Curb Rash Repair: TL Type-S - Advice?

First local guy (who was recommended) quoted $700 flat to bring all four wheels back to like-new condition. Picss of all four:

I'm thinking that is a little high. I could buy all new for a couple bills more.

PS. Caliper and rotor on the third wheel looks messed up. Agreed?

Thoughts?

Mine also has some curb rash as well. The owner wasn't a partciularly careful driver it seems. I'll be interested in hearing what the price is for buffing out those scuff marks as well.

$700 sounds like quite a bit!

ALso 3rd pic does look bit weird, maybe take a closer pic of the caliper/brake pad there.

I just bought a TL Type S. The wheels are just as bad. It burns my a$$ people don't take better care. I have never curbed a wheel...I'm on the finish about refinishing them...

P.S. Your rotor and caliper look messed up...

$700 is too much. Mine were redone for about $100-$125 per wheel.
