Rim Damage Help

S4CH · 08-13-2009, 11:19 AM

Does anyone have an idea of what something like this would cost to repair? How do they repair something like this? The parking garage I use scratched the rim, and I am wondering how much to claim from them. If its not repairable, should I replace the rim altogether? Thanks in advance.

The parking garage or the parking attendant?

Looks like a simple repair. There is a DIY here somewhere or you can find a rim repair place - it'll probably cost $175 or thereabouts...

you can have it repair. I wish you are in LA. There is a guy "SOn Tran". He does marvelous job repairing rims.

I would ask some local dealers. I know my dealership in NJ (flemington) has a rim guy that is there twice a week and I think he charges $75 a wheel for damage like that. At least that's what I was quoted and your damage looks about the same.
