Last night I was backing out of a parking spot and really did a number on the right front rim - really *&(&( me off - anyway I took it to the dealer this morning for my first oil change and they said they could fix it for about $120...I'll post pics of the repair once I get it back - sorry no pics of the actual damage - couldn't bring myself to re-live my stupid mistake...just thought you folks might want to know that it can be fixed!!

 

yea there are wheel shops that can fix curbing, wonder how they do it, melt aluminum beads on the rash and smoothen it out?

 

Ok, I confess, I did the same thing. I am blocking this hence I did not know what to do about this. Please do share when your wheels are fixed.

Thanks.

 

i scuffed my wheels and had it repaired already. it looks great. can't even tell the difference. definately worth the 100.00 plus i paid. unfortunately i scraped them again but that's a whole other story...

 

I just scraped my front left wheel on a curb avoiding a damn squirrel. Should of ran over it!!!

 

does anyone know of any good wheel repair shop in nor-cal

 

Small rash on the front right. I would also like to know of a good repair shop in nor-cal. Thanks in advance.

 

does the price depend on the amount of damage to the rim? i scuffed my rim lightly hitting a small curb..it's not too deep or noticeable, but it's still bugging me cause i know it's there.

 

ha, i thought i was the only one.

 

yea its going to depend on how much is scratched going to take more labor to get it all out.

 

The scatch I had was about 13-18 inches long and was pretty ugly and it looks like it's going to be about 125 - had the scratch been around the whole wheel he said I would have been looking at 200+. Anybody know how they do this? I'll send some pics once I get it back...

 

i curbed my 350 too....but i cant pony up the money to repair...the bumper scratch i could care less about, its plastic after all and i just put some touch up paint on it.

other day i was on the 405 when this small metal beam was spinning in the air...left side bumper caught it and now i have scratches there...i swear the 405 hates me, but i guess im lucky i wasnt driving faster to catch it on the hood.

 

ok, well I promised pics - but, to be honest it would just look like a new standard is250 wheel - you cannot tell that there was ever any damage!! All in it was $150 - well worth the price to cover up my stupid mistake -- if this has happend to you - fear not, it can be repaired (fairly inexpensively) and you'll never know it was there!

 

How can they do it in less than a day? I thought wheel refinishing involved - among other things - respraying the wheel. How would it dry so fast? Are you sure they didn't give you someone else's repaired wheel, and kept yours to repair for the next customer?

 

That's a good question - I dropped it off @ 8:00 and picked it up at 5:45 - if they did in fact give me a new wheel than I am certianly fine with that - but the economics of doing that wouldn't seem very smart - maybe someone else here can explain the process - cause I sure can't..none the less, I'm one happy customer.
