Default recomendations for wheel repair shop in So Cal or Central Cal

i have a pair of racing hart type C wheels and one is leaking from where the barrel meets the spoke face

took it to a local shop and they said it needed to be dismantled and "re siliconed" but they dont offer that service, so far i have not found a shop around here that does, can any of you guys recommend one that does this on a regular basis?

thanks in advance

I can vouch for Boltons, have had several repairs done there. Not expensive, quick turn around and friendly. They will tell you up front what they can and cannot do.

Icon5 Simply Dont Go to Simple Wheel Werks

First Off Let Me Say I was Introduced to Paolo and Virginia Like There was going to be "Hook Up"
Pricing ... I had the Choice Between Simple Wheel Works and WheelFlip.
I chose Simple because (2) of My Co-Workers were All getting work done through him even
when WheelFlip was Cheaper and had a Better Rep cause Alex at WheelFlip is a Great
Friend of Mine.

Long Story Short....

First Apollo Quoted me $600 for Two Sets of Wheels (10 total)
Just basic Black nothing Special.

I give him $400 Up Front.

2 Months Later he Tells Me He had a Problem with My Rims so
he had to Re-do them so he needed an Extra $300.

I said that It wasn't My Fault and I shouldn't have to Pay Extra.

He Holds My Rims for Hostage.

Today's Date is June 28th I had to Pay a "Ransom"
of $560.00 to get My Rims Back.

Total = -$1,000 for an AVERAGE powder coating job.
I paid Extra for nothing but BS and Lies !!!

Simply Don't Go to Simple Wheel Werks.
