Hi,
I have a 2011 2LT RS V6 CGM. I had a slow leak in my front tire so I took it to the dealership. I had a nail in my tire. Well, they gashed the rim in the process of repairing the tire. They have been nice about the whole thing. This was my very first trip to the dealership for anything. I really did not want to go, but, kinda had to because there wasn't going to be any air in my tire. I have the tire package on my car. Anyway, they sent the rim away to be repaired. It took over a week. I picked my Camaro up today. I am not entirely happy with the repair. I can't imagine a rim repair place doing a better job on a rim repair, but it has dimples in the surface now. The rim has, like, dimples in the surface. My service writer told me to call her if I wasn't happy with it. I will be calling her tomorrow. I would like to know what ya'll -- sorry for the ya'll -- think. This forum is amazing. I've had my Camaro four months. This is my second Camaro -- first one 83' Charcoal Grey V8. I don't believe these dimples in the rim will show up in a photograph to post on here. Would you request a new rim? The dealership wanted to try the repair first. This is my first post. Thank you.
