Recently, I entrusted the wheel repair and glass coating of my beloved Porsche Taycan to Cho Bankin. To cut to the chase, the price was about half of what the dealer quoted, and the craftsmanship was outstanding—resulting in a finish that left me completely satisfied.

Why I Decided to Request the Service

Last year, I scratched the front left wheel of my Taycan, and earlier this year, I managed to scrape the exact same spot again. At first, I thought, “It’s not that noticeable, so I’ll just fix it when the timing feels right.” But before I knew it, six months had flown by.

Another concern was the fading coating on the car’s body. After rainy days, the dirt buildup was especially bad—like a mix of rain droplets and dust that left the body constantly looking grimy. Since I’m not the type to wash my car frequently, I often drove around with it looking less than pristine… which didn’t sit well with me. Again, six months slipped by unnoticed.

Finally, my husband noticed and said, “The coating’s definitely worn off, so why not fix the wheels and get the glass coating done at the same time? Cho Bankin also offers glass coating, so it might be a good fit.” That gave me the push I needed to take action.

I had previously used Cho Bankin for wheel repairs and knew their work was top-notch, so I felt confident about that. However, it was my first time trying their glass coating service, and I was a bit nervous, thinking, “I wonder how it’ll turn out… but if their wheel repair skills are this good, the coating should be excellent too.”

My husband added, “Cho Bankin does a thorough polishing job, which is great. The local Keeper Lab used to offer polishing but doesn’t anymore. For cars like Porsches, many shops avoid polishing because over-polishing or uneven polishing can cause issues. Only shops with serious skills take on that responsibility, so you can expect great results here.”

Booking System Reflects Their Popularity

Cho Bankin is a highly sought-after shop, so immediate service isn’t guaranteed. First, I visited the shop to get an estimate (though calling might work too), where they assessed the damage and provided a quote. Then I went home and waited for an opening.

About a week later, they called to say, “We can take your car now,” and the work began. The initial estimate was about 10 days, but they promised, “We’ll try to finish it in a week.”

I opted not to use a loaner car, and the actual work was completed even faster—in just four days.

When I picked up the car, the wheels looked flawless—there was no sign of the previous scratches. Just like last time, the finish was immaculate.

The glass coating made the body gleam with a slick, glossy finish—like a brand-new car. What truly amazed me was how the car’s beauty has endured through wind and rain without fading.

It’s been about a month since the coating, and during that time, we’ve had several heavy rains. Our covered parking lacks shutters, so wind-driven rain often hits the hood and rear, which used to leave the car dirty by morning.

However, since the Cho Bankin glass coating, the car stays as clean as if it was just washed. Even in weather that would normally demand a wash, the surface remains smooth and free of dirt.

Honestly, it feels fantastic and makes car care so much easier.

Considering the time and money I used to spend on regular hand washes, I wish I had done the glass coating sooner. It reduces the frequency of washes, offering significant time and cost savings.

They also explained, “If the water repellency starts to fade, maintenance is available.” So I plan to have them do upkeep after six months to a year to keep the effect strong.

The wheel repair and glass coating at Cho Bankin impressed me both in skill and price. (I’m not being paid to say this—I’m just a genuinely thrilled customer!)

Honestly, I hope Cho Bankin doesn’t get *too* famous, or the wait times might get even longer. But this level of quality deserves to be known, so if you’re considering wheel repairs or glass coating, I highly recommend paying them a visit.＾＾
