One of my discontinued damage chrome Work Meister S1 1piece which happen to be irreplaceable as it's no longer in production which prevented me from buying a new one with the same spec and offset. The rim had one major bend in it, another one that was barely noticeable and it turns there was several additional small bends as Charlie was pointed them out while he put the rim on the roller. Charlie fixed all of the bends and I can't even see where all of the the bends were as if it was never there. Charlie took the time to preserve the chrome finish on the lips of the rim where the damages were, didn't damage the decal sticker on the rim, remove some minor curb rash and polished the rim which is more beyond than great customer service. Charlie even took customer service to another level by going ahead and cleaned the inner lips of the rim so that when the tire get mounted back on it'll properly seal the air preventing any air leak due to debris stuck onto the inner side of the rim. As a heads up your tire will need to be removed off your damage rim before heading to his shop as he don't provide this specific service at his shop. To get an honest opinion for people whose reading my review I've posted a picture of my damage wheel after it has been repaired @Charlie's Rim Repair shop with the tire mounted which you won't even noticed, or guess where the damages are prior to the repair. Charlie's repair shop price isn't cheap but this is the shop for your high end wheels to get repaired weather it has multiple bends in it, or crack the correct way the first time but it's worth the trip if your not local within the Modesto area. I doubt any other wheel repair shops could've have repaired my wheel to be truly rounded and kept its original finish as much as possible compared to Charlie's Rim Repair shop and the trip from San Jose to Modesto was so worth it. Again thank you Charlie for the awesome service!

One word...WOW! Another word... Complete pro (two words, I know )On Thursday afternoon, I found out my rim was damaged and the tire wouldn't hold air. I was sad. However, Les Schwab in Turlock recommended Charlie and said, "Text him a picture, he'll send you a quote back."I sent him a picture, he sent me a price and I arranged to bring it in (no tire on the rim, by the way... Charlie's Rim Repair, NOT Rim and Tire Repair). This was at 445pm on Thursday.Brought it in at 8am and it was done by 10am. The rim looked better than new, it was completed very fast, and Charlie was friendly and a complete pro.Long story longer, I'd give six stars if I could...

I had such an amazing experience dealing with Charlie. He was fast, professional, and true to his work! I read all these amazing reviews and decided to give him a call because I really needed help, my rim was destroyed.He not only brought my rim back to life, but it looks brand new like the day I bought the car and I couldn't be happier with the results!Thank you Charlie for saving me a ton of money!

Due to a gnarly pot hole, My wheel was bent in 2 different places real bad. A new wheel replacement was $750 dollars and Mr. Charlie was recommended by a friend. He charged us way less to repair our wheel and we can't even tell where it was bent in the first place. He saved us over $500. He got us in and out same day as well. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a wheel repair or replacement. Before and after posted.

Amazing service ! This is the 2nd time I've worked with Charlie and it won't be the last ! I bent the rim to my 2013 e 350 mercedes benz no one had the tools for the job , but Charlie did ! A few months later I bent a different wheel on the same car ! Charlie was able to get me fixed up and rolling nice ! I would not take my damaged wheels anywhere else! Charlie is the man ! Thank you so much Charlie I'm so grateful you are in business ! Recommending every one to Charlie!

I was in in accident back in late August, the edges of my iroc-z rims got eaten up pretty bad and a couple of them were bent, needed new tires too. Went to America s Tire on Standiford and they recommended Charlie s Rim Repair on Princeton for my rim repair needs. I took them over to Charlie and discussed what occurred in my accident and he seemed confident he could repair the rims. After only a couple days he was done and my rims turned out looking absolutely phenomenal. I was pretty shocked rims could be repaired in such a way, solid work done by Charlie. I appreciate him and his hard work and experience. I highly recommend rolling through his shop if you need repairs on a chipped up/bent rim.Thank you sir!

These Forgiato rims don t run cheap so a slow leak combined with low profile tires and you can guess what can happen on a trip. Brought the rim in to Charlie, he machined the inner lip seal to remove any chrome pealing and corrosion. Had the rim done an hour later for $80.00 - well worth the price and I would highly recommend his services. Well versed on all things Rims!Rod

Got it in an accident a while back and 1 wheel was damaged. After about a month of working with insurance and body shop they said the wheel couldn't be repaired and no replacement available so gad to but 4 new wheels. Made the mistake of buying chrome. After 2 years there was a slow leak tire shop brushed and beaded and after the first time they said I would have to replace. Then i found Charlie he not only fixed the chrome wheel but also said he was able to fix the original aluminum wheel. In the end I saved money and was grateful for such a professional solution. Just wish I would have talked to Charlie from the beginning. Extremely satisfied I would highly recommend and am on my way to having 2 full sets of wheels

After searching around quite a bit, I came across Charlie's Rim Repair in Modesto. He did a fantastic job fixing my rim at a very fair price. I had a broken off bolt to my rim cap that was stripped in place, he was able to repair the rim so the cap could be put into place. He saved me from having to replace my rim, and ultimately saved me about $300. Great work, great service, I would trust Charlie to take care of all my rim repairs.

Charlie was very helpful and kind. I didn't even know getting your rim fixed was an option. The service was reasonably quick and inexpensive. His pricing scale is based on rim size and dent size. Before taking my car to Charlie I had taken it to Les Schwab where they quoted me over $600 for a new rim which didn't even include shipping or labor. I only paid $200 for Charlie to fix it. Another thing I loved is the fact that I just had to text him a picture of my rim and he was able to give me a rough estimate but most importantly let me know that he could fix it which is extremely helpful to me seeing as how I live 45mins away in Los Banos. Highly recommend!

Went in for a curb rash repair on one of my rays gramlights 57dr wheels. Charlie was very knowledgeable and it was more than evident he knew exactly what he needed to do to my wheel. The repair done was flawless. As soon as he saw my damaged wheel he said to me, don t worry after i m done it ll look like it never happened. Sure enough after he was done, it looked like it never happened. Good as new. 10/10 service. Definitely recommend. Also thought I would note, another customer came in with a cracked wheel while i was there and Charlie unfortunately had to refuse to service said cracked wheel due to the wheel being no longer safe to drive on as its structural integrity had been compromised. Its nice to see this man looks out for the safety of his customers instead of only looking out for his pockets. Again, 10/10 service, will be returning in the future for my wheel repair needs.

Charlie did an amazing job repairing my curb rash in so little time. The rim looks like new and like it was never damaged. I would have to highly recommend taking your rims to his place if they need repairs.

Wow just wow the best craftsmanship I've ever seen he takes his time and does it right the first time. I had curb rash on my mini cooper from a lady driving on her phone glue to her face and was drifting into my lane as I was turning and the only option was to take a curb to the wheel. Charlie was VERY smart knows everything with wheels and paint, it was 200$ for fairy bad curb rash reasonable and it took about 2 hours but its well worth the wait.

I had curb rash on one of my rims and Charlie was so patient and friendly through the whole process. Some people forget the importance of good customer service but Charlie shows what customer service should be. I also expected to pay so much more but his price was a great surprise. If I need his services again I will go to him heart beat.

This guy is a class act!!! Cocky...but only in his confidence and ability to give you the best workmanship possible and yes, it does come with a price!!! WELL WORTH IT!!!I tried haggling him and saying I would leave a 5 star review and he came back at me with the best comeback I've ever heard...."I don't buy reviews.....I let my workmanship show for itself" and yes, he delivers!!! Whatever you do, GO SEE CHARLIE!!! He's certified and legit, not some tweeker trying to make a buck. If a Tire Store Chain RECOMMENDED me to him, he MUST be good!Needless to say, I am VERY pleased with my results and all I had him do was straighten 1 22" rim which was bent in 3 places and now is %100 trued. Thank You Charlie, I will DEFINATELY recommend you to everyone I see!!!! 10/10

I had a minor incident and the inside of my wheel had a minor bend. I gave Charlie a visit and instead of just taking my money, he let me know that his new state of the art wheel machine was coming within the next few weeks. He recommended that I wait for that machine to come in so that it can straighten my high end wheel properly without compromising its integrity. When the new machine arrived, he let me know that he probably will not be working on customer wheels for a few days on that machine so that he can test spare wheels and get the hang of perfecting the machine and its features. When I finally dropped off my wheel, it only took a few hours to fix and Charlie was even putting in some overtime to work on it. I appreciate your help Charlie. Keep on the great work!

I had googled Charlie s Rim Repair. When I spoke to Charlie on the phone... it was on a Saturday. He had already took in more work, than just himself could handle. Unfortunately... he could not take my job for at least a week. Note: Charlie s shop is about 50 miles from my residence. But after talking to Charlie... he knew rims! I didn t want anyone else working on my rims. Your honesty, your professionalism and your knowledge simply stands out. Charlie comes reputable and highly requested... don t sleep on this guy!

I took my cracked rim to Charlie and he did a wonderful job repairing the crack AND he fixed a couple of holes in the rim that I hadn't even noticed. The work was done quickly and at a great price. Always good to see a business owner who cares about his customers.Thank you!

Nicest guy you will ever meet, above and beyond customer service, I drove over 2 hours to his shop, not knowing I had to remove my tire from the rim to repair it, he jacked up my truck, took the tire off, drove his truck to the tire shop had the tire removed from the rim, drove back to his shop, repaired the rim, drove back to the tire shop, had the rim remounted and balanced, drove back to his shop (where my truck was), mounted the wheel back on my truck with no complaint and a smile, now THAT is customer service, if that is notgreat customer service, I don't know what is, just an all round great guy
