Curbed rim repair review ...
Took my car to Steve's custom cars in Bellevue, I'll repost the before pics for comparison ...
Overall they did a good job, very reasonable $140 but they were a little lacking in the communication department. I got the quote and made the appointment with Steve but when I dropped off my car (9am) on Wednesday a different dude showed up 10 minutes late. A woman then called me at 10:52am telling me that the rims were done, it seemed way too fast to be true and when I arrived I had a look and wasn't over the moon with the results especially after being quoted "You will never even know I was there". After pointing out that the job was not to my satisfaction and chatting for a bit we discovered that they had not re-clear coated the rims which Steve said they would do and this apparently had not been conveyed to the woman doing the job. The rims were then clear coated and I returned at about 4:30pm to pick up the car, now that I have cleaned the rims I cannot tell that they had been damaged and so I am really happy, I just wish it had gone a little smoother ... Also, you can kind of see the spray pattern from the clear coating but it looks kinda cool ... And now for the pics ...

Success = fixed rims. Great success = not having to take 2 trips there and stressing about it. :) |

Well,
Success = fixed rims. Great success = not having to take 2 trips there and stressing about it. :) Two trips as in the first repair wasn't actually repaired, or two trips as in drop-off and pick-up? |
Looks like they did a good job.

Two trips as in wasn't 100% repaired, I'm actually really suprised that they thought the job was done the first time they called me ... and that is why I would be somewhat hesitant in recommending the place.

it looks a lot better, they did a pretty decent job. sucks that you had to remind them to finish the job though .. 2nd trips are no fun.
|
$140 for both wheels or each? sorry about he mishap, but it looks great. :thumbup: depending on what you use to clean your wheels, if you use a brush it should make the spray pattern look just like the other wheels over time.
|
Wow, I'm impressed with the way they turned out.
|
Two trips isn't bad...god wait til I post my review on Accutint's $800 clear shield job lol Also very glad to see that he did a good job on your wheels bro :D
|
I really... really like your hood :p
