Hey Dan...we use a mobile repair service...they come right to where you are...don't really know what their prices are...we've always been pleased with the results. I'll find out who they are when I go into work tomorrow and let you know.

Have you tried Sullivan Tire? They have places all over MA, NH, and ME.

I don't know if they straighten rims, but They are a full service shop so they probably do.

I think the local guy's name is Bruce. My body shop gave me his contact info recently. I'll try to remember to dig it up and post the number for you.

I called the guy out of Derry (I tihnk its the Bruce guy). He is going to let me know when he's in the Concord or my area. I might call him sooner and try and drop it off depending on how things go here.

tire is holding air but still needs to be fixed soon.

And thnaks for everyones help.

not fixed yet.
I need to take the rim off and go find the Bruce guy. I guess he's not going to be in Concord anytime.
Tooksbury is way out of my way.

Hopefully next week I will be getting it fixed.
