Found another wheel shop other than Ye Olde
www.thewheelpro.com 1-888-659-8232
The Wheel Pro recently fixed some curbage on a wheel at a very reasonable price and did it the same day while I waited and he didn't even need to dismount the wheel. Brian is the owner and he did an excellent job and unlike those rude mouth breathers at Ye Olde Wheel Shop, he was easy to deal with, courteous, and professional.
Best of all, he's located in Dulles/Sterling, he's mobile, and he can meet you at your house. Just thought I'd give a free plug to someone who did a great job and for the benefit of those who don't feel like driving all the way to Elkridge just to have to work and wait by Ye Olde Wheel Shop's schedule.

Again, my repair only involved a 3-4 inch rash along the lip which he took care of in a hour or two without dismounting the wheel. As to repainting a set (4?) of wheels, I'm not certain he could get that done in a day but you could ask.

My point exactly, my neighbor had one of these "mobile" repair guys fix his 1 year old TL and it looks like ****. There's something to be said about getting it fixed right the first time. I'm always sketched out when I see those guys posting up in dealer lots with a stack of newspapers, roll of painters tape, and enough krylon to make Jackson Pollock look like a little *****.

For me, nope, I hated my curbage and it never occurred to me to take a picture of it.
I have his business card/brochure and it shows some B&A pics (who knows if he was the one who really repaired the wheels but whatever) so I'll see if I could scan and post it.
