Almost any tire shop today will have the modern equipment to mount and dismount alloy wheels without marring them. A mom-and-pop garage with old equipment designed for steel wheels might be a problem. It is the care taken by the operator that makes the difference, so let the shop know you are concerned, but the phone dials are not as highly prized or as vulnerable as a perfectly restored, anodized Fuchs to begin with, so don't worry too much.
