Default Wheel repair shop north central Florida?

Anyone have good experience with a wheel repair shop? I'm in Gainesville.

What did you damage? Photo? If your refinishing, some here have had difficulty matching colour. Make sure the shop you choose guarantees the match. Otherwise you will be doing your whole set.

BIGsmoke, this is actually on my new Lexus. I curbed it nicely on a short/square curb and took about a 8-10" grind out of the edge. I figured that Brumos over in Jax would be a good source (I called and they use the same service as the Lexus dealer) but I wondered if there was a service that was closer to me. The BMW and Toyota dealers didn't instill much confidence. Your color match comment is the on the mark with my concern. These wheels are painted a color called Liquid Graphite and I'm sure it's a challenge to match. Damn.

I'm in Jacksonville FL. and had some nasty curb rash on both rear wheels when I bought the car. I called Brumos and they use Negasi Kidane 904-333-9944. I called him and he completed both rear wheels in a couple of hours and I can't tell they were ever damaged. If memory serves me it was around $150 or so. Color match is perfect to factory silver. No affiliation to him or his company.

Thanks WMRiceman. That's the recommendation I got too. I'll be giving him a call.
