I would give the owner of this store 10 stars if I could. I rolled up one cold, crappy afternoon after my husband had gouged one of the rims on his new Mercedes. Husband was suitably bereft. I found this gent and his shop on Yelp, and rolled up not 24 hours after, and rolled away in less than 45 minutes with a brand new wheel that matched exactly. The proprietor assured me that some degree of luck was involved (these rims do not fall from the sky) but he charged me significantly less than sticker, for which I was thankful. Additionally, he worked on the rim of another friend's Mercedes, and did a bang up job on that for a fair price as well. read more

Some businesses do a service and the customer leaves. Others go above the call of duty to make the customer truly happy. Your shop did exactly that. I will recommend your services to everyone I know as the BEST business that strives to exceed expectations when it comes to providing a job that is superior. Thank you for your hard work and generosity. In this day and age where pride in a specialized trade is hard to come by, I cannot say enough good about the qualities and character that both Ryan and Dave have. They treated me like a family member while listening to my needs. The wheel rims on my car look better than original. These two guys are the best ever when it comes to professionalism, workmanship, and treating clients with the utmost respect. read more

Wheel Tech did a phenomenal job on my 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara edition. They took 3 days to complete the job and I love their attention to detail on this matte black finish. Wheel Tech also followed up with me day-by-day to let me know their progress. Please see the before and after photos that I posted. I can't say enough great things. read more

Best customer service. I was at another shop and they told me my rim was "irreparable, it would never ride the same again" their solution would have added 550 for new rims and tires. I took it here. They had it repaired within 3 business days. Didn't even need new tires. Total cost 135. Good honest shop. Made a customer for life. read more

I took my 19" Forgestar wheels here after a business trip to MI (worst highways I've ever driven). I cracked the inner lip on one rim and curb rashed the heck out of two others. I was very leery that they could be repaired but after sending some photos to Ryan, he believed he could fix them. I brought them in on Tuesday and they were ready for pickup on Saturday. They looked good as new! I was extremely happy with the repair work. read more

This shop refinished my 2014 Boxster S rims to 95% satisfaction after other shop tried it multiple time and couldn't get it right. Ryan delivered very much what he promised when I brought my wheels and pointed out issues with them. I'd recommend this shop to anyone who is looking for high quality job done on their wheels. read more

I've used these guys a couple of times and each time I walked out very satisfied. During the winter I bent a rim on my 528, my dealer recommended that I have them repair the damage. I found the staff to be knowledgeable and friendly. They also made my rims look like they were new. There was no sign of any damage and almost 8 months later they still look great. I had such a good experience the first time that I decided to use them again to repair the rims on my wife's A6. Not only did they remember who I was but they asked if I had any Issues with my previous repairs. The RIM's on the A6 were fixed in a timely manner and they like before they did a excellent job. I highly recommend them, they combine high quality work at reasonable prices with great customer service. If your read more

Car repairs always cause me anxiety, partially because females are not often treated like humans when it comes to any car consumer situation. I have never been treated better than I have been at Wheel Tech. I have had two curb rash repairs completed there and they have come out perfectly! This is the only place I would trust my wheels to and the pricing is the most reasonable I have found yet. It is very difficult to find rim specialists in the Chicagoland area and I luckily chose the best guys around! Even thought they are 30 miles away from home for me - Wheel Tech is 100% worth it! They are professional, polite and efficient - this is the ONLY place you should trust with your wheels. read more

I highly recommend Wheel Tech for powder coating or repair work with your wheels. They may be a tad more expensive than some of the run of the mill powder coaters you find but it's very well worth it!! Ryan takes care of everything and is more than willing to work with you. If you make an appointment with him, he'll have your wheels for you when he says he will and you won't be able to miss the quality in his work. He uses a machine that will not scratch your newly powder coated wheels when reinstalling tires and balancing and everything is included in the price he gives you. You can leave your car with him and he'll keep it in the shop or you can drop off the wheels. I believe he also has the ability to store summer wheels during the winter for a fee. Ryan answers emails promptly and someone always answers the phone so you're not worried before and throughout the process. You can't go wrong when in need of a fresh look or repair to your wheels!! read more

Wheel Tech - Auto Repair Near Me - Highland Park, Illinois

We are here to pick up our powder coated rims and wow-- the have far exceeded my expectations. The matte black looks like it's a factory wheel. Well worth every penny spent. Both men are pleasant and seem to genuinely enjoy what they do. I highly recommend this place! read more

I have a Mazda Protege 5. It is an '03 model but it is my baby. I love this car but after driving it for a few years I started to notice that the chrome rims where looking pretty bad with scratches and dings. I don't know a lot about cars so I always dread going into a car shop but these guys made the whole experience really great. They explained all of my options in terms that I understood. They also gave me a breakdown of the costs so that there weren't any surprises. I choose Wheel Tech because their prices seemed the most reasonable after calling around, but for the experience it felt like I should have paid much more. It has been 4 months since I had my rims worked on and they still look amazing. I certainly appreciated the professionalism, the quality of work, and they fact that they saved me quite a bit of money in the process. read more

These guys are honest and will take care of you. I previously was working with a shop on the north side of the city for minor maintenance. I had these other guys put on a new set of tires, but my car started vibrating at highway speeds. The other guys told me that my new performance tires were making problems with my alignment more noticeable, which I paid to have fixed. After that, when the vibration persisted, they told me that two of my rims were bent and would need to be straightened. They offered to send them out to be fixed for me if I would leave my car with them for a few days, but I decided to go to Wheel Tech instead. Wheel Tech offered to fix the rims while I waited, or to take me back and forth to the train or to a car rental agency if I left my car with them, or to fix the rims separately over a few days and to play musical chairs with my spare so I could keep driving my car while each rim was fixed. Given the flexibility when working with Wheel Tech, I took my car to them to have the rims straightened. Immediately after I arrived, the mechanics at Wheel Tech tested my rims and told me that none of them were bent. In fact, they said that the other guys had not balanced the tires properly, and this was causing the vibration. I asked them to double check, because I was convinced that the original shop had told me the truth. At this point, Wheel Tech could have made a lot of money for little effort by just rebalancing the rims but charging me for the straightening. Instead, they double checked each rim, while I waited, and came back with the same diagnosis. They explained to me how wheel balancing works, including concepts like static balancing and dynamic balancing. They rebalanced my wheels ($20 / each for a total of $80), and the car drove perfectly afterwards. I can't say enough about how pleased I am with these guys. They are honest about what needs to be fixed, and if you need something fixed, they make it as convenient for you as possible. Save yourself time, hassle, and money from unneeded repairs by going to these guys. read more

Superior Quality at a reasonable price. I own a 2008 Jeep Wrangler Sahara that came with 18" polished aluminum wheesl and the experts/artists at Wheel Tech modified my wheels to mimic the new Jeep Altitude wheels. This gave my jeep a transformational change and from my perspective they look better than the factory Mopar version of these wheels. I also had two wheels that have curb damage and this was repaired to like new look. I highly recommend the service Wheel Tech provides as an alternative to purchasing new wheels. With the results they deliver why bother with the expense of new wheels? read more

We had Wheel Tech powdercoat our Range Rover Sport's wheels to Satin Black, and we loved the results. We contacted Ryan prior to getting the work done, and he was very responsive. Since this was our first time powdercoating wheels, we had plenty of questions about color, shine, and durability. He helped us figure out what we were looking for and asked us questions we didn't even think of yet. Besides the wheels looking great, they were delivered on time and as promised. read more

Ryan and the other guys at Wheel Tech were able to repair a bent rim that was also cracked. They also road force balanced the rest of the set. Saved me from buying a new set of rims as the ones I have are no longer available. Remedied all the issues I've had due to the less than perfect roads in Chicago. This was all done when they said it would be and for a reasonable price. Call and make an appointment, these guys are busy. Plan on dropping off your wheels that need repair or have someone pick you up as there just isn't much around for you to do if you decide to wait. Highly recommend this business! read more

These guys are great. I hit a pothole and got a bent rim on my Acura MDX, and after trying a couple of body shops and tire shops, one sent me over to Wheel Tech to fix it instead of buying a whole new (expensive) rim. I'm so glad they did - Ryan was helpful, straightforward, and made it an easy experience. I'd take my car back here any day. read more

The gentlemen at Wheel Tech are top-notch professionals! They recently straightened a bent rim and balanced each of my car's wheels. The work was completed within a day (I called ahead to ensure availability) and with great care, all for a very reasonable price. They are no amateurs and have been in business for many years, with good reason. They use an up-to-date Hunter Road Force machine to make sure your wheels are perfectly balanced and their rim-straightening tech truly is excellent. I must recommend this business to anyone whose wheels need attention, whether it's to straighten, refinish/repair, or simply to balance a wobbly wheel. Great guys! read more

My dealer wanted $400 plus service to replace a bent wheel. I found this place online, took my car in, and they repaired my wheel in less than 24 hours, saving me almost $300 in the process. They were very knowledgeable and even more friendly. I strongly recommend taking your bent rims to Wheel Tech before buying a new wheel. My dealer never told me that getting a rim straightened was even an option. I highly recommend these guys. read more

These guys know what's up. I drove 14hours into town from CO for 3 days for a family wedding (I like to drive), the last hour of which I encountered a veritable SINK hole at ~75 mph. I thought I'd bent at least 1 unobtanium RS6+ wheel, cried for a bit, then called these guys up. Long story short, I had one day to fix the issue. I brought the wheel in at 9AM on Saturday, got a call at 11 saying my steel-belted tires were shot, grabbed new tires, they straightened my wheel WITHOUT damaging the powdercoat (!), mounted and balanced beautifully IN ONE DAY. I was back on the road on Sunday at 6am and all is well. Service was excellent, I think they powdercoated or straightened 5+ other sets of wheels that day, Wheel Tech should be getting Tax breaks from IL DOT or something.. Thank You, again and again. I would recommend you guys to anyone and everyone. eric read more

Refinished two wheels, look like new! Excellent customer service, car ready when promised. Highly recommend Wheel Tech.

RECONSIDER HAVING WHEELS REPAIRED HERE On 4/19/14 I brought two of my original equipment Acura TL wheels to have minor cosmetic damage repaired at Wheel Tech-Rim Repair Center in Highland Park Illinois. One wheel had light scuffing on 12 inches of the exterior rim lip. The second wheel was missing about an inch by .3 of an inch of aluminum on the exterior lip, the rim lip needed to be weld filled. If it wasn't for these pothole abrasions these wheels looked great. After two weeks Dave at Wheel Tech-Rim Repair Center called to tell me the wheel work completed. When I arrived I made a comment the wheels look "darker" than they should be. Ryan and Dave claimed the wheels are pretty close. I drove home and just as I thought, they refinished the wheels into a black gunmetal color. The original wheels are gray gunmetal color. I removed one of the original wheels and set it next to the wheels they refinish took pictures and emailed them in regards to the issue. They wanted to know how to proceed and I told them I would drive back up with one of the wheels they hadn't worked on. When I arrived they looked at my wheels and said they're off a few shades. I left them the wheels and waited another 2 weeks. I had to call them to see if they're done when I called, they said yes they are done, I told them I will be up to pick him up after work. When I arrived and inspected the wheels the wheel spokes no longer matched my original wheel and the color was still darker. Ryan stated he worked his but off on the wheels, they are close. I said you want me to say this is acceptable that my wheels not the same the color and the spokes don't even match anymore. Ryan didn't give an solid resolution, I told them I am not leaving the wheels with them again it's been over a month since they've been working on them. Brought them a sample and it's worse.

I decided to take my mother's Nissan Altima in for some minor repairs for a Christmas present. She's not the best driver, and it was apparent the car needed some love. Her rims were bent pretty badly on the right side (parking lessons anyone?) so I took it into a place near her for an estimate. I was told the rims and tires would need to be completely replaced and got a quote for well over a grand. PASS! I recently noticed the signage of Wheel Tech and thought I'd try them; they told me I did NOT need new tires and they repaired the rims to look like new! They also saved me almost $800 from the initial estimate I got from a Car Repair center which shall not me named (hint: don't take yer car ANYWHERE in Glenview.) They did a great job, in a timely matter (was able to pick the car up the following day) and the mom was pleased. I'd recommend this place to folks on the North Shore, and if you're coming up north from the city, it would also be an ideal place for you as well. read more

Ryan was great. I had a slow leak that the dealer couldn't find. I thought perhaps my wheel was bent. Nope, tiny puncture that Wheel Tech found, when the dealer couldn't. Good news I now know the problem. Bad news, due to location I need a new tire. They charged me a minimal fee and I was on my way. This is the place I will go if I have my rims redone. Very professional and fast service. read more

Had my Tesla rims repaired after damage during shipping. Quick turnaround, good communication by Ryan throughout the experience. Rims look great, powder coating matched well and seemed reasonably priced. Would recommend the service. read more

Professional and honest. Was very pleased at the fast turnaround. And great attitudes from everyone I spoke with. I highly recommend them. read more

Been going to them for years for any wheel repair and tire mounting. Wheel always came out better than new, and they are able to perfectly match the OEM paint if you have stock wheels. They do charge quite a bit for tire mounting, but I feel much better with them than some generic tire shops that will scratch up your expensive wheels. read more

I had some damaged one of my wheels going over a curb, a small portion of the wheel was damaged, and had in turn managed to slice the tire. I took it to a couple of places where I was told I need to send it in for repairs costing over $200, I then went to wheel tech, they checked the wheel, and confirmed there was nothing wrong with it, it just needed a bit of sanding, and it should be good again, and I can get it done at the tire shop when they install a new tire. Hats off to his honesty!!! Will go to wheel tech anytime I run into any issues, and will recommend them to anyone who has wheel trouble. Thank you Wheel Tech!!! read more

Some d-bag valet scraped up the rims to the passenger side of my BMW's rims. That was an extremely sad moment. It got worse when I realized the deductible was way too high to let insurance cover it. Went to Wheel Tech and it was fixed within 2 days and a fraction of the cost. read more

Great result, great price, great service, great people. Would recommend Wheel Tech to anyone.

Went there and they were professional, affordable and quick... couldn't ask for any more!

Great service, great guys. Highly recommended. My 2005 530I had two sets of bent wheels, both the summer and the winter set. The car had a pretty significant wobble.But after having both sets serviced at wheel tech at a very reasonable price, problem solved. Rides like its brand new again. Cheers! read more

So very happy I found this place. Prior to coming here my 17 year old BMW always had a little bit of a wheel shake. Tried many places to have my wheels balanced and reconditioned but it was never quite right. Once I came here, their reconditioning and road force balance made my 17 year old car drive like it was new! No even a bit of shake, I am so ecstatic! read more

After hitting another pothole, in addition to needing a new tire, the rim was bent to an extent that I either needed a new one or have it fixed. A new rim would be $650. No way. So luckily I found Wheel Tech. I took my car in, had them put the spare on and in just a few hours my rim was ready. I have a lot of curb rash on my rims so I wasn't looking to have them refinished and Ryan (owner) said I'd be able to see where the rim was straightened. Honestly, when I saw the rim after the repair, I had to look extra close to see where it was bent because they did such a great job. Bottom line is that Wheel Tech did a fantastic job for a great price. I am very satisfied and recommend them highly. read more

I have taken my business to Wheel-Tech a few times now and am so incredibly happy that this shop exists! They have fixed pretty bad curb rash on a rare and expensive set of Volk GT30 Wheels for me perfectly and recently were able to help me fix a mistake on a custom set of SSR wheels that another shop made in mounting tires that did not fit. Two other specialized shops were unable to perform this work and Wheel-Tech not only were able, but also saved the tires and me a lot of money in the process. Thank you for your quality work and attention to detail Wheel-Tech! read more

I recently had 4 cast wheels on my Audi S4 repaired and refinished at Wheel-Tech on SKokie Rd, off Rte 22. They did a fabulous job; wheels look like new. With Chicago roads, winters, pot holes, bad car washes and valet-curbing.......damaged wheels make expensive cars look bad! For around $90 per wheel, these guys make them look new. Really good job and one-day service. read more

This place was highly recommended to me by a friend, i had no idea that bent Rims could be repaired so i went over their and talked to the owner was extreamly friendly and helpfull, he looked at the bent Rim and recomended to fix it and refinish the surface. it was done quickly and the work was very professional the wheel is new again, so if you have a bad rim go their. I too highly recommend wheel- tech. read more

Just had the rims on my cherry 1990 BMW 750i Euro painted. Wow. They are the old 5-spoke gun metal color. They came out great and for less than $100 per wheel. This is the place to go. Very informative professional and friendly. The place was full of BMW's and Porsches so they must be trusted by a lot of high-end car owners. read more

Fixed 3 rims out of 4 good after a whole week. The 4th one still has different colors. The worst problem was that I needed a brake job after painting the rotors. At least they care. read more

I went today to pick up my 2 Bmw M rims that they where bend and i left them to get fix.I told the guy I want to spin them on the machine so i can see if they are fixed (a simple thing) and he got mad about how i can request something like that.He told me first let figure out payment and then we can do that.When i saw on the paper that the price was different from the website and from what he told me at the beginning and i ask them why is different he went ballistic...he started yelling at me that we are not negotiating,that where i'm coming from with this things (i'm not American i have an accent)that I can't take my wheels until i pay that amount,and then he went in the shop and told the other guy that I don't want to pay...(i just asked a simple question,I think i have the right to ask)..This in not the way u talk to your clients and I think he has a serious mental problem.I want them also installed on the car he told me that is extra when clearly on they're website says the price include the cost of mounting, dismounting, and Hunter Road Force Balancing the rim after we straighten it.At this moment i just wanted to leave i told him that I'm going to pay and that im taking my rims to a different shop to get them installed because I don't want to deal with them anymore.So if u want to get treated like a piece of s.... go to this place.Never in my 5 years in America i was treated like this...i I don't know how good they fixed the rims i just left mad as hell.Stay away from this place!!! read more
