Good wheel + tire shop near Exton

I am looking to have a set of tires taken off an expensive set of 19" wheels, so that I can sell the wheels. I will probably go to R/T Tuning to have new tires mounted on my new wheels, but I don't want to drive all the way to Lansdale just to have the old tires taken off the old set.

Anyone have recommendations for a good shop in the Exton area that can carefully take tires off of 19" wheels without scuffing up the wheels?

Not really, my car is a 350z and I can fit maybe two tires (with or without wheels in them). So I have the four wheels+tires currently on the car, which I will remove at home and replace with the stock wheels+tires. Then I want to borrow my girlfriend's hatchback to take just the aftermarket wheels+tires to a nearby shop (i.e. not trying to drive to Lansdale for this) and have the tires removed. Plan is to leave the Z on the stockers over the winter, then have new tires put on my new wheels in the spring. At that point, I will borrow my girlfriend's car and take the new wheels to R/T to have the tires mounted and balanced, then bring them home and put them on the car.

My thought is that a shop should be able to dismount a tire much more easily than mount a tire. Am I wrong there? Is it just as risky as far as wheel damage is concerned?
