Checked with the body shop we have used for years about who they contract out to do their wheel repair (curb rash, peeling etc.) All four of my rims need some help (rears are very minor, fronts are a bit worse). Contacted they guy who does the work from a tow behind trailer over the phone. I looked them up in the Better business bureau and they have great ratings. I was quoted a price of $150 a wheel...with no estimates given. flat rate. I have NO experience with wheel repair rates but this seems a bit high, especially when I dont see how there can be a flat rate when a 14" Honda rim is going to take a bit less time that a 19" rear rim on our vehicles and the fact that the damage is fairly minor. (nothing noticeable to anyone except the obsessive...like us) I kind of assumed that the $ would depend on the size of the job.

Anyone have any experience with shops and their rates? I know there a DIY kits available, but I truly do not have the time with my job and finals @ the university to dedicate to this right now. Any help would be great.

Thanks guys.
