Wheel repair for Irvine is handled at our Costa Mesa shop, a straight run down the 73 or the 405. More EVs come to us from Irvine than from anywhere else in the county.
What we see from Irvine
EVs, in volume. Irvine runs newer than most of Orange County, and that shows in the work — Tesla Model 3 and Model Y wheels are a steady share of what comes in, along with Rivian, Polestar and the German EVs. These cars kerb more easily than their combustion equivalents: they are heavier, they run low-profile tyres on large flush-fitting wheels, and low-speed manoeuvring happens with much less feedback.
Machined faces. Late-model German and EV wheels are disproportionately diamond-cut, which cannot be repaired with paint — the face has to be re-cut on a lathe. See diamond-cut wheel repair. If your wheel face has fine concentric rings in it, that is what you have.
Aero covers — check first
If you are in a Model 3 or Model Y with Gemini wheels, pull the plastic aero cover off before you book anything. A good number of kerb strikes only damage the cover and leave the alloy underneath untouched. That is a much cheaper conversation, and we would rather tell you that than quote you for work you do not need.
What we handle
Curb rash, bent rims, diamond-cut restoration, powder coating and colour changes, caliper paint, chrome delete.

Common questions
Do you repair Tesla wheels for Irvine customers?
Yes, and they are a large share of the Irvine work — Model 3, Model Y, Model S and Model X, including Induction, Uberturbine and Gemini designs. Cosmetic curb rash is repaired rather than replaced.
How do I know if my wheel is diamond-cut?
Look at the face in direct light. Very fine concentric rings, like grooves on a record, mean a machined or diamond-cut face — those must be re-cut on a lathe, not painted.
How far is the shop from Irvine?
The Costa Mesa shop is a straight run down the 73 or the 405, typically fifteen to twenty minutes depending on where in Irvine you start.
