As mentioned before, the first shop wants me to leave the van, I don't see the need and feel they are just trying to drive up the bill ( one listee told me he had this done and expect to pay 15-20 bucks a rim-well I am in the Washington DC area so I imagine double or even triple that amount-God I hate this area!) Two others have told me they "don't have the equipment". From what I read on this I assumed it was going to be no big deal, now I am ready to give up! Jeff
