Rim/Wheel Damage? Solution Available!!! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Okay, now that everything is good, I'll share my story:

I was driving down the street and need to make a right turn. The next thing that happens is that the front-right of the car jumps up and I hear a tremendous thud. I get out to inspect and I find the following :

Just my luck!!!

:upset:

Where the heck was I going to find a place to fix this that wouldn't charge me an arm and a leg? I started the hunt online and found the following place :

I called the Orange County phone number and spoke to Devin. He said he would give my info to his brother. They quoted a really good price (less than $100) so I decided to give them a shot. They said they would come to where I work and that was another plus for me.

Spencer, the tech that came out was really friendly and began to complement my car. He inspected the rim and said that it was something they could do. He began his work around 2:15 pm, didnt remove the tire at all. At 2:50 he calls me and tells me that he is done. I'm thinking, "how the heck is it going to look?" I see this:

WHAT?!?!? It looked like nothing had ever happened! Spencer even cleaned all of my rims as well.

I have to give a BIG THANK YOU to Devin, Spencer, and Dr. Wheel for their great service and excellent pricing

If any of you have any damage to your rims, give them a call, ask for either Devin or Spencer and tell them that Miguel referred you to them.

wow! VERY NICE! I think I got to do that to my mustang rims. Its has lots of messed up areas.... but I think that will cost me LOTS of money to fix it all.... But great to hear that everything is back to normal again

2010CamaroOutlaw · 10-06-2009, 07:45 PM

just had a guy put me into the curb and did something similar to my rim, if his insurance gives me the run around about getting me a new rim i might have to call this guy. Good find!

He did everything on site, but I honestly have no idea what or how he did it. He did mention that he needed to match the paint, he must have spray painted it when he got the right color. Have I mentioned how amazed I am (tribone?)?!?!?!?

lakers171 · 10-07-2009, 10:59 AM

wow i think i will give this guy a call too i have a 1 inch scrape that i want to get cleaned up i know its not big but it bugs me

Iwantone2 · 10-07-2009, 11:06 AM

Believe me, an inch makes a difference

I could have lived with the damage to the rim, but after seeing what they do, I'm glad I got it done. I'm keeping their business card handy in case I decide to hit another curb

The Dark Knight · 10-07-2009, 02:14 PM

Hmm...I got a scrape on the G8 drivers rim...might give their I.E. branch a call...
