MZM Rimshine

Referred to this business by someone who works in the industry. They repaired a minor curbed rim on my ride in about an hour. The cost was something I was definitely happy with to say the least. I called around to other rim repair shops and the basic price was $ 175 standard. Let’s just say I got a very good price for the repair here that didn’t cost me $ 175. In the end it all came down to that my damaged rim was «minor.» Still this minor repair with other shops would’ve cleaned me out. Very happy with my like new rim!

David from MZM Rimshine just came out to my home to fix my wheels. I previously drove an SUV and never had any trouble parallel parking and not scuffing my rims but since I bought a compact car with low profile tires I found that I am not as good at parking as I thought :). Anyway, the point is my wheels were in bad shape and David made them look brand new in 45 minutes! He was very friendly and I am amazed at the result. I will definitely recommend and use MZM in the future.

3 Years ago I parked my Evo IX to a spot on our driveway that I don’t usually parked on. It had a curb for the plants. The days after when I was going to work, due to force of habit I straightened the steering wheel without thinking of the curb. After 5 seconds I had a rude awakening. The front driver side rim scrapped to the curb and rashed 50% of the lip. Arrghhhh!!! That’s what I get for being half asleep.
Anywho, I called around town and canvas for pricing. Here’s the rundown: Mobile repair: $ 125.00 per wheel. It does not matter how minor the damage is. They go on-​site to repair it; you don’t even need to take the rim off your car. Ready in hours. US Wheel in El Cajon: $ 85.00 per wheel. You need to take off the wheels off your car. They will dismount the tire and repair the rim and remount the tire and balance. Turnaround time min is 2 days. $ 125 is a bit steep and I don’t have the time to drop off the rims during the week because I work 7 – 7 most of the time.
I remembered that El Cajon Mitsu repairs rims. So I called up and got referred to MZM Rimshine. They repair the rims on-​site, same as most mobile wheel repair. BUT their price is only as much as US Wheels!!! I called them up and talked to David, owner and operator. He asked what kind of rim and what finished. I have a P45R royal gray, Alloy lip. He told me if it was a chrome rim, it needs to be re-​chromed and that needs to be shipped out and cost more. Lucky me! One thing he told me that if was a machine finish (fine lines going around the rim) it will be smoothen out. He can get the machine finish back if get it shipped out. You cannot tell the machine finish not unless you have your face by 3 inches from the rim.
He fixed my rim, at work. He also repaired the spare P45R I had that has a ding from tire dismount, which I bought a new one to replace it. He also polished the three other on my car and only charged me for the 1 rim and the dinged up rim!!!
They also do interior recondition, headlights and tail light recondition. I think they also do overlay for the lights. Very professional, very prompt and you can’t beat the price. Highly recommended. Please tell him Nick from the Active Network referred you (GG IX MR). He will give you an unbeatable price and service. I have my co-​workers with an IS-​350 and M3 done. They were very happy with the quality of work and the price MZM Rimshine David 619−948−7351

I have picked up an exhaust for my Evo X yesterday at unbeatable price. One problem, when the seller’s wife was cleaning their garage she dragged the exhaust on the floor to move it.
Yikes! The bottom of the muffler was scratched up! Given that it’s at the bottom and no one will see it unless if the look under the car, it still drove me nuts.
Today I had an epiphany, the scratch is not too deep, can David @ MZM Rimshine fix this?!
I called David up and asked if he can take a look at it. Since I work 7:30 to 4:30 Mon-​Fri, I asked David if we can meet up. Out of his way he offered to meet up with me after 5 PM (which is not his usual business hour) at his house.
He told me there will be no promises since he does not know how deep the scratches were and he does not usually do exhaust. He did say if it’s beyond his expertise/​tools, he can refer me to a shop that does motorcycles.
When I got to his house, he was so accommodating. He’s even the one who unloaded the exhaust from the car.
We did a test area and it seems that the scratch was not too deep. It did take a lot of elbow grease to buff the scratches off since the stainless steel was really hard. He pulled all the stops to get it look like brand new. He treated the whole muffler and not just the scratched area. He removed the tar on it and polished the whole muffler.
He went out of his way to help me out, the price is unbeatable and service is A+!!!
