    They did such a great job. I have a 2016 Prius with scratches on the plastic inserts in the wheels. We decided to take out the plastic inserts, paint them and store them (in case when I sell the car the new owner wants it to look original. The newly painted wheels look incredible and I've received many compliments on them.

    Jason and his team at wheel recon took care of my curb rash within 24 hours. I inquired with them thru DM, sent photos of the damage, got an estimate and set up an appointment for the following afternoon. The mechanic Roman showed up a bit early but he was quick and really pleasant. They made my rims look as good as new. I would highly recommend Jason's team to fix curb rash

    I found OC Wheel Recon through a friend who owns a car detailing business and this is the second time I've used them. Recently my brand new Tesla Model Y got too close to a curb and scratched deep into one of the rims. Of course my first emotion was anger quickly followed by relief as I knew these guys could make it look brand new, which of course they did. Even though I know exactly where the scratch was, I can't locate any sign now that there was a scratch or repair done to my rims. I highly recommend them to everyone!

    My repair might've been too much for this team. It was good for 7 months until a protruding bit of metal from the repair bit into the sidewall causing it to tear. Not losing air but will require a second repair to shave it off so it won't have this problem again with new tires. May have been better off just getting a new wheel.

    Needed to have 2 wheels repaired, 1 was pretty bad. I contacted quite a few companies and at least half of them said they would not be able to match the paint color and/or did not have it in stock. I decided to go with OC Wheel Recon after checking reviews, their responsiveness, and availability. Definitely have no regrets, repair went as they said it would and looks great! Highly recommend!

    Jason & Carlos hit it out of the park! I will be using their brake caliper painting service! Thanks for honoring the military discount here!

    Thank you to Jason and Carlos for a job well done and honoring our beautiful nation with your military discount. I'll be using your brake caliper painting service in the near future. If you need proficiency, professional work on-target on-time call Jason's team at OC RECON. He's ready to roll!

    I was looking for wheel repair to fit a complex clearcoated aluminum wheel issue. I had 3 other repair shops turn me down as the finish is too complex and wouldn't come out right according to them. Thankfully I was referred to Jason here at OC wheel recon. The appointment went quickly and wow! They came out fantastic. I am so glad to have found an experienced and knowledgeable service, no where else you should consider. The value is tremendous as any lesser shop I'd have to redo it anyway.

    I had the unfortunate need to have to use this service today because I scrapped my wheel leaving a parking garage last night. It did a number on my front passenger wheel. Thankfully Jason was able to quickly repair the damage in our driveway. This guy is super efficient and the wheel looks like it was never damaged. I would highly recommend this service when you pull a clown move and curb rash your fresh wheels! Thanks Jason. You're a good dude but I hope I never have to see you again. At least not in my driveway...

    Before (OEM wheels, unpainted calipers)

    All around great experience. Very happy with final product, service, turnaround time...everything. I would recommend without hesitation. DETAIL: After looking around for shops in Orange County that do powder coating on OEM wheels and caliper painting, OC Wheel Recon was among the best and on my short list based on my research of reviews and images. I called for an estimate and they answered quickly. Their quote was fair and they were able to schedule me right away. Leading up to the scheduled date I went back and forth with the owner Jason via text a few times on little details like my preferred color for the calipers. He was quick to respond and very helpful. I had the wheels powder coated gloss black and had the calipers painted. The service took one day - I dropped the car off at their shop at 9am on a Monday and picked it up at 10am the next day. Pickup and payment was seamless. The end result was everything I had hoped for. I would definitely recommend OC Wheel Recon to friends and will go to them again for future needs including some curb rash repair that I need on two wheels on another vehicle. Quick note that their shop is on the border of Santa Ana / Costa Mesa (not Orange)...but they will come to you for services that don't require the car to be there. I was having calipers painted, so they needed the car.

I brought in my 2023 Audi Q4 e-tron to get the front brake calipers and rear drums painted in glossy black. The owner did an incredible job--the workmanship is top-tier, crisp, and clean. It completely transforms the look of the car, and the finish is flawless. Beyond the stellar quality of the work, the customer service was amazing. The owner's communication was excellent from start to finish. He was professional, clear, and kept me updated throughout the process. On top of that, his pricing is very competitive compared to other places I looked at. I'm uploading some before and after photos so you can see the difference for yourself. High-quality work, great communication, and fair pricing--what more can you ask for? I highly recommend him to anyone looking to level up their ride. I'll definitely be back!

My Lexus wheels were damaged from acidic wheel cleaner being used on them at some point, so I made an appointment for wheel painting. Went in on Tuesday, he took his time and went over all options for me, and gave me his recommendation for what would look closest to how the wheels looked from the factory. I went with his recommendation. Wednesday morning he texts me saying it's done. I show up and the car looks amazing. The wheels look as close to factory as possible without having Lexus do it for an arm and a leg (and done in 24 hours!). I couldn't be happier and highly recommend his services. Fair price and quality work. 5 stars.

Blessed to not have been severely injured or to have lost my life. The work included new spokes, truing the wheel, based on the recommendation of the manager, Jared replacing the wheel bearings and spacers, which he also worked on. Less than 10 miles after getting the bike home, an oil seal popped loose. When I contacted the shop, the manager's response was essentially: "Just pop it back in." That was my first red flag after paying a premium to have the bike professionally prepped. A few months later, I left for my trip. While riding through Utah, the rear spacer failed, leaving me stranded and forcing me to pay another shop to repair work that had supposedly already been done. Unfortunately, it got worse. After returning from a roughly 3,000-mile trip, the front wheel bearing catastrophically failed, seized, and essentially welded itself to the axle. This could have easily cost me my life. The damage from laying the bike down meant replacing my fuel tank, axle, bars, and brakes all because of failures tied to work I had already paid to have done. What disappointed me most was the response. After everything that happened, including the safety risk and repair costs, the manager offered me $100 as compensation. I have receipts and documentation to back up everything I'm saying. To be fair, I've heard positive things from other riders about some of the mechanics here, which makes this even more frustrating. But based on my experience, I cannot recommend having critical safety work handled under this manager's supervision or work itself. The workmanship and customer service I received were deeply disappointing. Bike is still not the same.

That realization was disappointing, but my most recent visit made it clear I won't be returning. I brought my car in to have my old wheels removed and new wheels installed. This is typically a 30-minute job at most, yet I was charged $160, and the car still wasn't ready over two hours later. What made this worse is that no price was given upfront before the work started, which is completely unacceptable. When I raised my concerns, instead of accountability or an apology, I was met with pushback. Jeff, as the owner, I would expect better transparency and professionalism--especially toward a repeat customer. Charging premium prices without disclosure and failing to deliver timely service is not okay. This was an extremely bad experience. I won't be coming back, and I'll be advising friends to take their business elsewhere. Jeff, I welcome a public response explaining why no estimate was provided and why a simple wheel swap took over two hours... an apology is absolutely owed here.

Gavin gave me two options initially, and I chose the second option replacing front right light with a used light and repairing the fender. Long story short, repairing the fender (making a bracket and welding) was done in same day, but due to ordering the wrong light twice and/or his incompetence dealing with tesla light programming, it took 1 week and 2 days to get my car back with me getting and delivering him the used light with matching part number myself. He kept blaming on the wrong used light that he ordered and kept being rude, whining to me about his time and money lost working on my car, telling me he is doing me a favor when it was his incompetence in ordering the right part or programming tesla light the whole time. I got sick and tired of hearing this BS (felt like he was a customer complaining) so much that I decided to not come back anymore and will go to a different PDR shop in the future. At one point, he requested I need to make an appointment at tesla so he can bring his car there. Second used light he ordered is "DOT 1077372-00-K", and my original light is "DOT 1077372-00-L". According to tesla and from my research, both lights are compatible, but he could not figure it out and at the end, he told me he needs exactly the same part which according to his words, he took a whole lot of time calling and searching for it. It took me 10 min to find whole bunch of them used and took me 30 min to locate the one that I can pick up locally (1hr 30min away) that worked after 5 min after I brought it to him. I wish he just told me the part number in the beginning, and I ordered it myself as if I did it, it'd be done in one day without all of his whining. His final bill was about $240 higher than the estimate as he added tech bill for $240 (he called tesla tech at one point that didn't go anywhere). After I came home, I also noticed one bolt with a washer below my wipers that he is not replying to me if it's from my car and noticed the upper tub under the hood was not clicked in properly. I was very frustrated, but I still was not going to leave a bad review for him considering my past experience, but as soon as I noticed he is ignoring my texts about the bolt, that was it. I won't go back even regarding this bolt that I have no idea where it came from. He never apologized to me even once during this whole time. His attitude was the opposite. Not sure what changed him.
