I have some VERY minor nicks on the INSIDE of my wheels from the mounting process. There is no reason that the wheel should be scratched while mounting a tire. My friend is a BMW tech and I watch him every time he uses the machine. It only comes in contact with the inside of the rim (the part you don't see), and even then, while there is contact it is minimal. No reason to ruin the face of a rim to mount and dismount a tire. Tell the shop you want a refund for the service and for the rim. Sears is absolute garbage. I used them once to mount some tires, and they mounted the clearly labeled directional tires backwards, and unevenly filled the tires (a range from 25 to 40 PSI...). Fuck sears. Ever since Kmart bought them, all 3 locations near me have been nothing but garbage.
