Orlando at Long Island Rims knocked it out of the park!!I used Long Island Rims about four years ago on my older SUV and they did a great job so I decided to go back with my new baby.I had road rash to a lesser or more degree on all of my rims due to low profile tires with a couple of mishaps.I also always thought my stock color of the rims would of looked better slightly lighter in tone to match the chrome accents better. I expressed this to Orlando and he made a custom color that in my opinion is better than the color that it came with.He worked super hard as my rims were larger (and heavier) than he anticipated but still did an amazing job!Great service, price and quality!Attached are the before picture and the car now!Definitely give them a call if you re looking for rim repair or color change!

Super happy with the result!!! The rims are looking brand new straight from factory. These guys are professional and knowledgeable, nice and patient with all my questions. Overall an awesome experience: sand blasting, making sure the rims are nice and straight with machines, powder coating, tire balancing, new tires mounting all in a same day service. Will go again with my other set of rims soon.

After 10 years of curb rash and general wear it was time to Look into making my rims look new again. After much research and comparing many rim places in Queens and Long Island I decided on LONG ISLAND RIM. One of the best decisions I ve made recently. They completely changed the whole look of my ride and made them new again. They even fixed some warped rims which I didn t know about and now my car even rides smoother as well as looks amazing. I dropped my car off in the morning and they were done by the end of the day. The customer service there is great as well. Do yourself a favor and check them out. Just one caveat is as of August 2022 they did not take credit cards so I had to pay with my debit card through Zelle. So if you want to pay by credit card just confirm they take them before you make your appointment or make sure you have enough in your account to cover the cost.

I was searching all day for a rim shop after my wife scratched the rims of my new car. They had my rim ready for me the same day and it only took 4 hours. I posted the picture of before and after I can not even tell where the hell the scratch was ! Exceptional quality and I was surprised how affordable they are.

Listen people, if you ever need to get your rims expertly repaired then this place is definitely where you need to go. I had bent rims that were all scratched up and looking messy and decided to take the drive over there to check it out. I wasn t disappointed because when I returned for my car I almost didn t believe those were my rims. They were all looking brand new and car drove so smoothly after. You will never get this quality job for such a price anywhere else, trust me. Nuff respect to Carl and Orlando. Keep up the good work

Having owned a 2003 Corvette Z06 since new in addition to being a gear head, I m very careful with who I trust to do any work on my vehicle. The crew at Long Island Rim were able to take my original wheels that had 19 years worth of road rash and make them absolutely look like new, if not even better! Two rims required welding in order to rebuild the lip, which was done so well you cannot see where the repair was made. The color for the powder coating had to be custom mixed to match the OE center caps, and as you can tell from the pictures, these guys absolutely nailed it. In the world we live in, it is rare to find people with honesty, integrity and character, but that s exactly what you get at Long Island Rim. I ve already referred two of my close friends that are also gear heads, and will continue to do so. Full transparency, my interaction with LI Rim is quite possibly the best experience I ve ever had with any company in the automotive industry.

They do amazing work! Honest, QUALITY and fast service best describes this place. I brought them a set of really old Audi wheels that were trashed. I got them back and they looked OEM fresh. Very happy customer here. Highly recommend them!

Carl and Freddie were able to machine the center bore of my OEM Mitsubishi wheels to fit the hubs of my JDM Delica van. Turnaround was quick and price was more than fair. These guys are great and have been around for years - they did an excellent job refinishing an S2000 wheel I needed as well. Definitely recommend giving them a call for your wheel machining/repair needs.

The guys at LI Rim were a pleasure to deal with and did a great job on my cars. I had all 4 wheels repaired and summer tires mounted on my RS5, and I had the wheels on my Golf R powder coated. Freddie and Carl take a lot of pride in their work are great to work with. I highly recommend this shop.

Took my 370z wheels to get reconditioned and powdercoated at Long Island Rim. I was amazed by the quality of the work and the friendliness of these guys. They were great and even helped me pick a fantastic color. I was considering aftermarket wheels but now I love the way these wheels make my car look. I recommend Long Island Rim for all your rim repair needs. GREAT PRICES! GREAT QUALITY!

Honestly one of the few auto shops I can trust in NY. They will definitely give you 110%. They turned my curb rashed rims back to looking brand new. Awesome work!

I have a 12-year-old Mercedes and the rims were really looking their age, so I took my car to Carl in Freeport at Long Island Rim Repair, and I highly recommend his services, plus he is a straight talker which I appreciate too. I had all four rims refurbished for less than the cost of one new rim from Mercedes.

Had my summer X5 wheels done in the spring of 2022. After just one season one wheel is peeling, the others have some pitting. Contacted the shop, they asked me for receipt, but I paid cash. They asked me to send photos, which I did, and they never responded. Hate to write these reviews, but very disappointed. Oh, and when I got the wheels back to TPMS sensors had to be replaced, but I let that go. Perhaps this post will motivate the owner.

Had a set of BMW alloys that needed to get fixed, thanks to LONG ISLAND RIM for getting the job done. Wheels look near perfect round. Super fast service, and great price. Would recommend friends and go again for other rim repairs.10/10 communication, services, price.

Thank God for a place like this when inflation has skyrocketed. A new Mercedes rim is around $1200. Payment to fix my rim $150. Long Island rim is: #BestKeptSecretOnLongIsland#LikeNew

Carl and Freddy are stand up guys. Had him do a wheel bore job on my rims and he was honest enough to let me know that he only needed to do 2 of them as the other 2 were already at the required size. I would have never known. The wheels fit great. Will definitely do business with him in the future.

Carl does great work. He is direct, honest and fair. My Chrysler 300 rims look like they are factory after black powder coating. He also recommended wheel locks and he put them on for me later that day. I highly recommend LI Rim.

Excellent service, workmanship, and price! Long Island Rim Repair restored (powder coated) my 1993 Mustang rims back to factory condition (see photo) for $400. I highly recommend them and would go back in an instant.

Why even need a review? I guess that's the thing now! I have been repairing my wheels here for 20+ years! Spectacular service, always courteous, always punctual, really the best bang for your buck!! These guys, especially Karl and Franny absolutely make miracles! What incredible "expert make overs"It's almost like you don't even recognize your car once they put their magical hands on it! Highly recommended! Thank you so much for incredible work over the years!Karl, please don't retire!!!

Long Island Rim, best place on the island to get your rims reconditioned. Carl straightened and welded my old rims then powder coated them. He's honest and cheap, can't beat that anywhere. I highly recommend them. I'll be back.

Great experience and beautiful work. Had an appointment scheduled for 3 weeks and a few days later I had something come up so called and rescheduled without an issue. Dropped off my car at night, and picked it up the next day. Appreciated the fact that I can leave my car overnight, since a lot of places want you to bring the rims only for powder coating. The work came out amazing and I would highly recommend this place. If you need your rims powder coated this is the place. Reasonable pricing as well.

Where do I even begin? These guys are masters of their craft. They are dedicated to perfection and are absolutely amazing. Brought our Jeep in showing horrible corrosion from previous owners off roading, thinking these wheels were not going to ever look good. Not only is the corrosion gone but they were able to customize the rims adding an incredible two tone machine and black look, almost making these wheels look like different wheels altogether. They will take their time and make sure your wheels are PERFECT. If you re not 100% happy, they re not either. I will always recommend coming to see them for any rim related issues or upgrades. Thank you guys again!!!

I recently bought a used Mercedes Benz and I wanted to give it a fresh look so I decided to recondition the factory rims. I researched a lot of places (called/visited/read reviews, etc.) and at the end, I was convinced that Long Island Rim was the place to go. I met with Carl, the owner, such a polite and courteous man, where he explained the process, timeline and even logistics after I drop-off my car. He s a straight shooter and confident about the quality of his work. I decided to leave my car overnight and Carl even offered and drove me back home to my house such a gentleman. The next day, I picked my car and was extremely happy with the results. Carl even changed/upgraded my Mercedes wheel center caps at no cost! Check-out the before and after pictures. Both Carl and Frany take pride of their work you would want to go to a place where they deeply care about the quality of their own work. I have no problem spending my hard earned money at places where I get great value in return. Extremely happy with the service!!! Thank you Carl! Keep doing the great job!Disclosure: This is my fair and unbiased feedback. I did not get any compensation in return for writing this.

Great Service, and reasonable price. Carl the owner as well as Jimmy and Orlando very nice guys and honest as far as what needs to be done. I was diagnosed with 3 bent wheels from another auto shop and Carl was honest in telling me that I only needed 2 of them done at the fraction of the cost. The whole process is very transparent as well as everyone here is open to showing customers what they are doing for you each step of the way, will definitely recommend!

These guys did an amazing job. They took the rims on my 2014 IS 250 which were scratched and discolored and made them look brand new. They matched the factory color perfectly. Very happy with the work they did.

Excellent communication and service. I had my summer wheels and tires swapped out for a winter set just in time for the upcoming storm. They also fixed a curb rash on one wheel and it looks brand new. All in just a few hours. Thank you!

I had the luck of bending my rim b/c of a pot hole on the southern state on a Friday to say the least. Every place I called told me earliest pick up would be Tuesday and over 100 dollars. I luckily called these guys took me rim the same and beat the quotes by far. The rim was fixed within 3 hours if that. The people seem straight forward will definitely recommend them going forward!

I called and spoke to Carl, who was very nice to me on the telephone. I explained that my tires were losing air constantly and that my mechanic said I had bent rims. He told me I could come in straight from work. I got there at 6pm and was taken immediately. Everyone was nice and they fixed both of my rims while I waited. I definitely recommend this shop to whoever needs their rims fixed. They are very nice and their work is exceptional and you can't beat their prices.
