Hi All, it's been awhile.

Was parking my car earlier and got about 10 inches of rash on my rear wheel. It's not horrid, but it's definately noticible. I'm 2 months from being at the end of my lease (go figure). I've seen some recommendations for Rite-Way in Walnut Creek, so I'm thinking about going to them. Couple of questions:

1. Have any of you used Rite-Way and would you recommend them? Seems to get good reviews, but I'd love to have someone with an infiniti chime in!
2. When your wheel is repaired, does the paint ever come off or will anyone ever be able to tell? I know that paint will never match 100%, but it's in an area where you wouldn't be able to really see it too much (right at the top of the lip).

Thanks!

 

Take it to a shop which specializes in wheel repairs, like all good auto-body repairs you should not be able to tell that it has been repaired.

 

What kind of wheel? If it's stock you could probably find one on ebay or craigslist for cheap.

 

Rite Way is the only place to go. You won't be sorry. I've had a few curb rashes repaired there. The owner goes out of his way to help.

I had a rim bent so bad I couldn't keep air in it and had to leave my car on a Sunday. They don't open until Tuesday. I figured I'd do the usual throw my key under the door envelope thing and left a message on the answering machine. The owner called me back and came down to the shop to put my car in Sunday night. He then worked on it Monday so I could pick it up after work. A++++++ in my book.


Just approach your car from the other side until you get it fixed. 0_0

 

If it was six weeks ago, you could've met up with this mobile Wheel Repair guy (Son Tran) who came up to Fremont from LA and just charged $60 per wheel. He did a good job - even on aftermarket wheels of any color.

For now I guess u have Rite Way. Never tried them though.
Good luck

 

Thanks

I'm going to go with Rite Way.

I also just decided to buy my car off lease!

 

It is that what you called that?

Fine. Come back and harass me.
That was pretty embarrassing when everyone surrounded my car thanks to you.

Hey Andy!! We miss you!

 

Yeah - that'd be great.

Thanks all for your quick responses

Now I get to figure out what after market mods I wanted to make, but didn't because it was a lease!
