WHEEL REPAIR VS REPLACEMENT

Wheel repair is an affordable alternative to purchasing new wheels. However, there are circumstances where replacement may make more sense than repair. Below is a look at how wheel repair compares to wheel replacement:

• Cosmetic Damage: Scratches don't look great, but they don't require replacement. Many motorists choose a wheel repair service to fix blemishes and restore wheels to a like-new appearance. There's little reason to purchase new wheels in this instance, unless you would like to change the appearance of your vehicle. We also also offer wheel powder coating services for this purpose.
• Bent Rim Repair: A small bend in your rim from a pothole is serviceable. Rim straightening should always be performed by an experienced technician. Our technicians have years of combined experience in wheel repair and use specialized equipment to return roundenss to your wheel. During the process, the technician heats the wheel at a high temperature and welds it into shape.
• Severe Structural Damage: Severe damage impacts wheel integrity and cannot be safely repaired. We inspect all wheels to determine their eligibility for a structural repair. In the event your bent or cracked 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 (559) 297-2221 to talk with a knowledgeable member of our team. Describe the damage or show us at our auto repair shop. Remember: driving on a damaged wheel is dangerous and can cause problems to other parts of your car.
