My wife drove over something on the 20 west last night and blew her rear tire and put a nice flat ding on the inside of the alloy wheel. It is an OEM alloy wheel on her 2010 VW Golf wagon that is like new.
I threw on the winter wheels and tires this morning and now I am debating if it makes sense to get the wheel fixed or just look for a nice used one.
Any suggestions for wheel repair in Montreal. I would take the wheel down and get an opinion.
thanks

Mark, P.Jacques pretty much rules the market in Montreal. However, I find that their quality has come down quite a bit in the last few years.
Case in point, my Cayenne's 21" Sport rim had an altercation with a nasty pothole this summer. They straightened the rim but did a terrible job on painting while overspraying the inner portion of the rim. This needed a good 1/2 hour of removal using a clay block and lubricant.

thanks for the info.
I wouldn't think there would be any painting involved since the damage seems confined to the inside of the wheel. I will check them out.
Any guess on the cost? Looking around I think I could probably find a decent used one for around $200 delivered.

I've used pjacques for a 3 piece wheel. Turn around time was long and they removed too much material off the lip. Exact roues beat pjacques on price, turnaround time and quality of work.
