hello, i just moved to the baton rouge area and am looking for a person or company to repair a damaged rim. below is a picture of a rim like mine.

picture of like rim

i bumped up against a curb and the curb won. the rim is scratched on the alloy part (the painted part is unaffected) and it is less than an inch long. normally i wouldnt care but my vehicle is brand new and i would like for it to remain that way, providing i don't do something stupid like hit a curb again. there are no gouges. a long time ago, i did this with another vehicle and a person in the alabama area was able to touch it up with paint sprayer (similar to an air brush painted shirt) and it turned out perfect again.

any recommendations on who to call? is there anyone that works at a dealership and uses a person or company to repair damaged wheels? also, what is a fair price for a repair like this?

Rim doctor.

If that place doesn't exist then another rim repair place listed in the yellow pages.

hoping less than the standard 3.50 answer.

Why did you capitalize every letter in the word rim?

This is either a well thought out troll of the OT , or one of the few instances where an honest inquiry is assisted on the first page with little hassle. Nice work either way.
