Wheel repair is generally around 40% cheaper than buying new wheels, but it’s not always the right choice. If you were already thinking about switching wheels or your wheels are severely damaged, buying new wheels might be a better option. Here’s how wheel repair compares to wheel replacement in certain situations:

• Cosmetic Damage: Scratches and corrosion look bad but don’t require replacement. Many motorists come in for a wheel repair service to fix blemishes and restore wheels to like-new appearance. There’s little reason to buy new wheels in this instance unless you’re going for a different look. Otherwise, wheel repair and wheel refinishing services provide an affordable alternative to replacement.
• Bent Rim Repair: A small bend in your rim from a pothole is serviceable. Rim straightening should always be done by an experienced technician. Our technicians have years of combined experience in wheel repair and use specialized equipment to return the roundness of your wheel. During the rim repair process, your car or truck wheel is heated to and welded into shape.
• Severe Structural Damage: Severe damage impacts wheel integrity and cannot be repaired to safe condition. We inspect all wheels to determine their eligibility for a structural repair. In the event your wheel is unsafe to service, we offer a wide selection of replacement wheels.

Most wheels are serviceable. If you aren’t sure about the state of your factory or custom wheel, call to talk with a knowledgeable member of our team. Describe the damage or show us in shop. Remember that driving on a damaged wheel is dangerous and can cause problems to other parts of your car.
