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. As for finding leaks I buy bottles of childrens bubble maker, cut it with some water and squirt it around the vale stem, then bead, then other bead, then tread, it will fizz up and you will find you leak. 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.
