I personally would never let them repair ANYTHING of mine....

I went there with one of my old RH Crosslines to get a bend repaired. The guy proceeded to tell me that once the rim was repaired, the lip could NOT be clearcoated again because polised metal can't be clearcoated. So I said "but...ummmm...it's clearcoated right now isn't it?" He said "yeah, but once you re-polish it you can never clearcoat it again." So I said F this...I'm gonna send it somewhere else. Turn out that you CAN clearcoast polished metal, it just can't be painted on clearcoat, it has to be POWDERCOATED CLEAR. You'd think that a place that specializes in powdercoating would know this.

They've screwed up jobs for a couple people I know too....

I would send my wheels to SL Metal on Long Island, or Wheel Collision in PA.
