MD Tire Shop Recommendations?

Looking for a place to install TPMS sensor and mount wheels. Preferably the Glen Burnie area.

The only MD tire shop I've used is Radial Tire in Silver Spring. They've been BMW club sponsors for decades. http://www.radialtirecompany.com/

I would NOT go to Radial, it is a mad house. I went there and had horrible experience. Some forum members got door dings, scratches ,and Knicks on the wheels . They jam cars in and work in tight spaces. On my car, they plugged the tire and sprayed fix-a-flat that caused a temporary wobble when I hit higher speeds. I took it back had them look at the car. They hand tighten the wheels and test drove the car. The tech came back and said "It's your car. It's not what we did. Your car stalled on me twice. You got major issues" . I asked "did it stall when you came to a complete stop?" . Tech says "Yes" . I replied "It's the ASS, you ASS". The wobble gradually went away ( 20 minutes of driving on the highway) as the fix-a-flat liquid spread evenly across inside the tire.

*WARNING: The exit from the shop has a STEEP driveway, if your car is lowered , you will rip off your front lips unless you cut across parking lot and exit out the entrance.*

So sorry to read about your experience - I hope you let the owners know.
Yes, it's busy, especially on Saturday mornings. They're busy because they're good, like a good restaurant. No issues here in the 30+ years I've used them for tire work on my BMWs.

Same here - no issues in about 30 years and their prices are always very competitive - even more so with the BMWCCA discount. But I would recommend mid-morning on Tuesday ~ Thursday to avoid the crowds.
