Alloy wheel repair

spav

Like an idiot this morning a kerbed the front alloy of my new car. I blame the leaves hiding the kerb

Can anyone recommend anywhere to get this fixed, and does anyone have a rough idea of how much it'll cost me?

Probably about €100 per wheel.

Where are you located?

Mike.

Live in Swords, work near Phibsboro. €100 isn't bad actually, don't feel quite as much of an idiot now!

Friend hit a pothole and caused same, can you claim from the council (Meath)? - It was a deep pothole a metre from the side of the road, punctured Tyre and buckled the alloy.

Another friend got a 19 inch Merc alloy repaired for 50 quid in some place west of Kilcock (not a garage)

Mmm they pay alright but only after a lot of hassle.

I heard of that guy alright, he is meant to be quite good but not for someone in a rush. As I think its only a weekend thing for him....

Next time you are changing tyres have a look out for brands with rim protection. These will help minimize kerbing.

Its abit of a trek for you but i've heard good reviews about collins engineering in bray,prices from 50 to 100 for repair.

If its just slight kerb rash and no buckle ect try a local bodyshop who would be able to fill and touch it up for you

There is a place out the north of Navan on the Proudstown Rd that does them for 50quid a wheel. Its a good few miles out (over railway crossing and on further) and on the right hand side. I used him to take a buckle out of an alloy for me but his main business is refinishing.

Ive had work done by them twice and cant fault them. Top notch work :)

Thanks all - it's just a scuff rather than a buckle, I'll do a bit of ringing around today.

Hit a kerb yesterday and scuffed/scratched front left of my VW Detroit wheels......my heart just broke when I heard the damage being done!

I got mine fixed by this crowd called <snip>. The bloke came out to my work and did them in a few hours. Look brand new and have saved me a good few bob.

+1 on Collins in Bray - great work.

Near phibsboro there is Campbells garage beside the hump back bridge on Rathoat Rd. between Cabra/Finglas. Never use himn, but I think he's good for scuffs, kerbing etc.

And they're so good that you put an advert up for them on adverts.ie? Banned for spamming.
