Does anyone know of a good wheel repair shop in the Southern California area? In my drive time too and from work, there is major construction going on everywhere I go. I try alternate routes but they too are in construction or signs posted saying they are about to begin. This has pissed me off because I have already suffered 2 flats and had to get the tires replaced. Riding on low profile tire takes a minute or two before you realize you riding on your rim. By that time, the tire is beyond any repair. My tires are expensive as you all know with low profiles. Thank goodness for the insurance I have on the tires.

Traveling down the freeway one night and coming to my exit. There's a huge pot hole there. By the time I saw the hole and tried to maneuver around, it was to late. I still clipped some of the hole. After that encounter, I began to notice serious vibration while driving at certain speeds. Went in for a balance and alignment and they notified me that the wheel had a wobble to it so they placed it on the rear to minimize the vibration. It has help but can still fell the vibration in the steering wheel. I need this fix ASAP because its driving me crazy. Any suggestion for a pissed off TL driver.

I feel your pain. I had the same thing happen to me Sunday morning, on the 405 freeway harbor exit. I hit a nasty pothole and the wheel is now bent.

 

I know the area you talking about. I guess what pisses me off the most is that they're working on area that I never seen anything wrong with the damn street. You go over to next street or get on the freeway, damn pot holes every 25 yards. Not only pot holes, I have to clean the car twice a week just from all the construction dust all over. Sorry man, just trying to get some anger out!!!
