CBH,.... LOL, yeah that's a pretty good method alright. The nearest place I can get it done (at a tire shop) is over 30 miles away.
Question,... did they pump the fluid into your tires??
I don't have a way of doing that, but I do have a tire machine and I've thought about "breaking" the bead on one side of a mounted tire and just pouring the fluid in, then airing the tire back up and re-seating the bead.
