Default Because that place looks like the dime-o-dozen that have already fvcked up my wheel.

...and the finish of my wheels are too hard for many places to match.

I dunno about your wheels as I do not own them, but I know a great deal about the finish of the Audi RS wheels and you do have to spend at least $200/per wheel to get it right.

Its like going to Macco VS a reputable body shop.

Default I had luck with them repairing a minor curb rash on an RE, so maybe just stick to small repairs

not the major repair as you had done.

They are still great guys there. And do a good job on the car wash.
