Default Wheel repair question.

So my girlfriend bent a wheel on her A4 last night. I searched around and it looks like you guys recommend Ye Old Wheel shop. My question is how fast will they be able to fix the wheel. Will I be able to wait for it while they fix it or will they need it for a few days. My GF doesn’t have another car she can drive around and I don’t really want her to drive around on the spare to work and back everyday.

The wheel isn’t too bad. You can hardly see that it’s bent but you can feel it a little when you drive around so I should prob get it taken care of.

Also how much should it cost to get it fixed.

Thanks

My friend owns YOWS. They are ridiculously busy pretty much year round, so turnaround on a rim repair is usually 3-4 weeks. They can usually let you borrow a loaner rim that will fit the car and put your stock tire on if they have one available.

thanks for the info it turns out that the wheel wasnt bent after all but rather got thrown out of balance and that caused the vibration through the wheel. They were able to re-balance the wheel and its good to go now.

thanks again
