Wheel Repair (to buy, live, cost of)

[wellguy]

Good Evening,

With the cost of replacing Vehicle Wheels being so expensive there area Company's that can repair them. I have heard of folks with either scratched or chipped Aluminum / Alloy Wheels and they had them repaired.

Have any of you had any experience with this and if so can you please tell me the names of the places that you used? I am also interested with your satisfaction.

My Son bought some very nice wheels for his 2006 Honda Accord Coupe approx 5 months ago. The other day due to a careless driver he was forced up against a curb which resulted is some scratches. Although they are minor I can see myself as a young man saving and saving to buy wheels and having something like this happen.

It is something with our cars. Others may not notice any damage (scratches, door dings, etc.) but our eyes are drawn right to it.

Thank you

If you know anyone at a car dealership, ask them for a referral - they'll usually know who's good, and who's reasonable - and more importantly, who to avoid!!!

the repair shops at dealerships have their contacts that they use. i don't remember who the company was, but i took my car to the Gunn Acura shop when I jumped a curb and damaged my wheel. whomever they used at the shop did a decent job repairing my rim. 06' 350z, so the rims weren't cheap...
