BENT WHEEL REPAIR - STARTING AT $200 PER RIM
Tire Leaking? Vibrations at High Speeds?

How do I know if my wheel is bent?
The most common signs are a tire that keeps losing air, vibrations or shaking at higher speeds, and a ride that just doesn't feel as smooth as it should. If your vehicle is doing any of these, a bent wheel is often the cause and we can take a look.

Can a bent wheel really be fixed, or do I need a new one?
In many cases a bent wheel can be repaired to perform like new, which saves you the cost of replacement. We reshape the rim back to true dimensions and correct the sealing surfaces. If a wheel is too far gone or unsafe to repair, we'll tell you straight rather than return something we wouldn't drive on.
Will it fix my air leak and vibration?
That's exactly what this repair targets. Reshaping the rim back to true removes the wobble and vibration at speed, and correcting the bead and seating surfaces lets the wheel hold air properly again, so it stops leaking and rides smoothly.
Is a repaired wheel safe to drive on?
Yes. We straighten the wheel back to spec and inspect every rim for cracks before it goes back on. Safety is the deciding factor: if a wheel can't be brought back to a safe, roadworthy condition, we won't return it as repaired.
What causes a bent wheel?
Most bent wheels come from potholes, curbs, and other road hazards. A single hard hit at the wrong angle is enough to knock a rim out of true, which is why it often happens suddenly rather than over time.
How long does bent wheel repair take?
It depends on how many wheels are involved and how badly they're bent. Proper straightening, sealing, and a full safety inspection take time, so we'll give you a specific timeframe when you book.
