Wheel repair?

Does anyone know of any shops around the area that do wheel repair and a good job at it?

I also recommend Dependable Wheel Repair. They have done quality work for me in the past.

I used Wheels America about five years ago. They did a good job, but had to pay for shipping both ways, and wait. I also remember they wanted $100 +.

I found a local place in Portland OR, called factorywheeloutlet.com I had a couple of wheels fixed about two years ago, they did a good job and price was $50 per wheel.

I've used dependable wheel as well and can recommend them. THey are reasonably priced on their repairs and welding, but mount and dismount is a little high. If you have an extra wheel, I'd have tight 'n tidy racing in renton do your mount and dismount to save a little $$.

BOth are in Renton.

Yeah my roommate had a wheel fixed thast was pretty close to that. Konig's are garbage and the guy when fixin the wheel it cracked in another spot... lol Anyways, when he was finished it looked brand new. I haven't seen my roommate for a few days so maybe I'll call him and ask hmi for the guy's number. He charges about $75 per wheel I think
