This place is LEGIT! I had been wanting to get my wheels painted black for a long time. I saw Proper Motion on Instagram and saw what great work they did so I gave them a call to get some info. I spoke with Uriel to get a quote on painting my wheels and also mentioned that I was going to order new tires. Uriel not only got me in the next day to get my wheels done but he also ordered the tires I wanted. AND I also got my faded red brake calipers repainted too! And all the work was done SAME DAY. I'm so happy!! My wheels and brake calipers came out GORGEOUS and the price was so reasonable, just amazing! Uriel and team are the best - thanks so much guys!!

Absolutely gorgeous job! Turned out even better than I anticipated. Done fast and clean with great pricing.

Another rim damaged by car carrier

This business does a fantastic job at a great price! They powder coated my damaged rims better than they came from the factory. My rims look better than when I got them new. I highly recommend this business! Why buy new rims? You can get used take offs or rims that you like and can afford and have him power coat them. Any color you want . Look at the before and after pictures! The owner was very nice and gave pricing right away . The young man that works for him is very polite and helpful . I'm a disabled Veteran USMC and they understood I was in no rush and just wanted a good job. I thought my rims were trashed by the car carrier. Owner and his worker looked at them and ensured me they would look nicer than when I bought truck from factory several months ago. I dropped off on Wednesday, they Friday to tell me pick them up Saturday morning. They even mounted and balanced 3 of them . I didn't have them installed. I dropped them off to him since i needed to buy a new tire that car carrier popped so I had the tire dealer install them when they replace the popped tire. The bad reviews must be fake of his competitors to lower his score on Yelp

I was super happy with my experience here. They were quick and did a perfect job!! Thank you so much!!

Some people reached out and I wanted to respond to the owner's comment and ensure accuracy. I was ultimately refunded... but not by the business directly. I had to go through my credit card company and file a "chargeback" as Proper Motion had stopped responding and did not try to refund me initially. This required me to submit detailed documentation, evidence, and photos of communication. From what I understand, the credit card company looks at the evidence and then decides whether they enforce a refund to the customer. In this case, credit card company investigator looked at the evidence and decided to refund me. Maybe that's what the owner meant by "Ultimately I got my money back." I'm grateful I recorded and had evidence otherwise I would be out hundreds of dollars. I try to be honest and fair. Mistakes happen and generally I give many chances for a small business to make things right before I complain. In this case, I genuinely feel like this business demonstrated no intent to make things right and left me with no choice. If they had offered to do the touch up and remediation work this review would be very different :/ Update 30 minutes later: The owner messages me directly and infers I am poor (see screenshot). While I am grateful the business improved their responsiveness, it unfortunately arrives in the form of insults . Hope this helps to highlight and level set expectations on customer service. I wish the owner and all of you the best of luck - you'll need it if you plan to work with this business. This is my last review, response, and time I will engage with this business.

Just did powder coating on my son's C43. They did a fantastic job. Bringing my new Audi to them shortly. Highly recommend them.

I highly recommend you guys get your rims painted by them and they do such a great job and great price to for all four rims .

These guys are soo worth it, they're did a fantastic job and I came from all the way to Chula Vista, that's how good they are

Tire not properly seated, caused damage.

Paint job was fine, but upon receiving my car I noticed the metal Valve caps were missing, I contacted them and they said they "Misplaced" the caps. Further after I notice that the rear Passenger tire is leaking air. After taking it to a shop they show the damage and it seems it was not properly seated on the rim. If you go to this place make sure to put plastic caps on first!

Found this place on instagram, great communication, loved the same day services, prices are amazing. Friendly service, they were running behind but can't complain, happy with the end product and already referred multiple people. Would definitely return.

Proper Motion is legit! They made 2017 Mustang pop! They powder coated my wheels to match my car and it looks so sweet! I get hard looks all the time and people always want to take pictures of my ride! Thanks Proper Motion!

Ask the Community - Proper Motion

What is the price for powder coating glossy black for four wheels 20 inch?

Had my Corvette wheels and calipers done for $1000 out the door. Fronts are 18" and rears are 19". Had them coated in metallic silver finish which is more expensive than black. Done same day. Hope that gives you a ballpark.

Do you work on motorcycle rims?

yes but you have to drop motorcycle wheels off without bearings or tires

Great company with good pricing come and check them out ..easy to work with and fair pricing ..read more

Reply to Santa Ana's reply…read more Why did SA say they sent me another wheel before I filed the report with eBay? How about the check that was never sent to me? How about the Zelle that never happened? There are photos and proof on the google reviews that show you do this to a lot of customers. How about refunding my $600+ purchase since you have my money and the wrong wheel you sent me? How about posting the tracking from the second wheel SA supposedly sent me? Your lies are probably costing you a lot more money than doing the right thing. Go read the google reviews with photos. I would be real careful doing business with this company. It seems it's been lie after lie with them. I finally had to file a complaint with The Attorney General's office. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Santa+Ana+Wheel+-+OEM+RIM+SHOP/@33.8551649,-117.8938506,17z/data=!4m8!3m7!1s0x80dcd66f98ce3461:0x95b15a0558113411!8m2!3d33.8551649!4d-117.8912757!9m1!1b1!16s%2Fg%2F1tjv3tlq?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDQxMi4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D I purchased a front Mercedes AMG wheel on Dec 8th from Santa Ana Wheel on eBay. The wheel they sent me was a different wheel that didn't fit the vehicle. I reached out to them via EBay Messenger and they stated they would send the right one and to ship the wheel back with their packing slip. They never sent a second wheel and couldn't provide any tracking info. I reached out to eBay about the situation which they required a waiting period for refund which had passed with the exchange process happening. After being told the second wheel was shipped and asking for a tracking number several times, no wheel was shipped. I asked for a refund from them on March 23rd and was told a check would be mailed to me by Joanne via private message with eBay. The check never arrived and I called and spoke to Jasmine who stated they would Zelle me the money. I sent the Zelle info over and still have not received any refund.
