires on my Vette near the Cleveland, OH area? My mechanic doesn’t want to do it for fear of scratching up the wheels, and I get it, but I want to avoid a dealership if possible.
Thank you!
Thank you!

I am not in Cleveland so I can't help you there. I have been using Discount Tire for several years. They haven't screwed anything up too badly. They broke a center cap once and didn't tell me. Luckily I caught itbefore I left and showed it to the manager. He bought me a replacement. No damage to any wheels. They know to use jacking pucks.

Would be nice if you said where you had it done. I've had similar problems at other places, but never at Discount.

Unfortunately, it seems like it's a foreign concept for many places to use care and not scratch your wheels.
When I had mine done recently, it felt like I was asking the service guy for a favor to not scratch the wheels. That was at the local Lexus dealer that also occasionally does Porsche wheels for their sister dealership.

I also like to take the loose wheels in for new tires as it eliminates possible damage to your car. It makes their job easier too, so win win.

I also have used Discount and had positive results, but they were aware of my concerns and expectations. The few minor issues I've had were taken care of favorably.

Any time anyone works on your car, there's some possibility of things going badly.
We've used Discount Tires in various places around the country for 20+ years and had good results. They are my "go-to" tire shop.
When I need new TPMS sensors, I buy them at our local Chevy dealer and hand them to the DT guy, they are ok with that.
