My dad and I traded cars over the weekend and he totally jacked up my rim on a curb (poor guy was scared to tell me). I called Dr. Wheel today and they're coming out. The guy said $60-$90 over the phone. Do you guys tip the technician that comes out or just give him exactly what they quoted?

I'm itching to do a canyon run but want to wait a couple more months until I can get an oil cooler installed. I know I can survive without one but I don't want to limit myself. Did you get the Stillen cooler? How's it working out?

I really wanted to come out on the 11th but couldn't make it, hopefully I'll be able to make the meet on the 6th. I'll give you a heads up if I can make it maybe we can roll together.

seriously google Son Tran and his name will pop up everywhere.

I dont have pics cause I just didn't want any memories up my scuff. Son repaired only one wheel of mine that curbed while pulling into the gas station. I thought it was bad and when he quoted me over the phone he said 40-60. When I met up with him in OC (autobachs old parking lot) he looked at it and said "easy".

took him about 15 min in total time. No need to take off the wheel.

I drive a g37 sedan with slightly stretched tires and low offsets, so my wheels have to look good at all times and I knew only person who will take pride in their work would be son tran.


I might seem like a newbie here but I'm mainly at myg37 and g35driver. I saw this thread and just had to post my experience. And to build up my post count..lol

Just came back from Velvet Touch today and they said my wheel needs to be refinished. I guess wheels with an anodized lip can not be repaired properly by a mobile repair man.
