Wheel Repair

	Sometimes life just doesn't seem fair. But then, occasionally, one is fortunate enough to find someone that can make things right again. On July 14th I managed to ding one of my wheels on a driveway curb. On July 31st my carelessness was fixed by Rite-Way Wire & Wheel Specialists in Walnut Creek, CA. They can be reached at (925) 933-4046.

The good news was the rim wasn't bent and my tire didn't need to be replaced.	Step 1. Remove the wheel.
Step 2. Dismount tire.	Step 3. File down the bad spot.
Step 4. Polish the rim.	Step 5. Remount the tire.
Step 6. Reseat the tire bead.	Step 7. Spin balance.
Step 8. Re-torque the wheel bolts.	Good as new. And only $75.00!
That's not quite the whole story. I didn't realize that they didn't accept credit cards. Unfortunately, I didn't have my checkbook with me either. Not a problem. They simply said to go ahead and drive to my bank, get the cash, and return. Now mind you, my wheel was fixed and back on the car. They also didn't want anything to make sure I returned - even though I offered. One doesn't find too many places like this anymore. I fully recommend them!
