Default United Wheel Techs - SoCal

Hey everyone....

I haven't been on here in awhile, but just wanted to point out the great work that Steve does for those of you with alloy wheels and curb rash issues. This service is not for chrome wheels. He has worked on my Auto Couture wheels numerous times and is very detailed in the repair work that he does. He can also paint your alloy wheels black if you would like. I highly recommend him to my fellow CL members as he works with numerous high-end car dealerships.

The great thing is Steve does not have to remove your wheel to complete the repair as he uses a wheel lathe and he will travel to you.

Steve can be contacted at 949.500.4946.

More info on his service can be found here http://www.unitedwheeltechs.com/

when i called he quoted me a flat rate of $95 to do EVERYTHING needed to get one wheel into new conditippn, and as i understood it, (may be mistaken), you can't request partial work only.

the best part is Steve will come to you to fix your wheels.

Here are some before and after shots of my wheels.

$95 sounds high to me...

I spoke to Steve and he is charging $75 per wheel.
