Re: Curb rash repair in Santa Monica/Venice

Too funny I was just searching all over the web tonight as i just hit the back right rim on a curb making a right turn too early. Just rashed hard my polished lip on 22" rims.

I know have 2 of the rims with rashes, and my bmw with painted rims with 2 as well.

Long story short I found online after about 2 hours reading posts a guy named Son Tran do a google search for "son tran curb rash" or rim repair. Anyway he's mobile and I hear he's reasonable and really good. $40-$100 a rim depending on the damage.

714-742-6855

some of the before and after pics I found were downright amazing. It ruined my night, but now I'm going to sleep better knowing it can be repaired. I figured both cars 4 rims I'm gonna be out $250? we'll see.

thanks for posting that. That first link looks almost unbelievable, like it was just another set of rims! My curb rashes are no where near as bad as those on the 2 links.

Re: Curb rash repair in Santa Monica/Venice

Totally off topic but have you lived in Venice your whole life? I was raised in Venice before I left 10 years ago, very small place, everyone almost knows everyone within a certain age group... just wondering of I know/knew you?

Re: Curb rash repair in Santa Monica/Venice

Just got mine done in Santa Monica Friday at a local shop recommended by Kevin at MB Santa Monica.

At first I was very skeptical when I went by the shop but apparently they have someone who comes in to do the work (wouldn't tell me who but I suspect it's Son Tran as MB Santa Monica is 3 blocks away, and he was at MB later that morning to do some work)

Very good job, $125 per wheel.

Thanks for all your replies
