I've never heard of such a service, and if there were one it would be more cost effective to get a replacement intercooler.

You just mean straighten the fins yeah?

[POTTER]

you mean recore like you do with a radiator
easier to buy a new one

I normally just sit there with a flat head and tweezers but this is a much better idea if you can get tweezers like this..

A better (read: faster) solution is to buy a radiator fin comb:

You would still need to initially use a flat-head or tweezers to straighten the fins if they were completely bent though, else that would merely push and damage them further.

yer you will need to do what duste said so won't make it much faster but that tool will align them all perfectly so will look better than doing it with flat head,etc

if your much too lazy to do it yourself, go to TASOCS in welshpool, they will do it.
