Default Bent wheel, looking for a repair shop in SoCal

I hit a pothole last night and was able to tell right off the bat that the wheel was bent or out of balance from the incident. I took it to Longo Lexus this morning and they showed me that the wheel was bent with a slight hop in it. They also said it was repairable and that they use a wheel shop nearby known as American Wheel and Tire and that they would do it for around $120 and would need the car for 3 days.

My question is, is that a fair price? How is that shop's reputation? What shops do you guys recommend to fix the wheel.

Some more info: The wheels are Linea Corse LC818's. Im guessing that the wheel brand new to replace would be around $330 +

TIY for your thoughts and suggestions.

i would say if it cost more than half the cost of the wheel to buy another rim..then its your best bet to just suck it up and buy a new one..
also im going to give son a call soon..for some reason my wheels have paint missing near the center cap in a perfect circle

It ranges, depending on the condition typically. I would give him a call, he's normally always busy or booked.
