Recommend Rim repair in Bay Area

Hi guys, anyone recommend me a good rim repair shop in San Jose? I accidentally curbed my front driver side rim (about a inch) in length.

This guy seems pretty legit, I was gonna use him before I sold my Volks (they were pretty scratched up too).

He runs a mobile operation out of his van.

I don't see how anyone could quote a wheel repair without being able to see the piece in person

He has a flat rate presumably based on size, rough description of the damage. Don't quote me, but iirc it was something like $75 a wheel (a few people allude to exact numbers in the Yelp reviews). Guess it evens out for him in the end.

Rite-Way in Walnut Creek does some of the best work ive seen. Id suggest going there.. They do a really good job at matching the paint too.

Updated with after pics

Kris did a good job on sanding and polishing up the curb rash, I recommend him if any is in need of rim repair. Plus he's mobile and he will come to you.
