Question Anyone used MobileWheelRepair in Diamond Bar?

I just got a deal on a set of Volk GT-C's and 2 of them have slight curbage to them. I've read good things about the MobileRimRepair in Pasadena (through SEARCH), but nothing on the Diamond Bar one. I was going to take it to MagMasters, but they don't clearcoat the lip after. The guy at MRR(Madhu or something) said they replace the clearcoat. Just wondering if anyone had experience with them. Thanks!

Heh... Too late... went ahead and dropped my 2 volks off with them last week. They did a great job on repairing the rash. Can't even tell. However, the clearcoat they put on is nothing close to the original finish on the Volk lips. It's a very hazy satin kind of finish, where the original clear coat from volk is very clear and almost mirror like. I waited the requisite 2 days for drying and curing before I started to polish it, and it's still hazy. I'm gonna call em tomorrow to make them take off the clearcoat. then I'll either try to find another shop to clearcoat, or just run bare and wax the hell out of them...

If you have painted rims, they might do an ok job. I just wasn't too satisfied with the clear coat they used onthe polished lip. Just my personal experience.

The clear coat goes out after a while anyway.

They have a few locations. There might be one closer to you than the DB one. Might also want to check out Tru-Wheel in No Hollywood. That's where Rick from Status referred me to. www.fixarim.com

If I were to get my next set of rims fixed, I would probably go with Tru-Wheel.
