Unhappy Scraped wheel, Wheel shop help needed in Horsham, PA

Friends, i will never go to drive-through bank again.

Scrapped my front passenger wheel lip in two places, one of them is half inch long, the other is 1 inch long. about 1/8 inch deep.

Are they repairable? Any good wheelshop to recommend in North Philly burbs?

Thanx

I did the exact same thing only two weeks after owning the car...
Drove up to an ATM machine at a bank and didn't use good judgement so I scraped my front drivers side wheel.

Back when I had my 04 Accord, I had scrapes on the one wheel from the dealership taking it off to fix the rotor. It was ugly and very noticable. After 6-months of dealing with the dealer to get it repaired, they called in the "Wheel Doctor" (instead of giving me an entirely new wheel; they went the cheaper route).

Maybe you could ask your dealership if they have access to a "Wheel Doctor"? The "Doc" did a great job in one day and you couldn't notice where the scrapes had been previously.

I just had all four wheels done by a www.mobilewheelrepair.com franchisee. He is James Walker, located in Pottstown, and he came to my home in Upper Providence to do my wheels in my driveway. Horsham may be a bit of a hike for him, so you might meet him somewhere, but he did a terrific job. About $75 per wheel.

For one wheel, he'll likely be done in less than an hour. You can reach him at 610-970-8768 or email him at jaw21st@aol.com. Took him a couple days to reply to the email, but he got here within a week.
