Default Tru Wheel in North Hollywood

Anyone here have any experience with them? In a moment of extreme stupidity yesterday (that, and being distracted by my gf trying to tell me something, but I know better than to blame it on her. ) I pitched my wheel into the curb and put some good rash on it. I don't think it was hard enough to bend it or do any real damage (might have knocked the alignment out a bit), but just the fact that I know it is there is going to eat away at me until I fix it.

Their website is a little hokey, but I'd like to believe that they don't need to have a flashy website since their work speaks for itself and they have more than enough business...

A friend recommended them and said they could probably fix it for around $100. If anyone has any direct experience or knows someone- please share stories! Thanks.

Hey Zoner! Welcome!

Don't know this guys but $100 for fixing a wheel is not too bad, hope someone else knows them and share.

Thanks.

I'm going to try and get estimates next week- I'll take some before and after pictures.

Jess- was the OC shop in question Wheel Repair Specialists in Santa Ana? I'm going to check them out too... a little closer to me than NoHo.

I can't remember the name of the shop, but I'm pretty sure it was in Santa Ana. Gino's username on this forum is saintse36. He hasn't been around much because he sold his Ti a few months ago. Try shooting him a PM, and I'll give him a call tomorrow.

I can personally vouch for Tru Wheel. They have fixed at least 10 sets for me and my friends. I trusted them with my HREs so that says a lot.

Ask for Sandra and tell her "Roadtrip" sent you.
