I was told by my dealer that their contractor normally charged around $150 to fix curbed wheels. I had the road hazard protection, so I just went to the dealer every time.

I have my tire and wheel protection from a Toyota dealer and just scheduled a service for tomorrow regarding a couple of curb rashes. On top of this, I put front tires losing air pressure. Will comment here on how they will handle my request.

Thanks for the shout out. I fixed 3 out of 4 wheels on my lease and returned it and Lexus didn't bill me a dime. Good investment if you ask me.
