Well, I don't run a tire shop but did a lot of tires when I worked in an auto shop. If you have aluminum rims they corrode and when you pop the tire off you will see white powdery substance that is oxidated aluminum off the rim, Clean the rim with a wire wheel,slap on some bead seal and you should be good to go.

I have my own tire machine and do my own tires, I will tell you aluminum needs cleaning and bead seal about every two to three years. For bead lube I use Alberto V05, that's right, a hair care product..lubes the tire well and helps to slip them onto the rim..my shop Motto is..Alberto V05 , when you got to get your rubber on in a hurry !
