Default Anyone ever heard of or used Wheel Works in Millersville, MD for wheel repair?

The shop that mounted my winter tires gouged up my stock rims, and they've agreed to have the wheels refinished. I know that most locals have used Ye Olde Wheel Shop, but this place wants to send them to Wheel Works, who said that they can do the wheels in 1-2 weeks, which is very helpful (I need to get these wheels on pronto).

And, yes I already acknowledge that Radial Tire was probably a better option, so everyone with whom I argued about that can KMA. :-p

Default One is perfectly fine, two are gouged down to the alloy on the lip, and the fourth is gouged in

several places along the lip (down to the alloy) and also on the face of the wheel itself.

They supposedly have a "touchless" mounting system, but it's quite obvious that someone used a prybar on them... BTW, they're refunding the mount/balance cost and suggesting that I take the repaired wheels elsewhere for mount/balance when they're back (because the tires will have to be removed to do the repair).

Default I know a bunch of locals that used them for repairs to their wheels

They all had a good experience with them. They did a great job on repairing the wheels.
