Recommendation for wheel refinishing

GoodMoodley · 12-08-2022, 08:45 PM

Looking for recommendations for wheel refinishing in the Guelph area.

Hoping someone has some firsthand experience with a local shop.

There's a place in Kitchener I've been to.. RimDoctor. It was a few years back but their prices were decent. They sub out the powder coating and some refinishing but do other repairs in house.

Place looks a bit sketchy but it's been around for decades.

I'll be going there in the spring to redo my winters.

Why not post the info?

because I'm currently at work and can't remember the name of the shop and need to dig around at home to get it, OP wanted a place in Guelph, so I wanted to know before I waded through my old receipts from a few years back (if I still have it), should I go through the trouble and possibly get a "no thanks I really need Guelph" Guelph to GTA is a good 50km's and he'd need to leave the car or the wheels there, so possible 200km trip. (4 times, there and back)

Thanks Nazali. I will probably check out the one in Kitchener noted in post above.

NP Kitchener is far closer than the guy I used in the GTA,
I'm in Mississauga, so it's closer, I did do a weekly travel to Guelph (the uni up there), so it was a bit of a trek for me.

Let me know though if it doesn't work out

Throw up some before/after pics?

Forgot to take before pics but they did a great job on my winters. Original (knockoff brand) paint was starting to flake and bubble, was discolored from salt/brake dust.
