There are very few places in Austin to have your rims repaired onsite. Last autumn, a mechanic referred me to this place. Ken responded via text and gave me a quote for 1 rim that was slightly bent and causing vibrations at high speeds. He finished the job on time with a pretty quick turnaround and sent pics as requested. He is nice and also very direct. His small shop can be a little confusing to find at first. Anyhow, the side that the rim was repaired runs smooth like butter. The vibration is still present but on the other side so will need to save that for another day. Before and after pics for reference.

Wow, my wheels are new again! First two photos are the “after” and the last two photos are examples of the damage I had on two of my tires on my Tesla Model Y. Austin Wheel Repair did amazing work for a reasonable price! Highly recommend!

Ken (Owner) is a Blue Collar man. Sure he’s rough around the edges but knows his trade in and out and does AMAZING work !!! He was able to get me in on a moments notice and had an amazing turnaround of only 24 hours which is unheard of these days. My repair was a crack on my wheel after hitting a pot hole at night. My wheels are extremely hard to get and getting a new one was not an option. Ken took his time to take extra precautions not to damage the wheel during removal and reinstalling and when I picked it up it looked like i just took it out of the box. He didn’t have to clean the wheel but he takes pride in his work and pride on making your wheels and their repair story an extension of his business and skill set. I will 100% refer him to everyone I know that is in need of his service and I am definitely a life long customer!

Honestly, I had my concerns when leaving my car to get the work done bc of his location but I'm glad I did the work done to my wheels was great! Instead of buying new black Denali wheels for my 2021 Yukon I decided to have my wheels refinished to save time and money. The level of work that Ken applied to my wheels was great and I couldn't be happier, I 100% recommended him for whatever your wheel needs may be. Attached is proof that he is the real deal.

Ken at Austin Wheel Repair does an amazing job. I went to him because I had two scraped rims on my stock 2015 Kia K900. Since they were chrome painted, no other shop could help me out. I called up Ken, he said he could sand them down and repaint them to match and install and balance the tires I had just ordered, all for under $800. To replace the rims alone would have cost that. We decided to play around with colors and came up with a grey-black look, which I like much more on the car than the regular chrome look. Ken may not have the fanciest shop in the best part of town, but he does great work in a decent amount of time and will work with you on the price. I've paid close to $400 in the past to get one rim fixed on a BMW, so compared, his pricing is great. I would definitely recommend him, especially if you have a job that other shops can't fix. I would definitely go back to him in the future (hopefully not lol) to fix curb rash or to put tires on. Give him a call.

Excellent work! We brought our Range Rover in, and the rims were in bad shape. After the work was completed, the vehicle looked brand new! Highly recommended, and great quality. We also changed the color of the rims! Exceptional workmanship and attention to detail. Before pics=Silver After pics=Black

Ken did a great job with my Cadillac. I showed up on a Monday morning, had my car back Wednesday afternoon. Great service with great results and I'd recommend him to anyone.

Bent rim fixed with 24hrs. I was told I’d need a new rim and new tire by a dealership. The owner advised my tire is fine and the rim could be fixed no problem. Been about 3 weeks with no further issues, saving me hundreds. The owner absolutely rocks and went above expectations. Coming here for any and all future rim repair needs.

Ken runs his business effectively and fast. He is eager to get right to work. He personally does each job himself so please make sure to have a picture of the damage when your are ready to do business. Always answers the phone and knowledgeable in this field.

Ken did a spectacular job truing up my bent forged wheel and refinishing the set to a beautiful Gunmetal grey finish. All 4 wheels refinished, balanced, and mounted, and i had my car back in less than 48 hours. Hopefully I don't need this service again, but I would not hesitate to return to this business for wheel repair/refinish

Absolutely blew me away! I am very meticulous about my car. I had my Stance Wheel repaired here and I cannot even TELL where the repair is. My wheel is a custom, semi gloss bronze. Hard to match....but...It matches the other wheels PERFECTLY! Do yourself and don't go anywhere else.

In a recent rainstorm, I encountered a soccer ball size rock that had fallen from a cliff on 2222. My front right wheel took the rock and instantly lost all air and upon removing it, I could see that the wheel was bent in which caused the tire to deflate. I brought the wheel to AWR around 11am Wednesday and it was literally better than new when I picked it up at 4pm Thursday. Would highly recommend these folks if you have a similar situation! (PS. I forgot to take after-images but the wheel really is as good as new and I'm thinking of having my other 3 cleaned by these folks so they all match.)

This guy spent more time looking at my tire than the wheel needing repair. Waste of time take your business elsewhere. Minor repair needed I will do it myself.

I recommend Ken with no reservations. Excellent welder. My Panamera wasn’t driving quite “right.” My mechanic suspected this was related to some dents he saw on my wheels. Reached out to German Auto, who recommended Ken. Called on a Wednesday, scheduled for Thursday, picked it up on Friday, just in time for a road trip. Car drives nice and smooth like it’s supposed to, and for a great price. If you need your wheels replaced in Austin, go here. Final comment. Maybe I’m old school, but I quite liked Ken’s company and demeanor. We stood around for 30m after my car was done talking fast cars and old times. He didn’t waste a lot of time on the phone when we scheduled, and I think as a solo business owner, he juggles a lot of balls to turn around jobs quickly. This guy’s cool, trust.

Very friendly guy Mr Ken . Awesome job. Too my BMW 7 series to fix both front rims and I am impressed; car rides way smoother than before. Saved over $3k from dealer qoute. Call them to set up an appointment and turn around time is 2 days in most cases . Highly recommend

These guys did a great job. My son's rim was leaking air. This place beat the other store's price by almost 100 cheaper and they had it fixed the following day. César was great to work with.

Quality service all the way around! Ken is it! Rims look brand new! Camera on my phone is busted or else I would supply photos, trust when I say, they look brand new! Such a better deal to fix rims vs buying new and it’s awesome to support a local business. Thank you, Ken!!!

Ignore the bad reviews. If you want someone to talk nice to you on the phone and make you feel good....there are other services for that. This man is busy working and running his shop himself. And the work he does is absolutely fantastic. He saved me several THOUSAND dollars from having to replace an entire set of off road rims. He immediately recognized and diagnosed a problem that several other tire and rim shops missed. He fixed the rim and made it like brand new again. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone with a rim problem, and will absolutely be using his services again should I ever have need to.

The owner Ken is very unprofessional. Extremely rude, and borderline tries to play you for a fool. Tried calling multiple times through out the week just for him to respond with an indignant tone. Beware he may charge you more than 275$ or the official invoice he sends after you’ve dropped the car off.
