Default wheel repair

Looking for a shop that does wheel straitening.
Any one have this done and is it a good fix or not worth doing.

I used Union wheel last year. Weston and finch area. All they do is wheels. My wheel had a pretty decent wobble and it came out perfect. Let me know if u can't find there number. I'll dig it up for u.
I think they charged me around $60-80.

+ 1 for Union Randy

I went to a well known competitor (PM for the name) to have a pair of rims checked. Asked the competitor to spin them for me to make sure they weren't bent. He took them to the back and came back and said both were bent.

Spidey sense was tingling so took them to union for a second opinion (had bought stuff from them before). John let me watch as he spun the first wheel...no issues. He then spent 25 minutes removing the center cap on the second wheel (which the competitor had spun the day before - hmm...right) Anyways after he got the center cap off, he spun the second. It too was fine. Offered him some $$$ for the 45 minutes he spent with me. Did not take a penny. Guess who is going to get my business in future?

Honest guys (my experience), honest work, reasonable pricing. Think it was $70 for wheel repair. Pricing for refinishing varies depending on what you want to do but is in line with others in the city.

I had a wheel repaired by wheel wizards out in Hamilton years ago. Not sure if they're still around but they did a great job.
