Default Wheel Repair Shop

Anyone in the Philly area know of a good wheel repair shop? I picked up another set of wheels that have some rash on them. Ive googled for the last 2 days and havent found much. Just curious where people take their wheels to get fixed.

I would steer clear of any mobile wheel repair franchinse. i had bad experiences with them. there is a place in Bath, PA called the Wheel Collision Center. Supposedly they do good work, but I haven't personally used them.

^^ thats really the only place i found online. My buddy use to work at a bmw dealer and he said they used the mobile wheel place all the time to fix wheels. They are kinda expensive though.

I saw the one in Bath. dont really want to drive that far but if they have good prices then i guess im making the hour and a half trip.

If you wanted to use that place in Bath, call them up. They told me that they do free pickup at business locations (shops, dealers, etc). You just need to find someone to let you put them there for pickup. They were willing to drive to West Chester to get stuff, so I don't know if you would have a problem with their pickup service.

The Lexus dealer that I go to in Chester Springs also said they use a repair guy...but it wasn't someone with mobilewheelrepair.com (seems like the biggest chain...and the place that royally ****ed my wheels up). I can't remember the name exactly but you could call and ask if you really wanted to know.

my buddy use to work at ottos on 202 and now at cavilios auto body and he said he uses the mobile wheel repair all the time. ive seen a set of TL wheels that they redid for his car and they look brand new. i tried contacting them but they either never call back or email me back.

I can certainly vouch for Wheel Collision Center. They do fantastic work, have great service and a fast turnaround time. They are nationally known and certainly worth shipping or dropping off your wheels.
