Hey guys,
You read the title right! This morning I was coming into work and park at the underground parking at the World Exchange Plaza. I pull in to turn and this couple starts running towards the car while I was turning for no FUCKING reason so I decided to boot it and jerk my wheels to the right and while doing so I curbed me rear passenger side rim. I was SO PISSED OFF. It's not too damaged but I would like to get some work done on it ASAP. Do you guys know of any local shops around Ottawa/Gatineau to do such work? I'll post pics when it gets nicer outside.

Thanks!  Angry

Nice wheels aren't the same without a few scuffs Smiley

Taha had the name of a place for wheel repairs. I have the business card at home, will post later.

Those guys repaired all 4 of my wheels before. They do great work and I definitely recommend them.

The damage was caused by one of Walkley Nissan's dumb ass tech, he laid the rims face down right against the shop floor. Screwy

How much they charge for repair work?

I'm not gonna fork out a bunch of cash just for a 4" lip rash.

Thanks for the write-up man! May take this into consideration if they charge me too much to get it fixed.

My vote is if you REALLY care, get it fixed properly.

That's my plan. I don't want a half ass job on a 400$ rim so I'd rather get it professionaly done.
