Wheel repair for the trade
For the people who move cars for a living. Ace Auto Recon runs a mobile wheel shop that comes to your lot, your bay, your storage yard or your customer's driveway anywhere in Los Angeles County. Curb rash, scuffed faces, peeling clear coat, mismatched finishes — corrected on site, usually same day, at trade pricing that beats sending wheels out.

A wheel that never leaves the lot can't slow the sale
The car stays on the lot
No crating, no courier, no multi-day round trip to an off-site refinisher. Our truck arrives with the equipment, the finishes and the curing gear. The vehicle stays in your inventory, front-line ready, and keeps its spot in the row.
Repair instead of replace
A single wheel can run several hundred dollars and up before mounting. Correcting curb rash or a worn finish is a fraction of that, and across a four-wheel set the difference is usually the entire recon margin on the unit.
Finishes that hold up on the walk-around
We work in a wide range of factory finishes — silver, hyper silver, gunmetal, machined face, gloss and satin black, charcoal, bronze — and match the factory color as closely as possible so a corrected wheel is consistent with the other three.
Volume pricing, one invoice
Trade accounts get discounted per-wheel rates that step down with volume. Batch a row of units into one visit and bill it as a single job instead of chasing five separate tickets through accounting.
Priority scheduling
Repeat accounts get placed ahead of one-off retail work in the day's route, so a unit that needs to be front-line by the weekend doesn't wait behind a single driveway job across town.
Written up per wheel
Every job is documented per wheel with the damage corrected and the finish used, referenced to your stock or RO number, so your recon file and your invoice agree.
From your call to a finished row
You send the damage over
Call (818) 497-8199 or text photos of the wheels with the stock numbers. Face shot plus a close-up of the damage is enough for us to quote most wheels without a site visit.
We quote per wheel and schedule
You get a per-wheel price and a window. Trade accounts get priority scheduling, and we batch multiple units into one visit so the truck isn't billing you for repeat trips.
The truck comes to you
We work in your lot, your bay, your back row or the customer's driveway. We need a parking space, and that's it — the unit doesn't move, doesn't go on a flatbed and doesn't leave your control.
Repair, refinish, cure, walk it
Damage is cut back and reprofiled, refinished to match the factory color as closely as possible, and cured on site. We walk the finished units with your recon manager or service writer before we invoice.
One invoice, on your terms
Multiple units and multiple wheels come through on a single itemized invoice referenced to your stock or RO numbers. {{ACCOUNT_TERMS — e.g. Net 30 available for established accounts}}
Wheel repair for used car dealers and independent lots
On a used unit, the wheels are the first thing a buyer crouches down to look at and the last thing a trade appraiser writes down. A set of curbed wheels reads as "this car was not cared for," and that impression follows the walk-around all the way to the negotiation.
Ace Auto Recon reconditions wheels on your lot at wholesale rates for repeat accounts. We correct curb rash, scuffed faces and worn finishes, and refinish the wheel to match the factory color as closely as possible. Most sets are corrected in a single visit, so a unit that came off a trade Monday can be front-line Tuesday.
One vendor, one visit, one invoice against your recon budget — and the unit never leaves the row.
Typical used-lot work
- Curb rash repair and face refinishing
- Clear-coat peel and oxidation correction
- Matching one replacement wheel to the other three
- Refinishing a full set before front-lining
- Cosmetic correction on trade-ins and auction buys
Wheel repair for franchise dealerships
Franchise stores have wheel damage arriving from four directions at once: trade-ins headed for the used line, CPO units that have to meet a manufacturer standard, service customers who curbed a rim on the way in, and new inventory that picked up transport damage before it ever hit the lot.
We work all four. Our mobile unit sets up in your recon area, your service drive or the back row and repairs wheels where they sit — no wheel shipping, no loaner car burned while a rim is out for three days, no CPO unit sitting on hold waiting for a replacement wheel to arrive.
We work in a wide range of factory finishes across most domestic, import and luxury lines, matching the factory color as closely as possible so a corrected wheel is consistent with the rest of the set on the delivery walk-around.
Where we plug in
- Trade-in recon before the used line
- CPO wheel correction to program standards
- Service-drive wheel repair as an add-on RO line
- Transport and lot damage on new inventory
- Sublet overflow when your recon queue backs up
- Wheel work quoted against your stock or RO number
Outsourced wheel repair for auto body shops
Wheel work is the line item that quietly wrecks cycle time. A collision estimate that includes two damaged wheels means either ordering replacements and waiting on parts, or sending wheels out and holding the vehicle in a stall it isn't earning in.
Ace Auto Recon is the sublet that comes to you. We pull into your lot and repair the wheels while the rest of the job moves through your process, which keeps the vehicle on your schedule instead of a vendor's. Bulk pricing applies to shops running steady volume.
We handle cosmetic wheel damage — curb rash, scuffed faces, peeling clear coat — and refinish wheels to a clean, consistent appearance. Structural wheel work is outside what we do, and we tell you that at assessment rather than late, so you still have time to order a part and write the supplement.
Why shops sublet to Ace
- Wheels repaired in your lot — no stall tied up
- Cycle time protected on wheel-inclusive estimates
- Bulk rates for steady-volume shops
- Straight answer at assessment when a wheel is outside our scope
- Refinishing for clean supplement and delivery photos
- Serving LA County and San Gabriel Valley shops
Wheel repair that lowers claim severity
Replacing a wheel is one of the easiest severity adds on a collision or comprehensive claim, and on some luxury and performance applications a single wheel carries a large parts number. Cosmetic repair comes in well under replacement and takes the parts-delay argument off the table.
Ace Auto Recon works with carriers and claims operations on special repeat-business rates. Because we are fully mobile, we can meet the vehicle at the insured's home, their office, the shop handling the claim, or your affiliated dealership or service center — which shortens rental days as well as repair days.
We work in a wide range of factory finishes and match the color as closely as possible, so the insured signs off on appearance instead of opening a supplement over a mismatch.
What carriers get
- Repair-versus-replace pricing on cosmetic wheel damage
- Mobile response to insured, shop or affiliated dealer
- Reduced rental days on wheel-driven delays
- Close factory color matching to limit appearance supplements
- Repeat-business rates for claims volume
- Coverage across LA County and the Inland Empire
Keep rental and fleet vehicles looking rented, not returned
Rental fleets take curb damage faster than anything else on the road. Every renter is unfamiliar with the vehicle, parking is tight, and the wheels absorb all of it. Left alone, that damage compounds across the holding period and shows up again at remarketing, where it comes straight out of resale.
Ace Auto Recon offers business-to-business pricing for rental car lots, agencies and commercial fleets. We come to your lot on a schedule that fits your turn cycle and work through units in batches — curb rash corrected and finishes refreshed — so vehicles go back out looking like they should.
Fix it during the holding period and it costs a repair. Fix it at auction time and it costs the repair plus whatever the condition report already took off the number.
Fleet program
- Scheduled recurring lot visits
- Batch pricing across multiple units
- Curb rash correction and refinishing
- Full set refresh before remarketing
- Pre-remarketing condition passes
- B2B rates for agencies and commercial fleets
What we repair on a trade unit
We handle cosmetic wheel damage. We assess before we start, and if a wheel isn't something we can correct we say so up front — early enough that you can still order a part.
Curb rash & scuffs
The most common damage on lot and lease units. The gouged area is cut back, reprofiled and refinished. Routine, fast, and usually the highest-value correction per dollar you'll buy.
Clear-coat peel & oxidation
Southern California sun and wheel cleaner chemistry lift clear coat off wheel faces. We strip, prep and refinish so a set reads uniform instead of blotchy under lot lighting.
Finish mismatch
One replacement wheel that doesn't match the other three is a visible defect on the walk-around. We bring the odd wheel in line with the set, or refinish all four to a common color.
Full set refresh
Four wheels corrected and refinished together before a unit goes front-line, so the wheels stop being the thing a buyer crouches down to inspect.
Color matching
Matched as closely as possible to the factory color across common domestic, import and luxury applications. Where an exact match isn't achievable on a given finish, we tell you before the work, not after.
What we don't take on
We're a cosmetic wheel repair and refinishing operation. Structural wheel work is outside what we do — if that's what a unit needs, you'll hear it from us at assessment so you can route it elsewhere.
Where our trucks run
Ace Auto Recon is a mobile service based in Los Angeles. We cover Los Angeles County and the San Gabriel Valley, and we reach eastward into Inland Empire cities for trade accounts. Same-day service is available across most of the county depending on the day's route.

Questions dealers and shops ask first
Do you actually come to the lot, or do wheels have to be shipped?
We come to you. Ace Auto Recon is a 100% mobile operation — the equipment, the finishes and the curing gear travel on the truck. We work in your lot, your service drive, your body shop's parking area or a customer's driveway. Nothing gets crated and nothing leaves your property.
How long does a wheel repair take?
Most single-wheel curb rash repairs are completed in a single visit, and we offer same-day service across most of Los Angeles County depending on the day's route. Multi-unit batches are scheduled as one visit so the truck isn't making repeat trips at your expense.
Can you match the factory finish on my inventory?
We work in a wide range of factory finishes covering silver, hyper silver, machined face, gunmetal, charcoal, gloss and satin black, and bronze across common domestic, import and luxury applications, matched as closely as possible to the factory color. Where an exact match isn't achievable on a given finish, we tell you at assessment.
What's outside your scope?
We're a cosmetic wheel repair and refinishing operation — curb rash, scuffed faces, worn and peeling finishes, color matching. Structural wheel work is not something we take on. We assess before we start and tell you up front so you still have time to route the unit elsewhere or order a part.
Do you offer trade pricing, and how does it work?
Yes. Used car lots, franchise dealerships, auto body shops, insurance carriers and rental or commercial fleets all get discounted per-wheel rates for repeat business, with rates stepping down as volume increases. Multi-unit visits come through on a single itemized invoice referenced to your stock or RO numbers.
How far do you travel?
Los Angeles County and the San Gabriel Valley are our core service area, and we extend into Inland Empire cities for trade accounts. Multi-unit jobs justify a longer run than single retail wheels, so call with the volume and the location and we'll tell you straight whether it works.
Send us a row and we'll price it
Fastest path is a phone call with the number of units and where they're sitting. If you'd rather send it in writing, use the form and include stock numbers and photos of the damage — most wheels can be quoted from photos alone.
