I work with a guy who's family runs Ajax in Moorabbin. Can't speak highly enough for the work they have done for me.

squid; no workmanship claims here, I havent had the job done yet, just old(ish) set of wheels, like 5-8yrs im guessing. and there is no big chunks either lads

I might try the painting Idea though, just so I can locate the leak. useless beaurepaires wanks found it but didnt mark it...

Spoke t Advance wheel repair service, not too helpful; quoted $100-200 without seeing it and hung up on me haha lol

sorry to hear... knowing u're really busy and all it wouldn't be worth the trouble to go there and show them.. probably would be the same result.. they used to be really good and friendly too, when i dealt with them last...

Its just a bit of a mare for me to take time off work and get it down there, Its not like I wouldnt do it, just a pain.

they may well be better in person, it was some hag receptionist that wasnt interested in being there, like customers are a problem!!! haha

A visit to the business normally sorts the pricks to the good ones, and also gives you a chance to see the quality of there work, even if it is a pain in the ass to do!

so true mate... I might just strap on a bikkie and take it in for them to muck about with

Advanced Alloy, and Ajax both have good reps,

I went to both of mine after spinningg out on a corner and meeting Mr. Square kerb on a wet night. Neither of them would touch my rim (teehee) saying even if they fixed it (a fair portion of the lip had been bent so hard, the steel bead of the tyre was Outside the lip of the wheel for about 10cm worth of distance). As they said even once fixed it would then crack the whole circumference of the wheel where they'd fixed it as soon as load got put on it.

Went to Neways in Hiedelberg "no worries mate, come back in a day or two, $60 (i think) and it'll be done"

Was done well, on time and hasn't caused any problem since

[GTI-TRD]

Yeah sweet, Ajax is the most handy to me, might have to drop in there. Ive gotten used to filling it up with air every 7 days or so hahaha

[Phyro]

Well you could, but seriously, the trip out to hieldelber isnt that bad, you just jump on browns road or whatever it is and keep going. though it depends on the damage i gess. if Ajax will touch it, go for it

i had a leak in my rim, a 8cm or so long crack, had it repaired by alliance rim repair over this side of the country for $60.
