Default Wheel doctor in Richmond?

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with a wheel doctor. One of my rims is slightly bent at the inner lip and i need someone who can fix it. If anyone has had previous experience with one or knows someone who does it, plesae let me know. thanks

IMO wheel wizzard is better for fixing bent rims

how much does it cost to fix a bent rim? One of my rotas is slightly bent...its unnoticable, but the wheel cannot be balanced. I'm thinking it would be just as cheap to buy a new wheel

Yea the only way i'd do it would be if the repair only cost $50 or something.

Wheel wizzard is HANDS DOWN the best in town.

I had 2 very bent Advan sa3r's ... and he fixed them and didn't even charge me because he didn't feel like they were 100% true... (note: they were undrivable before he worked on them, afterwards only a SLIGHT vibration at 40mph.... that's it!)

Not to mention it he's been doing it for years.
