Exoticar Inc

Horrible work and terrible attitude. I took my car to this guy Anthony to have the wheels painted and clear coated — a VERY simple job. I had to go back 3 times because the clear coat work was so terrible (see pics). When the job wasn’t done on time for the third time and I complained Anthony came unglued and started screaming at me and tried to say it was somehow my fault (what???). He finally admitted that he had used my car to «train» his worker (he said «gotta train my guys somehow!!»). He never told me he was having somebody who didn’t know what they were doing work on my wheels. It’s clear to me now that he can’t manage his schedule and deliver his work on time with experienced workers. Twice when I left the car in the morning he promised that it would be done by the end of the day only to have his assistant call me to say they needed to keep it overnight because it wasn’t finished. It’s obvious to me now that what was really going on was that he never got to it on the first day and then rushed to finish it the next morning. As a result he gave the car back to me while the clear coat was still wet and you can see the results in the pics. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES! Also, my car was filthy inside and out every time I picked it up. He finally gave me my money back for 2 of the wheels and said he didn’t want to deal with the problem anymore. This was a miserable waste of my time and his demeanor was REALLY scary. Stay away!

Awesome in every way. I am so pleased to have been referred to this hidden gem. I was looking to repair a small scratch on my car as well as see what new look my car could obtain. Anthony pointed me in the right direction to fit my style. You can tell he actually pays attention to his clients and is incredibly honest. He is extremely dedicated to the car his clients receive. He is also incredibly knowledgable and passionate about cars which makes a winning combo.
I highly recommend his services.

Everything you have read about Anthony and Exoticars is true. This is a top notch business run by an honest perfectionist. Handing over the keys to your prized possession can be a nerve wrecking experience but I was immediately made comfortable. I brought my car in to have the wheels powder coated and calipers colored (with branding graphics). Communication was great from beginning to end. The finished product looks like it came out of the factory, phenomenally done.
I’ve owned many cars and had plenty of custom work done but this is now my go-​to shop for any future work. If you are looking for a trustworthy place to work on your pride and joy, there’s no need to look further.
Thanks again Anthony, I couldn’t be more impressed and satisfied with the outcome.

They are good! My wife said where did we get hit? Enough said. Their work is stellar.

I met Anthony Lahner in 2009 when he had a mobile business and came to my home and did the work there… can you say convenient?! Anthony was extremely professional and did an excellent job on my BMW rim. You would of never known that I even scratched the rim. (see pics).
We met again in 2013 at his first shop when he fixed my Alpina B7 rim… again, looked brand new. (see pics).
And now its 2015… and I needed to fix my diamond forged rims… which can be more tricky then your standard rims. I went to the new location… sooo nice and big?! I went less then a block away to grab a starbucks, sat and waited in their nice lobby on my computer with their wifi. An hour and a half later, my car was done and my rim looked like new. (see pics)
Obviously I don’t want to have to call Anthony… but if there is anyone I trust more with my cars, its him. I’m a «stock» car kind of girl… but he does some awesome modifications. He’s super busy, yet easily reachable, he gets back to me right away whether text, email or phone.
Highly recommend.

I had a pretty gnarly curb rash on one of my rims, it even looked slightly dented. I was able to send a picture to Exoticar and got a reasonable quote over the phone. Once the work was done the rim looked good as new! I ran my hand along the spokes and couldn’t even tell there was any previous damage.
On top of that Anthony the owner was great to work with and was very insightful. The whole service was a good example of quality work and great customer service. I totally recommend!

I went to Antony and saved $ 2,400!!! SWEET!!! I just bought BMW GT550. Oh my… luxurious! Then I felt a vibration, ok time to balance the tires, took it to the dealer, $ 217. Then I hit a huge pothole on the 5 fwy in San Clemente construction zone, and now the steering is off, $ 299. Dealer says vibration still there due to bent rim. Oh great, so off to Tirerack for $ 2,400 package… but I wonder if someone can do something with the rims first. Google results list Exoticar Inc and I swing by and meet Anthony. He says, wait… let’s check the balance first. Each wheel was off an ounce or so. He balances the tires correctly and baddah-​bing, a mere $ 80 later, the car is smooth as silk now. So $ 2,400 stays in my pocket and now its legal action time with SouthBay BMW! Thanks Anthony!

I could not be happier. My car is a 2008 Mercedes SLK 350 limited edition with a unique factory finish on the wheels. The wheels had aged unevenly and needed to be refreshed. Anthony took one look at them and knew how to approach this finish. The result: The wheels look showroom new… what was promised was definitely delivered. As an aside, I had previously asked around about restoration of my calipers and was never fully satisfied with the answers. When I asked Anthony about it, he gave me an honest and informed answer for how to get them back to showroom condition. I’ll be going back for that work before long.

Excellent quality, fare prices and quick service.
Highly recommend this business! Anthony is very friendly and knowledgeable!

Whether you have an exotic super car or just a car that you love and want to pamper I would recommend you take it to this shop. Anthony, the owner, comes from a long pedigree of working with high end sports and luxury vehicles (think Porsche and Lamborghini) and the work that they do at this shop is exceptional. Sometimes I stop by just to check out the car show that they have in the garage and the front of the shop. This place can be your one stop go to place for all your automotive needs from minor repairs to custom modification work and they even provide full body shop repairs. The prices are good, especially for west LA, and Roman is the man. If you have any questions or want to customize your car make sure you talk to him.
I have been here several times to get my Lexus color sanded and detailed and also for wheel repairs (curb rashes). Anthony will always stand by the work performed here and make sure that his clients are happy. Exoticar is a great resource because no matter what you want or need to get done to your vehicle they can make it happen. If you are looking for high quality customization or repair work for your vehicle I highly recommend this place.

Holy cow! Talk about top of the line. For door dings and wheel repair, this place is truly the luxe of Los Angeles (maybe in the world). You walk into a beautiful office with professional lifts in the back and you know for a fact that your car is in great hands.
Anthony is a great owner and at the end of our consultation, asked if I need a ride home! Nothing but great experiences here and my wheels are brand new like nothing ever happened! Prices are so reasonable that I tend to come back here every year to get my car touched up. There’s nothing they can’t do with wheel repair and paint.

These guys rock! Anthony is the epitome of professionalism and efficiency. Good pricing, great workmanship and quickness. I cannot recommend these guys enough.

Anthony is great! Like other reviewers said, he is extremely honest and professional and it was a pleasure doing business with him. He repaired my bent rim back to new with a very high quality of workmanship and undercut all the competitors I contacted in terms of price.
I highly recommend them. A great experience! I couldn’t be happier.

Been living in LA, since 2000. Love my cars like everyone else in this city… after being disappointed/​screwed over @ over…
I can’t tell you what a «Relief» it was finding Anthony” a few years back.
* Sincere
* Reasonable
* Always going Above @ Beyond
* Couldn’t be happier with anything & everything I’ve had done there in the past few years. I will N e v e r go anywhere else… He’s tha Man!

Anthony is honest, straightforward with pricing and quick. Most importantly, does amazing quality work. Never have I ever had a wheel repaired to where it is absolutely undetectable, but Anthony pulled it off.
Anthony repaired 2– 6″ curb marks on my 2015 GT-​R wheel– the wheels were the black edition wheels, which coincidentally aren’t black, they are actually a Metallic gun metal blue color/​cobalt and everyone I showed it to said it would be impossible to match, that I would be better off to just buy a new wheel if it really bothered me so much. Hah! Anthony brought it in, smoothed out the edges without removing too much material and mixed paint to match the factory color PERFECTLY, I mean, it’s crazy how good it looks.
I have a few more cars, Anthony, and I plan on bringing them to you for wheel repair. Too bad you don’t do any body work, could use some dings taken out of the old lady’s car.

Anthony and his team rock. They’re very meticulous, take a lot of pride in their work, and the pricing is more than fair. Best wheel repair in all of LA.

I tore up one of my grey turbine wheels on the curb. Tesla recommend Anthony. I was nervous because of very few reviews, My husband called Anthony and after a few minutes of conversation my husband could tell Anthony loves his work.
My wheel is good as new.

Brian G.‘s review says it all. Exoticar Wheel Refinishing and it’s owner, Anthony, are the best! This is my 3^rd visit to have my Tesla wheels repaired. Anthony is the nicest and most professional merchant I’ve done with business with in a long time. And, his work is great. If you find yourself in need of wheel repairs, I would unconditionally recommend Exoticar Wheel Refinishing.

Best wheel guy in L.A.
Anthony and his father are consummate professionals.
Very good prices, and service par excellence.

First off, I can’t believe I’m the first one to write a Unilocal review on this place.
EXOTICAR ROCKS!
I was referred to Anthony (the owner) to get my brand new 20″ wheel repaired from a run-​in with a pothole. I simply texted Anthony the pictures of the damage and he got back to me instantly with super reasonable quote. Then followed up with an AMAZING job. My wheels look brand new again!
While I was at the shop I learned they also do custom vinyl car wrapping so I decided to have him do a black matte on the chrome around my windows. It turned out super clean, and again VERY reasonably priced for the quality of work.
He has made a customer for life out of me.
Thanks Anthony!
