I've had good luck there.  They let you watch up close, they used the
appropriate tools, balanced well, no slow leaks (but that might have
been because they were new rims...) and told me to come back in a week
for them to retorque the lugs (apparently necessary with alloy wheels
according to them), but I told 'em I'd just do it myself.  Hmmm, did I?
