    Excellent service and was responsive to schedule an appointment on the weekend, overall job took around 1 hour. Highly recommend, before and after pictures for reference

    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

    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.

    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.

    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 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...

    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.

    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.

    This place is awesome! I had a pretty good size bend on my wheel after hitting a pothole. Messaged…read morethem Monday morning and asked them if they can repair my wheel and they responded timely. They said I could bring the car in right away. After a few hours they responded and they were able to fix the bend in my wheel for only $150. Same day repair is amazing and they did their job quickly and efficiently! I couldn't be happier. Thank you again for the help and getting me back on the road.

    Looking to get your boring & ugly factory chrome rims/wheels powder coated??? Or maybe you were a…read morehorrible driver and scratched up your rims & now need a cover up? Lol Then look no further because Metalworks is your go-to stop shop. Not only have I commissioned their work on my Tesla X and BMW X5, but my hubs has also gotten his F150 done too..look for his review! Fausto really hooked it up and provided excellent service. They truly did a durable finish (covering any scratches I accidentally made on my rims), with precision application and long-lasting protection. No one can ever tell that I powder coated them vs buying expensive rims. It was totally worth the value! The power coating also makes the rims sooo easy to wash & clean. The water legit just runs off of it. I 10/10 recommend this tire shop for your dressing needs ~ to give your car the glow up that it deserves. Will definitely come back for my future cars. P.S. If you like my matte black wrap job, go check out my review for the Dependable Guys. They are top-notch too!

    Been going to Gavin at Dents No More Auto Body Repair for years now and I wouldn't trust anyone…read moreelse. I've referred over 20 friends to him and every single one has been beyond happy. Super cool guy, easy to work with, and his work speaks for itself. Honestly does better work than the big body shops and at way better pricing. Most my cars are Matte and he knows how to match exactly! I've taken all my high-end luxury cars to him and he always delivers flawless results. I'm extremely picky with my cars and I would NOT go anywhere else. Trust me look no further.

    I have been coming here for few times over the last few years, but I will not come back anymore…read moreafter my recent visit. 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.
