They're local (to me) and they're good. The owner's father started straightening wheels in the early '80s and the owner has been doing it now for quite a while. Prices are on the website but can vary.
I had a set of lightly bent steel wheels straightened by them and new snow tires put on, I think it was $100 for all 4 (straightening, mounting, balancing). Today I brought 8 16" SAAB rims in, 2 were badly bent, 4 were slightly bent, 2 were good. They're charging me $60 each to straighten the 6 bent ones because 4 won't take a whole lot of work and 2 will take a decent amount of work. Maybe it's a local discount too.

The owner has Soccerball wheels on his whack Nissan Stanza Wagon

You should have seen it a few months ago. They were running a promotion on polishing wheel lips and they were calling it "the money shot". There was also a section on the site where he said something to the effect of "We just got back from the ___ show where I gave out over 5000 $100 rim jobs and boy is my mouth tired. No you sickos, from talking!"

Yeah, they crack me up :twisted:
