Anyone know of a local shop/chain that can do Tire heat Cycling

Hey guys so i bough some brand new tires for my fd i was wondering if u might know of a shop / chain that does heat cycling i know tire rack / discount tires does it but only from the warehouse. They dont have any local shop list or names of people that can do it. I really wana get this done because i think if i try to do it myself im gona **** it up. 800$ tires + me= trash.

Ive tried calling all the big chain companys like pep boys and american tire and places like that but i always get the same answer "Heat cycling, whats that?".

Need some help i was thinking that maybe some shops around race tracks might be able to do it. I made a thread in local but 3 weeks and still not 1 answer. Hoping i might find one here im willing to drive far if someone knows a place that can do it for sure.

Most people put 5-8 extra PSI in the tires, slap them on a car and run them on the highway for about 20-25 minutes, then take them off or put the car on jack stands for them to cool. That's usually enough for the initial heat cycle.
