(This is in contrast with reputable shop that always leaves marks somewhere.)
There was very minor scratch "inside" the rim where technician removed oversized factory weight. Not sure if it was at all possible to remove that weight without any damage. One can not see it unless you are looking for it. Outside - absolutely zero scratches.
Ordered online, scheduled appointment. 2 weeks later parked next to tire center, went shopping, came back in 1 hour - car was ready.
To sum up, my biggest "complaint" were ugly green replacement valve steam caps (ordered OEM set for under $2) .
I am definitely coming back to the same Costco location next time I need new tires.
No rotations (staggered), I have roadside assistance, my own patch kit and air compressor.

I went to Costco yet again, this time in Carson City, NV.
(my summer visit was in SFO location)
Needed winter set for my E70 (I had spare factory rims).
I brought my own set TPMS sensors.
No questions asked, less than one hour, zero scratches.
They even marked tires FRONT/REAR with chalk
The same "complaint" as last time - Costco put their green valve caps.
But technician saved silver ones that came with TPMS kit.
Advise - appointment is a must.
Few customers showed up as store opened without one - the wait time was 4+ hours.
BTW, the E70 tire set fits inside the E91:
