Default Wheel Repair

Hi.. I have a small ding the size of a dime on my back wheel. Anyone know of a good wheel repair shop on Long Island New York that can handle the repair and not screw up the mounting.. There are so many shops don't know who is good..Thanks..

My only experience with wheel repair was not on the Corvette, but I learned to not use the mobile repair services that come to your car. They obviously can’t powdercoat and the paint they use isn’t as durable against brake dust and chemicals. They also use filler and grind down the orginal material which will negatively affect future repairs and attempts to powdercoat.

Sometimes you can find a great used wheel for the price of repairing a wheel
