There's no good story or anything, just been in there a couple times and left aggravated every time. Maybe I just catch the dude on a bad day but anytime I've ever talked to him, it's like somebody **** in his coffee that morning.

My wheels always came out straight though, which is what counts.

Depends on your wait time and how bad the bend is. While personally I've had 2 sets of bent wheels.
A+ did what they can to the ones that were not so bad but its still quite noticeable and they could not do the second set. Turn around time was 2 days.
I still have to take the second set to YOWS to see if they can help me out.

If you need a wheel done at YOWS quickly, take some ammo and give it to the young guy-at least 100 rounds. He will take that as a bribe for quicker work, hell he may even smile at you and not spit at you as you leave the shop.

one thing you gotta know about Asian owned shops is: the worst the customer service... the more AWESOME the product! YOWS is the best rim fixing shop in the whole area.

Bad idea! Who knows if you'll make it out of the shop!

The owner of YOWS is on this site, did you know that?

He already has your personal info from your last transaction, and will be at your house one night this weekend.
