There is no safe method on the market to 100% avoid damage when swapping tires. A lot of tires shops are also using the "good old" method, removing the tire by excessive force and trust me, some of those guys who do it usually have an IQ of a Wiener Schnitzel from my experience. Don't expect them to pay attention to avoid damage.
Would be too risky for me...
