Default Wheel Repair -

Recommended Wheel Repair Shops in NJ or even in NYC (manhattan) - OEM Lexus wheel

Hi

I recently lent my brother my car - and he dented my rim through a pot hole.

Any one know where I can repair it around Northern/Central Jersey (Maybe edison area, willing to go further north if needed). Even in NYC (manhattan) if it's a good place at good prices.

How much would you say that something like this costs to repair?

I have a similar bend on my rim. I went to my body shop and another local wheel shop in Bergen. They quoted me 150-200.

you should be able to get that fixed for $50-$100 at a rim shop or a body sending it out.

@jzlexus1, I used the people at this website, http://www.nyrimfix.com/. They're located in Valley Stream, N.Y. They do free pick up and drop off service and have turn around service of about 24 hours. I fixed two of my rims at $109 each. They're straight cash no credit, and they did a great job. I got my rims back as if they were brand new. The best part is, they come to you. I would email them that photo and let them know where you are and they'll quote accordingly.

Hope this helps bro. Those rims are hella nice.

I've heard that smaller bends like that are harder to repair compared to bigger ones. That is why it cost more.

that's a worst dent considering the fact that is the front or face of the wheel.usually it happen on the inner part of the rim where there is not much of support.good luck or ou might consider looking for used rim at ebay if they will charge you more than what you expect.
