<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/2728/for_audiworld.jpg"></center><p>I didn't see it until after I left the dealership, so I'm basically SOL on getting them to fix it. I touched it up with wheel paint they sold me...naturally it's the wrong color.

That sucks. Did you report it and what was the outcome?

Service rep said since I drove off it's too late, but he still wants to see it.

He said you're SOL but you should extend yourself so he can jam up the mechanic? Screw him.

Default The dealer should use a wheel doctor to repair curb rash and other mishaps..
Ask them to split the cost if they don't fess up. If the wheel doc is good, the wheel will look new. Figure $75-$100 to fix.

All is well! Dealer agreed to pay for at-home wheel repair service!
