So far they have been the cheapest and will come pick up and drop off. I'll let you know how it goes if I use them.
eh, more research?. it was taken off my car, and straightened the same day, dont know what they do now but i've used them and the wheel was balanced perfectly, so what else can i say. trust is a subjective thing. im anal about my car, if my wheel is balanced perfectly and looks perfect, i dont care how it's done. im not advocating or advertising a "everyone use mobile alloy repair" i just simply stated i, a LONG time member here, have had success in the past. I have been or tried a lot of others shops as well, for instance-Al's. they also do flawless work.

I tried them out before in early 2011, they were horrible. The guy would always keep bumping my appointment that he would write in his book. Finally once he was free to work on my car/wheels... he put scratches on the face when he fixed the bends on the inner wheel.

The best place to go to is: http://www.wheelcollision.com/
You don't even need to take your car to them, you can just dismount your tire and ship your rims to them for repair OR ask your local tire shop if they have pick ups/drop offs from Wheel Collusion Center.

I had a chipped wheel on a pothole in NY when I first arrived to the east coast in 2008, this was on my old school 17" Sterns. They fixed it and re-finished it perfectly! But I would strongly avoid "Auto collision experts" on Magnolia Ave in Elizabeth (Been there, done that, never again).

Calling these companies to get quotes is usually fairly logical....we can't give you pricing on someone else's work....

and google his business name which I provided, that should tell you what you need to know.

IMO your better off buying a new rim instead of fixng it. I have bent rims and had them repaired and they never last long after. Its like bending a hanger. The hanger will always be weak in that spot. Same for rims, it bends from a pothole and someone bends it back now you have a weak spot in the rim. Mostly likely your next bend will be in the same spot.
