Competent place on the eastside (Bellevue area) to have tire work done?
One of my tires (passenger side rear) has a very slow leak. Since I have Fikse wheels, I'm definitely not wanting to risk unnecessary damage to them by bringing the bare wheel/tire to any old discount tire place and risk a heart attack if they scratch the wheel up. Could anyone recommend a shop on the east side that could help me out with this problem? Thanks in advance.

I use Tight n Tidy racing. They operate out of their garage, but they change so many tires its not even funny. They've done countless tire replacements for the import community.

Thanks guys. Any idea if ftlperformance does tire repair though? I didn't see that listed on their master price list. I did notice that tightntidy did offer limited repair services.

I found out that the local lotus dealer uses discounttire in Bellevue on BelRed.
I took my car there for a slow leak (screw in tire). I was sufficiently impressed with their quality and care they took with my car (special jack points, proper torquing of the lugnuts) that I went back when I needed tires. Note my wheels are rather rare (limited edition type 72D wheels, irreplaceable) so I felt rather concerned, but as it turned out they were very professional.
The plug service was free.

All right, I wouldn't have guessed that Discount Tire would have been held in such high regard, but the location is perfect for me to bring the wheel/tire into work and swing by there...so I'll be giving them a shot. Thanks again for all the suggestions, except for the one from H20SKIER of course.
