Thumbs up Wheel Techniques experience

After a year of having wheel damage to my front left due to a stupid pot hole on 85, I decided to take it to Wheel Techniques based on recommendations from this club.

I can honestly say that they did a GREAT job. The wheel looks awesome as it once did before the damage. I cannot find the damaged area at all. My only regret was that I didn't repair it earlier. They even replaced a missing bolt that's been MIA for 2 years now. Workers there were very nice and easy to talk to. They seemed very very busy...and that's a good thing.

Knowing that this place exists actually gives me more confidence in buying more expensive wheels. My wheels, WEDS Farmas, are one piece and not that expensive relative to others in this club. Oh look....I'm already starting to justify spending more money on more modifications....It'll never end....

Glad everything worked out well for ya Lawrence.

NOW you know why it is SOOO EZ for some of us to buy expensive wheels. That shop gives us piece of mind that small accidents don't have to cost us an arm and a leg.


Though they almost never see HRE wheels at their shop. There is a reason why.

A lot of SUV wheels in there tho That's their core business .

John is a savior. Known those guys for a real long time. They're still around. Glad to see they're expanding their services too. Try to get in there every couple months. Everytime I go in John's like, check this finish out. Look we're powdercoating now, check out the quality. They are meticulous and have saved quite a many some good change.

Thumbs Up to Wheel Techiniques.

www.wheeltechniques.com

Most repairs hover around $100+ unless the bend is small and doesn't require machining & re-polishing.

Let me know when you are dropping by, they are around the corner from me so I might meet up with ya.
