    Default Wheel repair

    Managed to get a small scuff on my wheel, not enough to affect the tire or the bead, but enough to annoy me.

    Where is everyone going to get surface defects fixed these days?

    Bob does this now. I haven't used him, but I'm sure he'll get the job done.

    I have used Alloy Wheel Repair in the past, they were good.

    Elite wheel... Well, either they cracked my rim, or the dealership that used them did. The surface repair looked good though.

    They're certainly big, but I don't know if they are the BEST I've tasted.

    Thanks @tirebob ! Will drop by for sure (probably Wednesday), had a great experience when I got the last set of tires for the truck.

    Andre at Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists / PJ Wheels Repair is another local option. I've gone a few times over the last couple of years to get wheels repaired and have always been happy with his work.

    Never needed this until I bought a car with curb rash on wheels (not major but still, not pretty). How much do they typically charge for each wheel?

    Not really any such thing as a "typical" repair cost, I've seen as little as $80 right up to $300+ for cleaning up the rash and a full powdercoat when a wheel needs a lot of new material welded in

    Very handy here as I need to finally get my summer wheels repaired before my swap.

    I've used Andre as well. Wheels didn't need to be straightened but they had curb rash and repowdered clear over gun metal metallic. This was four years ago and aside from my wife curbing them again they look great.

    I had a crack in a rim recently repaired by Urban X. Along with a small Beyond discount, I was very happy with the service.

    Can't speak to touch-ups like you require, but if I needed such I would go back.

    Does anyone know if Andre is still doing this? I havent used him in about 10 years and when I hit his website it gives me a 404.

    Yep, I had Andre fix up a wheel for me last year. I'll DM you the contact info that I have.

    Andre?



    I was so hung over when I saw L7 that I threw up in a port -o-potty... They were still awesome though.
