Wheel Repair in Baltimore

[Gordon Shumway]

I just put my summer setup back on my car and started getting some vibration around 75 mph. I got the wheels balanced today and the techs said two of the wheels had slight bends to them (probably from the huge potholes this winter in Baltimore). The vibration is much better after the balancing, but not completely gone. Does anyone have any experience getting wheels straightened around the Baltimore area? I'd love to see if this is fixable before having to fork over for new wheels. Thanks!

I ran into the guys from Alloy Wheel Repair on Sunday. Seem like good guys and prices are reasonable.

+1 for YOWS. They do good work and have fixed many a wheel for me.

I think they did mine last week. Not too sure would have to ask Euro Pro's when I go back to get my stocks.

They've fixed many of my mistakes too.

Awesome- thanks for the quick replies! I will definitely check out YOWS and Alloy Wheel Repair.

I had one cracked and severely bent wheel done at TAS Wheels down in Laurel. They did pretty well, although they had said the wheel would never permanently run true. But they were honest about it before they attempted the repair.

I've also used Rim Renew in Catonsville. Sam seemed to be pretty blunt and fair about it, and it wasn't a huge wait. He also checks on the inside of the other wheels to be sure you don't have other issues.

Thanks for the recommendations. I checked out both YOWS and Alloy Wheel Repair and both seem like good shops. Unfortunately, YOWS is slammed at the moment and quoted a 4 week turnaround time, so I am going to try out AWR. They seemed knowledgeable and the pricing seemed fair.

Have you checked out wheelworx? A friend of mine is a BMW guy and suggested them cuz alot of the guys on their forums swear by the place. I gave them a call the other day to ask about refinishing my wheels and they seemed really professional. I checked out YOWS too but personally I'd go with wheelworx, the prices were exactly the same but they offer a warranty on their work whereas YOWS doesn't.
