My concern is-I don't bring them to a dealer. In addition, there is no reason to damage the wheels if you know what you are doing.
I've worked with motorcycle and automotive dealers representing factories for 30 years and the average technican skill level is under-whelming. Unless you are blessed to have a top notch shop in your area with technicians who have a dedication to quality and have been provided the proper equipment, you have to do it yourself.
I invested in a NoMar tire changer and it works great with my BST carbons.
