My sister asked me to get her new 18' CR-V alignment checked after getting the heated steering installed and me being a good brother says I'll take care of it. Meanwhile she borrows my civic and later calls me at work saying she hit something at highway speeds. I go over to help her and here is what I find...
Of course the tire is a loss and moreover, the wheel is missing a chunk
Hopefully someone can tell me if this wheel looks repaired or not. I wouldn't mind some minor cosmetic imperfections, but this looks like its missing a chunk of aluminum. I'm not too picky about the wheel having some scratches and minor curb rashes but this looks like its missing a chunk of aluminum and it is very noticeable even in the dark because rest of the wheel is black
If anyone knows any good places around the DC-MD area, please let me know. I would rather repair if it ends u being not too noticeable before throwing out a usable wheel. If there is any cheap DIY fixes, I'm willing to try it out before replacing the wheels
Just last month, I let my dad borrow the Civic while his Tacoma was getting the frame repainted under warranty so I could check out the new Tacoma they rented out to him (it was pretty fun being a truck but really dated inside) and he returns it with a broken mirror after someone merged into him. At least I was paid back by the other guy's insurance and mirror was easy and cheap to replace. Before that, when my sister borrowed the civic, it got rear ended (of course got a check from the other guy for that and it was easy to ignore the bumper scratches on a silver car). But this time, damage looks very noticeable on the black
