Wheel Repairs

[minux]

Anyone know of any decent wheel repairers West of Melbourne or in Geelong?

I had my wheel alignment done where i shouldn't have, they scratched **** out of my wheels when removing wheel nuts. They flat out say it wasn't them...photo's say otherwise. I plan on getting repairs done then chasing them for the payment of it.

Any help appreciated, thanks.

I will, i always take images of my car on a disposable before taking my car to a new place. They will have to pay...eventually

Take them to Wheels in howitt st. Ballarat.
They did the old girls B45 simmons and they come back like new, reasonable price too.

How bad is it?? How many wheel were damaged?

Its pretty low of them to do this to a customer's car and then saying it ain't their fault.

I remember dad bringing his old car (VX Calais) to do the balance and alignment and they scratched his front wheels and took responsibility for it.

No argument there and dad was happy.

Will do, might drop in when we visit the Mrs old girl next week. Although she is saying she knows guys who work there, might get a discount

All 4 wheels were damaged, the rim which is now cracked, has massive gutter rash. I will post up some pics of it tomorrow morning.

that totally sucks. i am sorry to hear it happened to you.

technically you're not supposed to repair aluminium rims though, other than cosmetic repairs, in victoria. chase them for new ones.
