Recommended shop for rim repair

My rims got curbed slightly yesterday and it's bothering me. Just a very light scruff mark and at very slow speeds, about 2 inch long. Not very deep.

Anyone can reccommend me a shop that does this which doesnt cost an arm and a leg? Thank you

Unless if your wheels are powder coated and showing a diff colour now, I wouldn't bother. Give it a couple of days for the flakes to come off and it'll look a lot less noticeable. Not really worth spending a hundred dollars (or likely more) to fix up a light scruff, IMO. And chances are, you are likely to curb the rim again in the future.

I curbed my rims late last year but opted to not fix it. Ended up curbing the exact same spot 2 more times throughout this year.

I agree with what xXSupa especially since you said it's shallow and less than 2". If you want to fix it anyways I've heard a lot of satisfied people with Panther Precision in Surrey and also NuBrite.
I hope it works out for you!

Depending on the colour of your wheels, a sharpie will do wonders lol.

I found that black nail polish (for black wheels obviously) is even better

+1 for DIY if you have the patience. One of my summer wheels fell over on its face a couple of yrs back and I repaired it myself. It is not difficult at all, just time consuming.

You can get the sandpaper, bondo (if needed), primer, and clear at CT. The trickiest part is finding either Wurth silver or einszett Silber spray. I found the einszett Silber spray on amazon a while back but not sure if it's still there.

I have heard stories of people using some of the mainstream paints (eg Dupli-Color Silver wheel coating which you can also get @ CT) with good success, but IMHO the Wurth and einszett are the only two I would trust for close to 100% perfect repair for colour coat unless you want to spray the whole wheel.

Union Rim Repair. I got 2 of my 19" bent rims fixed there the other day. Pricing was very reasonable, and they did an excellent job. Their site has a pricing page also, but give them a call. John was the one that helped me. Good luck.

-- EDIT -- just realized you're in BC, lol, nm then.

I used Precision Rim repair in Toronto and they did a pretty good job refinishing and fixing my rim that got curb rashed.
