Can anyone recommend a great mobile rim repair guy in the bay area? Redwood City?



I have silver bmw rims and another 22" set polished lip that I need repaired from curb rashes.



I used son tran in socal, but I've moved up to the bay area :(



any help please!!
 
I'm sure there are others out there - just keep in mind that you get what you pay for. IMO $129 is fair. You're talking quality OEM wheels and a 22...you want these things to look right and to balance easily. No offense, but if you were talking about a 14" wheel on a '92 Hyundai, I could see doing some heavy price shopping.



Nonetheless - California Wheels in San Jose might be worth a shot...and might be a better alternative for Denzil as well.

I live near Hayward and Wheels America (fixrim.com) would be convenient for me. I just need the typical curb rashes fixed on all four wheels. What's the general turn-around for something like that?
 
Found a mobile guy! $160.. He was awesome..

What do they do to repair the actual damage before painting? Some kind of filler or is the surface shaved back a bit?



I'm impressed!
 
I'm a little uncomfortable with a cover thrown on the paint while the work is being done. Of course, I understand how the wind can pick up overspray and all...
 
$160 for that wheel, although I think I could have negotiated to $125 next time..



Yes some sort of filler.



As for cover, it's a clean sheet, and I'm glad he did it because of overspray.
 
Maybe Im missing something here, but it would be a heck of a lot easier to remove the wheel and take it where ever the heck you want for him to paint it.
 
"mobile" means i do nothing and he comes to my house, fixes the rim and leaves.



jacking up the car, taking the wheel off, taking it to a rim repair shop, where they have to dismount, fix, remount, balance, and wait usually 2-3 days, pick it up, put it back on my car..



You get the picture. mobile is the way to go..
