Wanted: Wheel Repair South Bay
I figured I should get around to fixing some curb rash I have on a set of bronze wheels. Can anyone recommend a service that can color match in the south bay?
There are some suggestions from other threads of Wheeltechniques. I'll hit them up to see if they can do rash as well since my wheel isn't bent. Edit RESULTS: - I hit up Cecelia at Autospa TLC http://www.autospatlc.com/ and they came to my office and worked while I worked. For $150, they took care of two wheels and removed all signs of rash. Repaint on the wheels was flawless and I literally couldn't tell where the rash had been before. I hit up WheelTechniques in Santa Clara, Wheeldude in fremont, and a smattering of other services in the South Bay. CC was the only one who said that the wheel would come out perfect and it did. She has owned this business for 7 years and is very knowledgeable. I highly suggest you reach out to her if you need it. 9.5/10

You should check out http://autospatlc.com/ and ask for Cici.
I had my wheels scratched due to some mishandling at the tire shop and they gave me her card. Cici and her tech do a great job color matching, ie. mine being gunmetal, and she also does repairs. Tell her Alex w/ the black subaru brz sent ya! |

I absolutely wrecked my back right wheel the other day with curb rash, and searching threads brought me here. I will definitely be contacting Autospa to see what they can do for me.
Thanks!

Wheel Technique in Santa Clara does great work with wheel repair, and they powdercoat as well.
