Does it matter where I go to get wheels mounted and changed?

This is my first time owning a nice car and I just got new wheels for it that I need tires mounted on.

On my old car, I just brought it to whatever generic tire store was near me and had them mount it because I didn't care about my wheels getting damaged etc.

But I read online about certain places that use old equipment that still can scratch the edge of the rim in the tire mounting process.

Is there any reputable place I can bring my new wheels to get tires on them? Also, how does the wheel balancing work on nicer wheels? For example, on my old crappy Accord, the wheel weights were just put in with a hammer on the edge of the rim and it was visible. How do they do it on nice wheels, and do I have to request for that or should they know?
