They do work with hawthorne tire a few buildings away. I took my wheels (off the car) to them and they dismounted the tires, stored them and took the rims to the powdercoat company. Once powdercoated (1 week) they took them back to hawthorne who remounted and balanced all 4.

The remount and balancing cost 120$ for all 4. Not bad.

Highly recommend both places. The owner at hawthorne was a good guy and even asked if i wanted black wheel weights instead of silver after one wheel had silver weights on them. They have good reviews on yelp as well.
Thanks for the extra info, this is good to know. I've been considering getting it done.
