I’m looking for a wheel repair shop in the LA area. Unfortunately it seems one of the front wheels on my Audi has gone a bit out of round. It balances fine, but on the balance machine you can watch the inner wheel face fluctuate a bit as it rotates. There isn’t any obvious damage to the wheel lip, but I did pop a tire recently, although that was on the outer face so I’m not sure if it is the cause of the inner face being out of round or not. Anyways, if anyone has a recommendation on a wheel repair shop in the area please let me know. Many thanks!

Thanks @pirahna , I reached out to them and John gave me a recommendation for this specific repair, so if anyone else is looking for some other shops for this, these are in the surrounding area but since they’re IE/OC it’s still drivable:

Southern Cal Wheel Repair
Ontario, CA · (714) 399-6002


Southern Cal Wheel Repair
Orange, CA · (714) 399-6002

Dunno why the copy/paste went bad in my other post, probably because I’m on mobile, but here’s the shop name:

Southern Cal Wheel Repair
714-399-6002

They have a location down in the OC, and also in Ontario. I went to the one in Ontario. It turns out my wheel didn’t just have one spot out of round, but rather a total of three lol. LA roads are so bad or Audi alloy sucks, not sure which, or both lol. They got the wheel round again, and checked for cracks, all good. Now the vibrations at highway speed are gone. Cost was $140.

If you ask Jack at Scientific, the dude they use is super good. I used European Auto Haus on Walnut when I had my Audi and they were super good but I never did wheel repair. However, Jack (at Scientific) had my wheels refinished when I got new tires and they look amazing.
