Well I was not paying attention to the road in front of my this morning and kissed a curb with my front wheel and put a nice scratch about 1/2 around my rim. :mad:

I have contacted 2 companies (got the number for another but they are not open yet) and gotten quotes and was wondering if anyone on here knows of companies in the OC area that can fix the rim. Mobile shops are a plus.

Velvet Touch: Mobile, $125
Wheel Revivers: Mobile, $175
Terry Wheel: Not Mobile, $130

Thanks.

How is Phil doing? We need to do another off road trip. I talked to my Jeep buddy yesterday. How about sometime towards the end of October?

Phil is doing good. We just got the 383 done in his Jimmy again. Turned out to be a bad oil pump that was causing the engine knock.

By Jeep buddy do you mean Jeff? I'm up for a run just let me know when you want to do it.

Alot of these wheel repair companies pick them up, and take them to Chuck at ABC welding. He fixes them, and they finish them off and add his charge.
Call Chuck at ABC Welding, 714-635-1575. Tell him Big Bird sent you. He is the guy repairing the Snake blower at this time.

Trying to get a feel for people who are on here who might need a rim or 2 cleaned up. The more rims I have the cheaper it will be. Hit me up if I can help get yours fixed.

Really? More rims is just more work, not sure where the economy of scale is? Did they quote you down for multiple units?

BTW, I met Chuck at ABC welding. bird doesn't make shit up and this guy seems like the real deal so at least keep it in mind.

They did not quote me cheaper but they are a mobile company and if they take the time to drive to you the more rims they do the more they make even if they do give a discount. Might be more work but they are not driving to multiple places to get the same number of rims fixed then there is less down time for them. Even if they will not give a discount I thought I would see if anyone else needed a rim fixed.
