dismounting tires without touching the lip... is it possible?

so I need to dismount some tires off my RO_JA's but I don't them to scratch the lip. Because the wheels are spotless.
DO I have to go to a special place or any MAVIS, or local tire shop will do it?

Yes, it's possible. Most tire shops have euro style machines that shouldn't touch the lip if opperated correctly.

When they are not, you get long scratches around a one month old rim and a mechanic that swears the scratches were already there.

That's why I make sure the guys at the front counter know there's not a scratch on them BEFORE they take the keys. let them know you'll be watching and holding them accountable for anything that happens to them. they tend to take better care when they know they're being watched.

Some shops will still deny it when they **** one up in front of you. Then you have to get the police involved. I like to going to reputable tire shops that I know will take care of my stuff.
