WHEEL REPAIR AND REFURBISHING IN OLYMPIA, WA
If you've clipped a curb parallel parking on 4th Avenue downtown, hit a pothole on one of the older streets near the Capitol campus, or picked up a scratch in the tight parking around the Farmers Market, you're in good company. Olympia's narrow historic streets and busy waterfront parking are hard on wheels and paint alike. Wheel Wizard repairs and refinishes wheels right here in Olympia, bringing everything back to factory finish so your vehicle looks the way it did the day you drove off the lot.
We handle curb rash, bent rims, wheel ceramic coating, and we now offer mobile rim repair service so we can come to you anywhere in the Olympia area.
Why Olympia Vehicles Take a Beating
A few things about driving around here are tough on wheels and finishes:
Downtown parallel parking — the curbs along 4th Ave, Capitol Way, and the side streets near Percival Landing are unforgiving, especially on larger wheels with low-profile tires.
Historic, narrow streets — neighborhoods like South Capitol and the older Eastside and Westside blocks weren't built for today's wider vehicles, and a tight turn or pinch point is all it takes.
Potholes and road hazards — winter weather and aging pavement leave plenty of potholes that bend rims and knock wheels out of true.
Bigger, pricier wheels — newer SUVs, trucks, and EVs (we see plenty of Teslas around town) run large-diameter wheels where even a small scuff stands out and a full replacement runs hundreds of dollars.
The good news: most of this damage is repairable for a fraction of replacement cost.
Our Services
Curb Rash Repair — starting at $185 per rim
Scrapes, gouges, and scuffs from a clipped curb dull the look of an otherwise clean vehicle. We repair the damage at the source, refinishing each wheel to match its original finish and profile. Restored to factory spec, shaped and color-matched to original dimensions, with painted, polished, or machined finish options to match correctly, not just filled and hidden.
Bent Wheel Repair — starting at $200 per rim Bent wheels can cause air leaks, vibrations, and an uneven or unsafe ride. If your wheel is losing air, shaking at speed, or your vehicle doesn't drive as smoothly as it should, we can fix it. Ideal for wheels damaged by potholes, curbs, or road hazards. We reshape bent rims back to true, round dimensions, correct the bead and seating surfaces so they hold air, eliminate vibration and wobble, and inspect every wheel for cracks before it goes back on. In many cases a properly repaired wheel performs like new without the cost of replacement.
Wheel Ceramic Coating — starting at $50 per rim Keep your wheels cleaner and protected with professional ceramic coating. We use F1NISH Race Coat, a self-healing formula rated for up to 7 years of protection, that bonds to the wheel surface and shields against brake dust, road salt, heat, and contaminants. The hydrophobic finish means grime rinses right off, so your wheels stay glossy and take far less effort to maintain. A slick, durable layer that keeps your wheels looking their best wash after wash.
