If you are shopping around to get your calipers or drums painted, look no further and just book with this shop. I am absolutely thrilled with the end product!
From curb rash to full custom finishes, we treat every wheel like it's our own. Serving drivers across Santa Ana and Orange County.
A curbed rim. A wobble that shows up at 65 on the 55. Brake calipers that look tired next to a fresh detail. This is where most drivers end up before they end up here.
Metalworks & Tire Place is the auto wheel shop Santa Ana turns to when something's off with a wheel and a straight answer is what you actually want. Rim repair, wheel painting, powder coating, wheel straightening, brake caliper painting and tire service, all handled by the same small team, in the same shop, since 2010.
Every job gets the same treatment, whether it's a daily driver with curb rash or a set of OEM wheels somebody's babied for years. We don't upsell the first and we don't rush the second.
Fausto runs it. Licensed (#338834), hands-on, and still the one most customers deal with directly, not a rotating cast of techs. That's the difference between a shop that treats your car like a job number and one that treats it like it's parked in their own driveway.
Schedule a visit and find out what's actually wrong before you spend money assuming the worst.

Fausto at Metal Works was amazing. I had a mysterious leak in my tire with no visible holes, and after going to several different shops, everyone kept telling me the tire was fine.

This store was unable to service my damage rim but was kind enough to answer all of my questions so that I could find the right service. The assistance was really appreciated.

Fausto was great! He reviewed all the options for coating the rims, offered good suggestions and did a fantastic job! He even had new center caps that look much better...
Most shops see a wheel. We see the car it's attached to, and the person who has to drive it home after.
We've been doing this in the same Santa Ana shop since 2010, which means we've likely already seen your exact problem on someone else's wheel. You're not the first person to bring in a rim you're not sure is worth saving, and you won't get a guess dressed up as an answer.
We serve drivers across Santa Ana and eight surrounding Orange County cities, from daily commuters to owners who won't put their wheels in just anyone's hands. Whatever brought you here, we'll tell you straight whether it's a repair or a replace, and we'll never pretend a five-minute job takes longer than it does.

Every job below is handled in-house, by the same team, from start to finish.

Wobble at 65? That's usually this, not a new set of tires.
