Rim Pro’s of Metairie

Ughhhh New Orleans street, blast you!!!
This is like the millionth time I’ve had to have a rim repaired or replaced, hello I’m thinking of sending all those bills to the City of New Orleans… Anyway, review time!!!
I settled on this place due to the review of a fellow Unilocaler, thanks again Mike C.
I found Melissa & her staff to be very courteous, helpful & accommodating. Even though my rim was unable tonbe repaired, she continued to assist me with locating a replacement. (the repair was unable to be done because of the materials that the rim was made of)
Located off of Veterans near WalMart in Kenner, this rim shop is easily accessible & right near the interstate.
Pricing is fair; the quote of repairs I was given, had they been able to be done wasnwaaaaaaaaaaaay less than a replacement rim, believe me.
Quick turn around time, I dropped the rim off & was informed w/​in 2 hours, although attempted, the repair was unsuccessful. Thanks RimPro, that you are!!!

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
Bought two rims for my car to be replaced. They sold me universal aftermarket rims (which I was not informed they were after markets). After a couple of months of driving, the breaks started to squeak. Been to two different auto location and after paying $$$ more than I should to fix the squeaking, & come to found out the cause of the squeaking was the rims they put on my car. After driving all the way to their location talking to the people they professionally I was treated with the utterly disrespect. The wife of the owner of the location, flat out told me they will not look at it, & they see nothing wrong. Even after I pointed out what the mechanics looked at my car and show me what was incorrect about it she still shook her head no and said I am in the wrong. Then after speaking to the owner via phone since he wasn’t present, he admitted they are not liable to explain if this is a universal or a aftermarket brand. If they would’ve told me they could’ve got the correct ones for my vehicle, I would pay for those. Money wasn’t in the issue being lied to and being treated disrespectful is. Very unprofessional. I totally recommend not to come to this location.

Too expensive to repair a scraped outer rim edge on my Lexus.

We thought we had one bent wheel rim — thank you New Orleans pot holes. We actually had TWO bent and cracked rims that couldn’t be fixed. Rim Pro tried valiently to find matching rims, even calling competitors. When nothing turned up, they found us an excellent deal on four new rims and had them on our car within 24 hours of our first contact. Can’t beat the price or the service. And they are great folks on top of it all. Many thanks.

Rim Pro’s is a full service automotive wheel shop that specializes in the repair of bent, gouged or scraped aluminum rims for your vehicle. They also do new rim and tire installations, but my review will focus solely on rim repairs.
My first rim issue occurred when I carelessly got my car too close to the curb at the entrance of my work’s parking garage and scraped the face of my 19″ aluminum rims on my Mustang. Needless to say, I was a little miffed but knew the damage was cosmetic and a repair could wait until I scraped together a few bucks for the repair.
Fast forward a month or so and I found myself being run off the road by a white dually style pickup truck with Idaho plates while heading north on Elysian Fields Avenue. To avoid the collision, I attempted to negotiate a hard left turn and ended up driving over the neutral ground’s (median) curb. Even though I had slowed considerably, the curb impact left all 4 of my rims dented and left a bulging egg in all 4 tires.
I immediately replaced the tires and had the wheels balanced. But the dents in the rims were causing a high speed vibration. (No, I’m not gonna say how fast). I reached out to my trustworthy mechanic (Greg Roberts at GT Automotive) and my friend Phil D. at Cottman Transmissions and they both highly recommended I go to Rim Pro’s; owned by Kevin Louque.
When I walked through the front door, I was enthusiastically greeted by Melissa, who was handling the front office, the telephones and coordinating with the technicians in the service area. I told her they came highly recommended and she introduced me to Brian, who appeared to be the lead technician. Brian was assisted by Austin and Aaron, and the three of them crank out a lot of repairs for such a limited amount of personnel. Since I needed the car to get back and forth to work, I had to get 1 wheel repaired at a time.
Brian looked at all 4 rims and was able to straighten out one on the spot, as it only needed straightening and did not need to be resurfaced with their Trump RL-​3040 CNC machine. After the rim was straightened, balanced and put back on the car, he took off the second rim and put my spare tire on for me. Rim 2 had to be straightened, CNC machined and clear coated. The next day, rim 2 was put back on and rim 3 removed, straightened and CNC machined. I repeated this process for three straight days and by the end of the week, all of my rims looked just like the day I bought the car.
I kid you not when I say that I was astonished, as I did not think the gouges in my rim could be repaired without me being able to see the repair. But the rims look brand new, and the cost to repair a rim was only approximately ¼ the cost of a new rim. Owner Kevin Louque personally did a walk around of my car with me and treated me like a V.I.P.
As soon as I left, I got the car up to speed (No, I’m not gonna say how fast) and discovered that there was no more vibrations as the car felt as smooth as glass. Not only did my rims look great, but more importantly, they were structurally sound and smooth riding.
I cannot recommend this place enough if you are in the need of a rim repair. So if you have some curb rash, don’t put it off. Go ahead and give the professionals at Rim Pro’s a call, and get your wheels looking factory new again.

This review is for the dent and paint repair service I got from Rim Pro’s. They were a bit confused at first when I showed up because their primary thing is rims, but I was referred to them for paint repair.
I was driving my sister’s car and scrubbed a curb. This dented the bottom of the quarter panel and scraped the paint off down to the metal. Of course I was freaking out because it wasn’t my car. My sister did not want to put me in a financial bind and make me pay to replace the whole quarter panel; so the dealership referred me to Rim Pro’s to fix the paint. I got a quote from Kevin and thought it was very reasonable. I left it with him for three days.
When I picked the car up, I was completely blown away by how it looked. I really cannot tell that it was ever damaged, it looks as good as it would if they had replaced the quarter panel. It really looks like the car was never damaged. I couldn’t be happier with the work they did and recommend them to anyone for dent repair. My sister is also happy and that’s the most important thing. Thanks Rim Pro’s!

We are very happy with Rim’s Pro. We bought tires from
and had the tires ship free directly to Rim’s Pro in Metairie. It has been several weeks and still love my tires. It was only $ 90 for installing them and they did a great job I am very pleased and happy and we saved alot of money. I highly recommend this company.

This review is for their tire installation service. Though they appeared to have a nice selection of fancy wheels at relatively good deals, I know even less about rims than I do about tires.
Unless you have a cool car (I don’t), replacing your tires is a drag and really easy to put off. Don’t. I went online and picked out some well-​reviewed affordable tires from
and randomly picked Rim Pros from a list of local installers. The site estimated a $ 90 install charge at Rim Pros (one of the cheapest quotes listed) with a disclaimer that tax and other random fees might be additional.
Rim Pros called to set up a next day appointment as soon as the tires were delivered — two days after I’d purchased them online. I was in and out in under an hour and the charge was exactly $ 90.00.
They acted genuinely appreciative for the business, made me feel good about my tire selection, apologized for the wait (what wait?), and didn’t try to upsell me on additional services. (The last time I bought tires I was nearly forced into an additional $ 100+ alignment.) The location is convenient and clean with a working bathroom and it’s walking distance to Wal-​Mart and other stores to kill some time during the wait. If they had only thrown in free rotations, I’d have been in love.
Note, tipping seems to be the exception not the rule for tire installation, but it sure seemed appreciated and unexpected. I thought it was deserved since the service was fast and friendly. All told I spent $ 400 and one hour of my life for improved safety and fuel economy for the next 85,000 miles. Do it.
And if you want some fancy rims, what the heck, do that too.
