Dismount the tire, clean (sand VERY lightly), remount. A very light saning to clean the mounting surface shouldn't cause any problems. Most tire places should only charge about 5 bucks each for mount/dismount

I've had good results in the past by having the tire shop paint the rim (only the sealing surface; it doesn't show).
Yeah, if the tire doesn't come back to you with a chalk mark on the sidewall showing where the valve was, you might want to ask them if they're re-mounting it properly.

I have to run a leaky tire over to the local place in a week or so; I'll ask around when I get there.
