If I hire someone to change tires or do any driving work like brakes or bearings, I remove the hubcaps myself before taking the car in for service. I've seen mechanics take off rare hubcaps that are in excellent condition, lay them face down on rough concrete to use as a catch when removing lug nuts. Now if they could develop the necessary tool to remove the driver's seat, driver's door and steering wheel before leaving my classic in the gorilla's care, I would buy it.
