Curb Rash & Wheel Repair in Olympia, WA
If you've clipped a curb parallel parking on 4th Avenue downtown, scraped a rim against one of the tight curbs around the Capitol campus, or backed into the angled parking near the Farmers Market, you're in good company. Olympia's older, narrow streets and busy waterfront parking are hard on wheels. Wheel Wizard restores curb-rashed, scuffed, and gouged rims right here in Olympia, bringing them back to factory finish and profile so your wheels look the way they did the day you drove off the lot.
Curb rash repair starts at $185 per rim, and we now offer mobile service so we can come to you anywhere in the Olympia area.
Why Olympia Wheels Take a Beating
A few things about driving in Olympia are tough on rims:
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.
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 curb rash is cosmetic, and we can repair it for a fraction of replacement cost.
What We Repair
Curb rash, scrapes, and gouges along the wheel lip and face
Scuffed and dull finishes restored to original shine
Color-matched to your factory finish — painted, polished, or machined
Shaped back to original dimensions and profile, not just filled and hidden
Every wheel is refinished to match its original spec, so a repaired rim is indistinguishable from the others on your vehicle.
