I just had tires replaced at a local shop and they damaged the lip of three of my wheels. They basically used that tire iron they use to fit the tires and bent a 2-inch portion of the lip out.
I put in a claim with their insurance company and was just notified that they would pay and to please submit estimates for repair.
I don't want to seem like a know-it-all by saying that they have to replace them so I'm going to visit a couple of wheel repair shops to see if they can, in fact, be repaired. However, since I know some places will just tell you "yeah sure we can fix that" and then do a ****-poor job just to make money I wanted to ask people that would actually know.
Can these wheels be repaired?
I realize that there are "Chrome" and "Polished" wheels so I looked on the original window sticker and it says "20-inch Chrome Clad Wheels" so I am correct in saying they are chrome.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Here is the type of wheel I have on my vehicle:
