Tyre change. Who do you trust to deal with centre locks correctly? (2016 MY 991 GTS)

I’m thinking of changing the tyres from PZero to Michelin PS4s but am concerned about who might be best placed to deal with the centre lock procedure correctly, other than OPC’s. Any advice based on actual experience would be welcome. Thanks. Based in Central Scotland.??

The correct procedure can be found in Tricks and Tips- Members Only section of this forum here https://www.porscheclubgb.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=1004120#1004120

If you don't wish to DIY, then you'll need to find someone able to impart 600nm of torque to the wheels bolts -or you could just buy the tyres online and have your PC fit them!

Thanks Clive. I understand what the procedure is as I’ve watched a few videos. DIY is not an option. I was seeking feedback from members who have used anyone other than an OPC to change tyres and what their experience of this was, good or bad. ??
 
D&G Porsche, North Shields sourced and fitted my 'dot' PS4s perfectly. I'm happy for them to remove the centrelocks but in this instance I did it myself (as mentioned, it's not such a gig deal).
 
Thanks but d&g is not very convenient for me as I live in central Scotland. DIY is not an option as I don’t have the facilities or equipment. Plus, I’ve watched the videos and it doesn’t look straightforward at all. I’ve had a couple of local independent fitters recommended so, come the time, I’ll get quotes from them and a couple of OPC’s. However, given the fact that Michelin PS4S (NO) tyres seem to be almost impossible to source, the fitting of them appears to be the least of my worries?????
