Correct terminology can go a long way. If you told them the tire is rubbing and they spin the wheel and it's not...problem solved. If you tell them the rim is rubbing on the brake pads, that's different (and sounds like you're just a bit out of true). Looking at the tire when judging whether the rim is true or not can be deceiving as tires aren't perfectly molded.
Bike racks are much better than stuffing your bike into a trunk in any case, and then you wouldn't have to take off your wheel (well, with the right bike rack that is). Like panthers007 says, making sure your wheel is correctly seated in the dropouts is a good thing, too.
