will it really recover bend rims?
will the bend come back after a while??
Need some advice...
Thanks

they will heat the rim up to knock the rim back to shape......

the bend will come back if you hit pot holes lah......so if normal driving on good surface road ok one......if hit pot holes a lot of times.....no need to say the repaired rim.......other never-repair-before rim will also be dented ma......



price to repair depends on rim size.....last time 14 inch costs about rm40....15inch costs about rm 50-60 depending on shop......

also, repair leaking tyres can be done provided the tyres are leaking on the surface that touches the road. if on the side of the tyres, very unlikely to be repaired unless the hole very small.

price is usually rm5 per leak. more if the leak is bigger. but if the leak is very big, then non-repairable.

hope this helps......
