“Wheel refinishing” is the magic words. Shouldn’t be more than 250.

Thanks for that. Apparently the machine finished wheel is a bit more complex for mobile repairs. Any idea of who may be able to do it??

I mean, in a pinch, Lucid. They’ve refinished my wheels before (though they do farm it out to a vendor).

Was your car down for the whole time it took for the third party vendor to complete the work?

Not sure - they had it for service anyway, so I just had them add it on. That said, the turnaround for this stuff is super quick - their outside vendor is right next to them, and I imagine every service center will have a different local shop - or you could just find a local shop.

Called lucid and they said since they can’t recommend 3rd party vendors, the wheel would need to be replaced. Something tells me the guy didn’t know what he was talking about.

They don't officially recommend any 3rd party vendors, ever. If you find someone to give you a rec, then that's a different story

At Millbrae, for example, they will perform the work. I only know it’s through an outside vendor because I know the vendor.

But they wouldn’t recommend the vendor specifically, for liability reasons.
