Does your tire dealer demand that you bring in just the tires/wheels? My local tire jockey certainly didn't. He did the work outside, on the concrete apron outside one of the bays. They have plenty of floor jacks to put under the frame (NOT THE AXLE!) and get it off the ground, and air wrenches to remove and replace the wheels quickly.

Once they initially get it off the ground, all you have to do is pop the latches to allow the shells to rise a couple inches, and remove the wheel well covers (a square drive screwdriver works best). But you'll do this whether you do the job at home or let him do it.
