I don't know if one machine is better than another. I would make sure they have the plastic protectors for their tools, and are using it.

Probably, it will get down to the tech doing the job and how careful he will be. Maybe you could "tip" the tech ahead of time and get his attenttion?

I had some 17x11 rims that I needed mounted so I took them to the shop I work at. We have a Coats 9042E machine. It is a nice machine with all the plastic protectors and the helper arms...everything you could need. I had three guys try to mount the tires and I finally aborted the mission b/c I was scared of them messing it up. I took the wheels to a local Wheel/Tire only shop and found out that they have the exact same machine!! Took the guy about a minute a wheel to mount the tire. It all comes down to who has the skill!!!!

ahhh them new machines make it look real easy though. We bought a new one cause we get alot of 22's and such. Never would have tried that on the older ones. Everything is phenolic on our new machine.

corghi make a nice machine that i used to own, look nothing like a normal machine and dont use tire levers. its called an artiglio master off memory, im in new zealand though so thats no help to you, but maybe someone in your area has one

you use joysticks to mount and dismount

The recommendation that I received when I asked this same question to get my HRE's balanced was to find someone with a Hunter machine with road force balancing.
