help! wheels shop in bay area

Help! I got my wheels repair but the paint do not match. Do anybody know any good wheel technicians do excellent work on infiniti wheels? I have a bad experience with one of the wheel repair shop in santa clara...bad service, bad paint, bad overall.

Here's the number

Dvong,

I found this shop when looking to have my rims repair. I haven't got my rims repaired yet so I don't know the quality of their work I emailed them and ask them about rim repair and paint match for our G's, here is part of his reply

"We currently are the only shop that fixes those wheels correctly.
We use the factory 4 stage paint. We have a 3 stage cleaning process. We have NEVER had a case in which the wheel paint has peeled.
We hold the infiniti account because of this perfect match."

I never had a price quote from wheels techniques but from what I found on the forum, I think their price is similar if not the same.

Let us know if you decide to give them a try. Here is their info:

KwickSilver Wheel Pros
476 5th St. (between Harrison + Bryant)
San Francisco, CA 94107
415-543-5945
kwicksilversf@gmail.com

Good luck!
gdo

i've had success with Wheels America in union city - but they didn't have to repaint my wheel, thank got - just righted the polished lip.

btw, my wheels are on sale hella cheap - wanna upgrade?

My Dealer here in Fairfield uses Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists. Their a mobile service. They'll come to you, but probably cheaper if you go to them.
Think they have two locations near me, Sac and Novato, but could have more in your area. Haven't used them personally, too lazy to get curb rash fixed on my stock 19. Plus now have new rims anyway, but if Dealer uses them, they must do good work I would think.
Reasearch their web site:
www.mobilewheelreair.com
Good Luck
