    Black Powdercoat front wheels with new tires.
    Narek P.

    Just wanted to personally recommend the Alpha AutoSports team. Sev was awesome to work with and answered every question I had about getting some work done on my SLK55 AMG. I got new tires, powercoat wheels satin black, balance & 4 wheel alignment. Also, Sev was able to discover one of my wheels was slightly dented, and was able to round out the wheel and fix the issue. Cannot recommend them enough as not only does my SLK drive great, but is a showstopper with the awesome satin black job the guys did. Thanks again Sev and team!

    Thank you Sam and the team at Alpha AutoSports! Called to get a quote which ended up being wayyyyyyy better than most wheel places in LA (by at least $500) which included ton of work on my wheels, and tinting ceramic film on all my windows. They repaired my wheels, curb damage and existing scratches that had been on em. Sam had the wheels stripped down, sandblasted, powder coated to gloss black and then ceramic coated them. He swapped out my tires, balanced and mounted them, along with fixing my TPMS (tire sensors) and the sensor light on my dash. His employee even cleaned up my old wheels and tire "shined" my old tires (and new ones). Amazing work, amazing price compared to a lot of other paces (including my ceramic window tints). I dropped off the truck in the morning and had it picked up by the end of the evening! Thanks brother man! Appreciate the amount of time you guys put into a basic truck like this!

    The finished product of my powder coated wheels and calipers on my 1999 Chevrolet Camaro.
    Joe C.

    Had original OEM wheels and calipers on my 1999 Camaro powder coated and ceramic coated today. WOW ...what difference. Check out the pics. I have been looking around for some time to either buy new wheels or have my original wheels refurbished. After checking out a number of places for both, I got a text from Sam at Alpha. He provided me with all the information necessary to help make an informed decision. He was up front with the services he would be providing and a reasonable quote. I had some concerns about matching the OEM color of the wheels and the car. Sam invited me to meet with him and we would go through swatches to select the correct colors. Sam suggested a silver color that is nearly identical to the Chevrolet OEM paint color code. He even added a dusting of metallic flake, to the color that is in the Chevrolet color. Once the colors were selected, his very professional team began the process by totally encapsulating the car in plastic to ensure nothing got on my paint. After removing the wheels, the tires were dismounted and the wheels were sand blasted to remove the old paint and any blemishes. Additionally any rash was removed. After the first wheel was done, Sam brought it to me to show me the difference. It looked incredible even without the color added yet. Finally the wheels were powder coated and ceramic coated. After the first one Sam once again brought it out for me to see. It looked like a GM wheel brand new off the factory floor!! While that was happening, his team was taking care of the brake calipers. The red color applied was as close as a perfect match to the color of the car. Once the wheels were done the tires were remounted and balanced to the correct balancing specs. It took Sam and his team 5 hours from start to finish to get everything done. I want to be sure to point out that the location / garage is very organized. Other garages I went to were dirty and disheveled. Didn't provide much confidence. However, Alpha's garage and office are clean and organized. If you are in need of a professional garage to powder coat your wheels, do not hesitate to give Alpha a call and speak to Sam to set up an appointment to get them done. Great job guys!!

    Alpha AutoSport repaired our dented 20" wheel off of a BMW 5 series. I also had them repair some curb rash while he had it. They were up front and honest about the cost and provided very reasonable pricing for all the work involved. The job was completed promptly and communication was consistent all the time they had my wheel. Got the wheel back and it looks good as new. Thank you Alpha AutoSport!

    Factory McLaren orange paint finish with ceramic coating.
    Jonathan S.

    Top-notch experience getting the brake calipers painted on my 2012 McLaren in the midst of one of our worst local emergencies. Sam responded to my initial voicemail immediately and we scheduled an appointment to bring in my car. After deciding on a color and brand script, Sam recommended ceramic coating the final finish. Ceramic coating has been very helpful as it keeps break dust from embedding into the paint even after the surface is heated from normal use. I will be bringing Alpha Auto Sports more projects for my car and I strongly recommend that you do as well.

    Painted rotors

    These guys are great. I Just got my brand new Tesla done, Powder Coated the stock Juniper Crossflow rims in Gloss Black. They pay attention to the details / I also got the rotors painted black and the rims Ceramic coated. All in all - a very fair price , I dropped off car in AM- and picked up later that afternoon. Everything was done and looked great. Go see Sam- they do good work and fair price with quick turnaround and premium service.

    Fantastic experience with Sam & the guys at Alpha. It's sad that in todays world service based businesses almost always fall short... this was not the case. Far from it. Sam gave me a quick quote for my full chrome delete, tint, powder coating the wheels, and instal a new grill. 2 day turnaround and I'm beyond happy with the results. 5 stars to these guys - will be back 100%

    When I tell you this place exceeded my expectations, it might be an understatement. I went to 3 different spots before here and wish I just came in first. Sam and his team painted my exhaust tips and calipers and did the most amazing job. The color is so vibrant and smooth. One thing I value in business is transparency and quality and this place came nothing short of that. These guys are going to be big time one day, I already know it. Don't go anywhere else, this is the spot!! Thank you Sam :))

    Highly recommend Sam and his team I had work done on my wheels and calipers. Their craftsmanship was excellent and service was friendly. Prices and warranty are very fair Im very happy I came here and recommend them to everybody

    Sam is the man. Professional, thorough, patient and super accommodating at every step of the way. He took the time to explain to me the process of powder coating, different options I had in terms of wheel finish (matte, satin or gloss), accurate turnaround times and worked with me fairly on pricing. The work was A+ and I could not be happier with the finished product on my ZL1. He's also a very friendly and personable guy -- so pleasant to deal with. While I didn't get my calipers painted or anything ceramic coated, Sam did inform me that those are services Alpha Autosports performs as well. So good to know for future reference!

    Treated very well by employees. Very satisfied with the quality of work. They get things done in a timely matter. For the work they did. I was very happy with the price.

    Gloss Black Wheels - 2024 C63 S

    Best in the business! Dropped off my C63 at Alpha Autosports for the finishing touch it needed. Sam got my car done super fast and the results are showroom quality. Only powdercoating place I'll let touch my cars.

    Close up of amazing black gloss rims and bright red calipers.

    TLDR: Alpha Autosports RULES. Sam and Chris are the absolute best! AA is one of the best finds I've ever come across on this site, and I've been legit excited to write this review. I first messaged them through Yelp, with a brief description of what I was looking for, some questions, and photos of each tire. Sam responded shortly afterwards with an estimate and approximate ETA. I made an appointment shortly thereafter, and dropped off my car a few days later. When I arrived, Chris went through the whole painting process and what to expect. Sam followed up with some truly smart and practical recommendations. I really appreciated not being bombarded with upsells. The ball was always in my court, and Sam was happy to answer any questions. He sent a progress photo, and kept me in the loop on ETA. Communication from inquiry to pickup was a total breeze! The work itself is FANTASTIC! Check the pics! Everything came out so much better than I imagined it would. It's flawless, and really makes this almost 20 year old geezer look like a Petersen showcar. I couldn't be more impressed with Alpha Autosports, this place rules!

    Can you do machine finishing rim repair? What's the quote?

    If I wanted to get my calipers powder coated, will you rebuild them with new oem seals or is this strictly powder coat only?

    Do you offer powder coating for engine bay parts?

    Yes we can powder coat anything metal.

    Hi I wanted to powder coat my wheels black. Was curious to know how long would it take? Does it require to leave the car? Thank you,

    Hello with an appointment it's same day service, (please read reviews) Not sure what the other comment is. Mobile wheel coating is usually just surface paint and not fully prepped.

    My rim has a little crack would you guys be able to fix it? If so how much?

    It's approximately $125 per rim unless it's unrepairable. However, I would recommend seeking out Dr. Wheel Mobile Service; this is just my personal opinion.

    Does the shop have a waiting room/lobby?

    How much would it cost to powder coat the faces of my 19" work VSXX's? I want to do a rose gold color

    Do you guys powder coat motorcycle parts too? Such as rims and swingarms?

    Yes we can do anything Metal/Aluminium

    It's a 2018 Mercedes Benz c300 sedan and I also want a quote on a wrap , I want a stripe from bumper to bumper?

    Depends on size and color, please contact us with year and model and more info for accurate quote. Thank you!

    How much to wrap 4 Mercedes Benz calipers?

    Answered.

    Do I leave my whole vehicle with you for the powder coating?

    Yes full vehicle drop offs are fine.

    Do you have a lot of experience using plasti dip on rims and emblems?

    Yes we do.

    Do you guys hydro dip interior trims?

    We unfortunately don’t offer this service.

    Super convenient! Found them online after I curbed my rims twice in weeks....after having my car…read morefor 3 years. Anyone who knows me knows thats "the end of the world".....so I had to get rid of them eyesores ASAP. Anyway, they responded to my inquiry right away and provided a quote after I sent some photos. Price was reasonable...$255 for 2 wheels~normally $160 for one. They gave me a mini discount because my second wheel was not too bad. Guy came out and was flexible enough to meet me on some random street near where I was volunteering at. So basically while I volunteered, he fixed my wheels...talk about multitasking lol. When my wheels were done he texted me~maybe took an hour or two? Now let me tell you~my wheels were back to their original look...couldn't even tell where the damage was! They did a great job. Would not hesitate to use them again! Cheap & efficient!

It took them 3 full days to get back to me radio silence until Thursday afternoon around 4:45 PM. Then, out of nowhere, they demanded a deposit within 15 minutes (had to pay by 5:00 PM that same day) or I'd lose my appointment slot for Friday. I was stuck in rush-hour traffic in Los Angeles no way I could handle that on the spot without risking everything. You make a potential customer wait 3 full days for a response, then hit them with an impossible 15-minute ultimatum during peak traffic hours? That's not customer service; that's pure arrogance. They used the $50 deposit to lose a customer instead of giving time or more options to pay since I waited 3 full days to even be contacted. You don't build long-term value by treating people like this. You make your money from repeat business and referrals, not one rushed sale that alienates everyone. All this did was guarantee I'll never come back and actively pushed me straight to your competitor, which turned out to be a way better experience. He was responsive, professional, no pressure tactics. All anyone has to do is look on Yelp: the guy who is second with 718 five-star reviews is the one to go to. There's a reason you multiple accounts with reviews: the inconsistency shows. One bad interaction like this costs you a customer forever and now a negative review that future people will see. How you treat people matters just as much as (if not more than) the product or service. This experience screamed "we don't value you until you pay," and it backfired spectacularly. I wouldn't choose this brand even if the work was top-tier. Think hard about pushing rushed deposits on people you've barely spoken to, reviews matter, and this one is loud. 1/5 stars. Steer clear if you value basic respect, reasonable communication, and some flexibility after making customers wait days.

This shop has high ratings, and was close enough, so I thought I'd try them out. So, I brought them the car with rear pads and rotors, and in the process, they told me the front rotors and pads were also no good. While I usually order my own high quality parts, this was my fiancé's car and I opted to let them order and install the pads and rotors so it could be fixed before she started driving it again. Brake pads were not fitting properly on the front (product defect) which they didn't notice before returning the car to me in an unsafe state (it should've been clear, it made an audible knock when driving forward and reversing as the brake pads were shifting forward and back). The tires were put on and aligned, but the steering wheel is not straight and the car doesn't seem perfectly aligned, it doesn't drive fully straight. They charged $225 for front brake rotors and pads installed, and the same $225 for the rear (my trusted shop charges $165 front or rear and does a better job). To their credit, they did replace the faulty front pads and did not try to charge me for it, which is the only reason I'm providing a 2-star instead of a 1-star review. We have a GTI and there are metal GTI brake caliper covers on the front brake calipers; one fell off while we were driving not a few days later and caused damage to that wheel. I have never had this issue before, it wasn't loose before taking it to this shop. If it's the failure of clips or other wearable items, that should've been noted and replaced by this shop. Overall, I am thoroughly unimpressed with my experience with Barkley Tire & Service, and while I'm sure that others have had a better experience, this was very bad for me and I will not be back.
