Default Wheel repair in southeast PA

Any of you guys in southeast PA area know of any reputable local wheel repair shops? I curbed one of my Volks and need to get the lip repaired / repolished. If anyone can recommend a good shop somewhere near Philadelphia I'd greatly appreciate it!

Thanks for the recommendation. It's a bit far from me but I'll keep it in mind in case I can't find anywhere closer.

Were your Volks completely painted type (like a TE/CE/RE series) or did they have a polished lip? And did the specifically fix curb damage (where material has been removed/deformed)?

Since my wheels have the machined & clearcoated lips I think I might be in better shape than if it was a GT series wheel with anodized lips, right? i.e. should be easier to repair, strip and re-clear these lips.

Go to a car dealer in your area. My wife curbed her rim on the SUV pretty bad and we took it to Acura for an oil change and I mentioned it to the guy and he made an appt for someone to come out and fix it. They charged me to $200 but it looks perfect. They didn't advertise either because they only do dealer jobs so there might be people around you that do this that you just don't know about. good luck. otherwise, there was a place in bethlehem PA where i had one of my Volks (Gunmetal finish) fixed a few years back.

i have ce28ta's. they fixed the curb damage and repainted. they even taped over all the volk stickers on the inside and did an awesome job. it looked like a new wheel and i think they charged me around $60.
