Good Wheel Repair Shop in Socal? PROBLEMS @ The Wheel Supply
I curbed my wheels and need to get them fixed. Anyone know of a good wheel repair shop in so cal?
UPDATE: 4/24
So I decided to take my wheels to The Wheel Supply in Walnut to get them repaired. I have heard good things about them, but I have to say it was the worst choice I could have made. Maybe it was cause they haven't repair time attacks (damage was on the red stripe on the lip), but they decided not to dismount the tires. This lead to air bubbles on the upper side of the lip closest to the tire. They are not noticable from a distance, but they are there and an ugly site to look at. On top of that they chipped both rims while removing the lugg nuts. No one mentioned a thing. Luckly I caught it when I went home. Their answer was to cover it with touch up paint. They didnt even smooth it out. Now I have to find another shop to get both of these defects repaired. So does anyone know of a repair shop that is well established that can fix both issues. I might have to try Velvet Touch-Mobile Wheel Repair if there are no other suggestions.

True wheel charges $500 to polish and repair all the wheels if just curbage. They have repaired a few of mine. If you have volks they need to do all 4 or it wont match. If the damage is minor they can probably machine it out for $150 and not touch the rest of the lip. PM if you need more help.
