Damn Potholes
So I was driving the other night when I hit a really deep pothole. Didn't even see it. It was dark and it's under a bridge. It's on Royal York Rd. in the northbound lanes right under the Dundas St West bridge. It made for quite a jolt when I hit it. They are just my winter wheels so I'm debating between buying a refurbished wheel for about $250.00 or getting it straightened for about $100.00. Anybody have any good feedback with places fixing bends in the GTA? The ones I found so far are Union Rim Repair, Curbed.ca, and Wheeltek. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

take a picture of the pothole, your damanged rims, measure it, and write to the MTO.. or local politician. If you have enough evidence, they will pay for the damanges.

Way ahead of you on the reporting. Did that already. Took pictures of the pothole and everything. Heard it can take years to get your money back though.
Anyone have a single front 189 wheel they want to sell?

I hit a pothole this afternoon on the way home from work. called 3-1-1 and complained and was told it would be repaired soon.
I'm curious to see what "soon" means to the city of Calgary roads department. :-) |

I hit a pothole on the weekend, destroyed my rear right tire. I've put a claim into the city with photos and the invoices from BMW Toronto and Enterprise. I would like to get my $304 bucks back, but i'm not holding my breath. If they deny it, and depending on how busy i am with stuff and if i'm really looking for a project i may take the city to small claims.
But we'll see |

Just to update I ended up going to Union Rim Repair and they did a fantastic job taking the bend out. $105 total.

I only ever deal with Trevor at Alloy Rim 416.888.7467 (they even pick and & deliver as part of their service).
Thse guys are real pros. Good luck!

Just to update I received a cheque in the mail from their insurance company. Now that was pretty painless and easy.
