I would be wary... it's really easy to crack the paint.
You really want someone with the correct tool to do the job

check out brr racing in los gatos if you're in SJ. super legit, but they mainly do euro cars that are easier to roll fenders on.

owners name is Bruce.

great work, take their time, no issues on inside or out, got a lot out of my rears too, they have the right tools, and are used to doing this on $50+k cars so they do a good job. use the heat gun, roll a bit, heat it back up, roll a bit, wash, rinse, repeat.

you might be able to negotiate if paying cash money also.

^^ bmw's are a pain to roll, they have a protective sound deadening coating underneath in the wheel well area.

If they can roll them proper on bimmers, then i'd trust em with my car. just too far of a drive for me lol

The pricing ranges anywhere from $100-400.

I also found the guy in CL advertising $100. His ad directed to RMSWheels.

I was going through the pictures and everything seemed pretty average. Lots of BMWs. Then I cam across this...

BEFORE


AFTER


My jaw hit the ground.

I might be sold...

^ Sadly... if your car is the same fender condition & paint is exactly like that, same time of day etc etc.. it can turn out totally different. Every time you roll a fender can be different.

True, on top of that Subaru paint is pretty crappy to work with. But that amount of roll/pull/flare is still impressive.
