Looking for a good place to swap tires (not wheels) in Brampton/Missisauga that is aware of the Model 3 jack points without damaging the car. I like the aftermarket rims I used for my winter tires, and want to use the OEM all season tires on them, so I'm guessing I'll need to get the wheels balanced as well after the tire is swapped.

The jack points arent that complicated. If you want to be careful buy a couple of pucks from crappy tire. I swap tires myself and use the puck as a sandwich between the jack and the jack point on the 3. Bring those with you and they will be able to do the same pretty much anywhere.
As far as places that are good that I've used before (but not on my 3), Total Tire in burlington has been good for me:

I still get Tesla to swap my wheels - I don’t trust myself or anyone else to do it. They do use a mobile service which is cheaper than the $100 they charge in shop and they have recently told me that Costco also does it for cheaper, but I’ll keep paying the extra for Tesla to do it twice a year.
My local CostCo is great - it's $15 per wheel even if they have to mount the tire, inflate etc. Bargain if you ask me and they always seem to do a great job, they use the pucks and I can see right into the workshop from outside. Having said that now I have my tires mounted on the right wheels (just got them to put my factory all seasons onto my Replikas this week), I'll just do the wheel swap myself - way quicker and easier to do it at home with pucks. Saving $60 is a bonus.

How much did they charge? Were they careful?
Looking for a place closer to Toronto that is trustworthy but not crazy expensive.

Is this the place?
Mintz Technical Services
Looking at their website, I would not have guessed that they do wheel/tire services.
They look identical to replikas I got for MS

Similar style but the Replikas are heavy. I think the T-Sportline 18" TST are the lightest turbine style rims at about 21 lbs.
When did changing wheels become such an issue, I understand on early Tesla’s but that’s a totally different reason.
