Does anyone know where to get good wheel repair in So Cal? I just got my car on Friday and somehow scratched the rim a tiny bit, but enough to piss me off I would really appreciate if anyone knew a place that fixes wheels. Let me know
Best

Good job slick!!!

Yes Sam, Dr. Wheel works miracles!!! Tell them that you were referred from your Camaro friends (Miguel). I called the OC #, but I'm sure they all go to the same dispatch. Share some before and after pics as well!!!

I dont trust a wheel repair who doesnt remove the wheel, i believe in order for it to be done right the wheel should be removed from the tire and re clear coated and baked and all the jazz, might cost a lil more but itsthe right way to do it.

I see, there is a place in Santa Ana that will take the tire and rim and do repair that way. I think he said it would be $140 or so.

At any rate, I wish you the best and good luck getting your tire repaired!!!

EDIT: I found the place's number on my cell phone : (714) 973-1741 http://www.wheel-repairs.com/

I think the person I spoke to was named Ken.

Pacific Rim in Pittsburg does great! It costs about $200, out the door, but in my five-plus years at a bodyshop, I never got a return and they fixed two wheels on my personal car and it was great. You have to drop them off if it's not through a bodyshop, but it was worth it, IMO.

I am going to use wheels of america. I am going home for thanksgiving to NY so I will have them pick up the wheel while I am gone and it should be fixed by the time I get back, so I will let you guys know
