So I went to park and this curb attacked my passenger wheel. The scuffing isn't to bad, so I decided to search my options.

I contacted a guy about wheel repair, because someone else quoted me $275 which included fixing the wheel so it does not take as much weight as it does (from previous curbing), and getting the curb rash fixed.

Well this guy I contacted explained that he comes to me, fixes the wheel on the car, and guarantee's it.

I am pretty skeptical about this and how this actually works.

Has anyone else had previous experience with on site on car wheel repair for curb rash?

I do not want to make a mistake, and spend $125-$175 only to end up buying another wheel.

Maybe someone here has some experience with this and can give some good details. I would like to know more about it before he comes out or I call him back.

I just don't want to end up with a wheel I can't balance, or takes more weight to balance.

Or go to your local Infiniti Dealership. 95% of them nationwide offer wheel refinishing services for only $100 per wheel and warranty the work.
