Excellent service… Pete definately knows what he is doing.
Place was a bit hard to find. I ended up calling him and he gave me detailed instructions on how to get to him.

Lets start off with what happend. I needed 4 wheels I purchased from Craigslist machined to fit my car.
The hole inside the area of the lugnut holes (Center bore) was too small and would not fit onto my car.
Basically all 4 wheels needed the center hole enlarged a few mm. I looked far and wide and called TONS of machine shops in Daly City, South San Francisco, San Bruno, San mateo etc…
By far he had the friendliest demeanor and attitude on the phone. Many others were brief and gruff and demanded to look at it before saying anything else.
He’s a 1 man show/​shop. Its in the alley behind the Olympian gas station on Linden, a bit hard to find but he’s all the way to the end of the alley.
The shop is pretty ghetto, typical for a machine shop. He’s fair on the prices, and will negotiate. Hes a nice guy, but I was a bit skeptical leaving my expensive wheels in such a messy /​disorganized shop (there were engine blocks everywhere and other parts). But thats normal with a machine shop, so I felt it was okay.
Bottom line, he promised it would be done in 3 days. It was finished the same day, and I picked them up the next morning.
Talk about speedy service! It came out perfect, and undamaged.
