Make sure they know what they are doing.
And balancing it is different too.
As long as the center of the tire machine does not spin (strip the hub)
you are OK. Most newer tire machines do not use the spin the middle anymore.
For balancing, there is a picture of what not to do on the wire wheel
page of the vic brit catalog.
To dismount it yourself, use a bottle jack on the tire edge and stick
the whole works under you most heavy vehicle (F 350 dually works well ;)
And jack up the car, or should I say, jack DOWN the tire off the rim.
