Will Babb (Will's Rim Repair) Followup

    We shipped a customer's wheel to Will right before we lost him. There was a printed return label in the box. We got a call from someone to notify us of his death. They said that they would send the wheel back to us. Unfortunately our person did not get their name or number, they just told the call to please return the wheel.

    Well, we and our customer are starting to grow concerned about getting the wheel back in our hands.

    Does anyone have any contact info for whoever may be handling Will's affairs?

    Any help is VERY much appreciated.

    I know Zach Sears has been in communication with Will's father and been helping some people out with figuring out getting wheels back. He runs a group on Facebook called Trackday/Race Junkies. I'm sure someone else on here might have a better contact option.

    Yeah, made sure he always got a good tip. $30 or $40 was just not enough for the magic he did

    Wow I was thinking freak accident. But either way so sad for the family and friends he was an awesome guy. Never met him. But used his services numerous times super nice guy. Didn't even charge me the last time because he cldnt fix it. Shipped it back for free.

    Well, RIP Will's Wheel Repair. I wish someone would post that the business is no longer taking wheels. I sent 3 wheels to the address. How can I get my wheels back? I will pay someone $100 to get my 3 BMW HP wheels back in a box and pay the shipping to return to me.
