Need a quote on wheel repair please.

So one of the grease monkeys at the tire shop jacked up my wheel, of course
Even though I checked the wheels prior to driving off he situated the wheel so the damage was facing down, hidden, Sneaky little b!tch.
Can anyone give me a ballpark price on what it would take to fix this?
Both marks dug into the metal.
I'm going back today and want to get some reimbursment from the tire shop for repairs.
thnx!

Im guessing 75-100 and thats just because most shops are going to charge you an hour. Just needs to be filled in or sanded and then touch up paint.

True Wheel in North Hollywood charges me $100 per wheel but I have them completely polished. I believe it depends on the damage or how much time they need to spend to make it perfect...1-800-FIXARIM They also dismount/mount your tire so that's a plus!

Thanks for the info guys.
I've been getting quotes from $125-175.
The tire shop offered to get it fixed by CJ wheel in LA. I guess they do all their wheel repair.
I just leave the wheel with them and CJ's picks it up, this will be easier than me taking a half day off getting it fixed.

Sounds like the shop is dealing directly with the repair place, and eating the cost.

Nah I wish, it's the Tag Professional 200 meter.
I'd love to get one of the chrono Auaracers though.

This...^...is exactly why we have a "Recommended Shop" section, you wouldn't recommend a shop that didn't do a perfect job...right? TrueWheel is on that list...
