+1. Leave them on for sure. You will prolly have to remo a caliper or two to get the wheel out though. ***If you do, remember to pump the brakes after you put the wheel back in before riding. If you don't, you won't have any***Mike

Before you do all this, call the shop and see if they quote you different prices for the wheel on the bike and the wheel already off the bike for tire mounting -- most will, but some won't, and if they don't, no sense in you laboring to get it off when they'll charge you to do it anyway.
