My 2 and a half cents. . .

Best and cheapest don't belong in the same sentence. . .

Best - you pay for it

Cheapest - you get what you pay for. . .

Well if you believe that price and service are positively correlated then we can also say that the dealership provides the best service because they charge the most for their parts/labour? I doubt it...(which is why we have terms like stealership). Perhaps I should rephrase what I said... I'm simply looking for a reliable shop that can do a decent job without costing a fortune

Well as with anything there are exceptions, but with the stealership you do get the best at the price you pay. OEM parts, Certifed techs that only work with that make - I would call that the best but worst price

Good places to check would be wheel repair guys/shops, businesses who specialize in that field would yield the best results. Just use Yellowpages or Google in your local area, your best choice would be a shop with competitive prices and time permitting, I'd say go down to the shop and take a look first hand at their work rather than rely on word of mouth.
