    This team was able to repair my wheel when every other place I contacted didn't want to touch it. Thanks to this crew, my wheel is car meet ready again in under an hour!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Jason did an amazing job on my brake calipers MAHALO!!! and even the convenience of coming to my house.

    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.

    Can't even tell the run was damaged. Convenient, responsive and fairly priced! Will recommend to friends and family

    I'm kind of in disbelief how good my wheels came out. They had some deep rashes, and worst of all the wheels were machined alloy so finishing would be a challenge. Carlos did a fantastic job, as I can't tell where the rashes were anymore. Super satisfied.

    Absolutely pro. Got all the professional tools, very fast and job is 100% done. My rim got curb rash all around and it is like NEW now.

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.

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.

I dropped my truck off on Saturday, March 14th at 9:00 AM. Around 2:30 PM, I received a call that the four tires I requested to have replaced was ready for pick up. After paying $1,061.57 for the tires and labor, I drove off the lot only for my truck to begin violently shaking, forcing me to pull over immediately. I contacted my husband, who came to assist, but the truck was undrivable. I returned to Stress Free Auto Care and explained the situation. At that point, my husband was already waiting for a tow truck. Instead of addressing the issue, we were told they were closing and would not inspect the vehicle until Monday. I could hear the mechanic complaining that he was tired and didn't want to wait around when the manager went to speak to him. I specifically asked if anyone actually drove my truck to test it and was told no they did not road test it. Obviously. Due to the poor customer service and urgency of the situation, we had the truck towed to Toyota of Orange. After inspection, we were informed that the lug nuts had been grossly over-tightened, three were broken and one was missing entirely. This was not a minor mistake; it caused significant damage to the wheel components and created a serious safety hazard. Proper torque is a basic standard that any competent shop should follow, yet it was clearly ignored. No one from Stress Free Auto Care contacted us at any point the following week. After Toyota kept the truck for a week and a half, we were left with a repair bill of $3,332.03. My husband sent a certified letter to Stress Free Auto Care, including documentation of the damages and requesting reimbursement. The manager eventually responded, offering to reimburse only the cost of the tires without acknowledging the additional damages or expenses incurred. As a result, we have filed a lawsuit to recover our losses. I strongly caution anyone to use Stress Free and to choose a business that values safety, accountability, and professional standards.

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.
