aluminum wheel repair
 
looking for a place that can repair aluminum wheels, got one with a little curb rash on it.

Will, there is a place in PA that advertises in the back of Motor Trend and the like. They say they can fix anything. Ex or the VW?

check a local high end car dealer will, they usual have someone like rim doctor that they use...Rob

If you've got a $1500+ rim, these guys can bail you out. For others, the expense can be as much as a new rim.

i figured as much, just wanted to check.
there might be someone local that can do it, just not sure how well, really did not want it look like crap.

Will, as I said, check with a high end dealer, or call your ford dealer and ask them who they use. I have seen it done by a professional in a couple hours and he charged about a 100 bucks....

For $180, it wouldn't be worth the time looking them up and calling.

Last one I had done had a minor bend in the bead and a scuff- cost $600. New wheel was $2200 so it was well worth it.

There is a franchise around called Wheel Fix It. Not sure if in you area but worth a try. Typical repair anywhere from $75 to $125.

Was going to say check with a used car dealer that does higher end stuff. Had a guy with a wheel fix, paintless dent removal, stone chip touch up and even re-die of leather interiors. This guy was mobile and most dealers have a hook up for someone like described! :drink:
