Default Wheel Repair

Does anyone know of a good wheel repair shop in the Bay Area? I have some curb rash on my Volks that I wanted to fix, as well as repolish my rims.

I looked at the Automotive Shop Directory thread, but Rite Way Wire & Wheel were charging a pretty steep amount and Auto Innovations said they don't do wheel repair .

Appreciate the help.

Don't be shy about trying to fix yourself if you are so inclined. Worst case, you pay a shop anyway and they bring them back to new.

Here is the process:

As for shops, Alloy Wheel Repair Specialist (AWRS) or Redline Rim Repair may have techs in your area

Wheel techniques does the work good, but dont forget to take off everything. Center caps and the caps that hold the air. I forgot to take mine off only to come back and pick up my rims with 1 original air cap. I asked for the others and they said that they had been lost. They then gave me 3 different caps 1 Blitz and 2 random ones that look similar. Just sharing my experience with them.
