Curbside Wheel Repair for an easy and inexpensive fix

Long early morning shadows, a right hand turn in a parking lot and an unmarked curb and suddenly a scrapping sound along with a slight shudder. It is the dreaded sound of a wheel scrapping against a curb. You get out to look, already knowing there will be an ugly, jagged rash on the right rear wheel.
Watch out for poorly placed and poorly marked curbs.

Curb rash is so easy to do, but instead of the inconvenience of dropping the car off, have
Curbside Wheel Repair perform a repair right at your place of work or home. Only $100 per
wheel, versus a quote from a competitor of over $180 per wheel, it is a bargain. Add in the
convenience of not having to drop off your car, and it is priceless.

A new replacement wheel can be as little as $300 or easily run into the thousands of dollars.
With three in need of repair from a prior life as a “city car”, the end result looks like brand new
wheels, saving many hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. A word of caution, if your newly repaired wheel finds a protruding, unpainted, dark curb of a property owned by Nicholas A. Speno Associates, such as at 795 W. Hamilton Ave. in Campbell, expect the curbs to be painted yellow after complaining, but don’t expect a $100 reimbursement.

Kris, the owner of Curbside Wheel Repair is very easy to work with and does excellent work. Curbside also performs bent rim repair and headlight restoration. I highly recommend their services without reservation. Kris can be reached at 925-596-5603 or email cwrbayarea@aol.com.

Sixth generation Camaro V6 review

Chevrolet updated the chassis of the Camaro for 2016 with the new Alpha platform and by all accounts the approximately 250 to 300lb weight reduction was a huge improvement. Despite having a brilliant chassis and three powerful engine choices, the interior and outward visibility hardly improved at all. I wanted to like this car, I really did. It has some really good aspects but overall it’s only good for going in a straight line, not reverse or backing up out of any parking space, on public roads or modified into a track-only car. You decide if the interior justifies a $29,000 MSRP. The 2017 model is essentially the same. The 335hp V-6 is a great engine, responsive, sounds good and with the quick shifting 8 speed automatic, the car is capable of mid-high 13 second quarter mile ETs. It feels every bit as quick as the numbers suggest. It has no appreciable dead spots and has an excellent pull. The 8 speed auto is finicky on the highway though, downshifting at the slightest provocatio...

BMW M760LI xDrive quick review

2017 BMW M760LI XDRIVE – LUXURY ON OVER-DRIVE Originally published on the new performance oriented website, Fuelcurve.com: https://fuelcurve.com/2017-bmw-m760li-xdrive-luxury-over-drive-review/ Seeing a factory matte finish BMW raises the eyebrows. Strolling nonchalantly toward it, spotting the V-12 emblem puts a pause in your pace. Then reading the back emblem and seeing “M760i” denoting BMW’s 601hp technological tour-de-force definitely raises both eyebrows. Who knew a 2017 model year V-12, twin turbo sedan was available anywhere for nearly $172,000. This is a CEO car. It’s for the business owner who, nicely put, gives zero cares about what anyone thinks about his or her 16mpg highway Q-ship. They worked hard, employ many, and get to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Or maybe wants something that is extremely modern, smooth and quiet and not care where the charging station may or may not be. Start-up and driving is like any other car in the basic sense. But extra attention is giv...

2015 Porsche Cayman GTS review and test drive

The 2015 Porsche Caymen GTS is the now the best all-around sports car under one hundred thousand dollars, replacing the prior title holder, the Porsche Caymen S. Take everything the prior S model is, add horsepower and a more track and driver oriented, visceral demeanor while retaining streetability, and that is the GTS. Besides horsepower, it adds a new body kit, a sport exhaust system, 20” wheels and a lower ride height versus the S. Conveying the balanced perfection of a Cayman isn’t easy unless it’s driven. The latest generation gives it a more exotic, grown-up look. Inside, the familiar ideal seating position with excellent outward visibility. Every surface visually sculpted, everything that is touched has an engineered quality with logic of the controls. For performance driving or track days it has a lower ride height, among the lowest center of gravity among production cars, and an engine placed where it’s supposed to be, right behind you. The sport exhaust reminds the driver th...
