WHEEL REPAIR AND REFURBISHING IN LACEY, WA

Why Lacey Vehicles Take a Beating
A few things about driving around here are tough on wheels and finishes:
Roundabouts and tight turns — Lacey has more roundabouts than most cities its size, and a misjudged angle on a low-profile tire is all it takes to scuff a rim.
Busy retail and commercial parking — lots around South Sound Center, Lacey Crossroads, and the businesses along Sleater-Kinney Road see a lot of tight spaces, concrete wheel stops, and curb edges that catch larger wheels.
Growing road network under construction — with ongoing development around Hawks Prairie and the I-5 corridor, uneven pavement, temporary curbs, and construction-zone road hazards are common and easy on the eyes, hard on rims.
Bigger, pricier wheels — newer SUVs, trucks, and EVs (Teslas and other EVs are everywhere in Lacey) 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.
Scratch Repair — starting at $150
Scratches, scuffs, or surface marks dulling your finish? Our scratch repair targets only the damaged area, restoring your vehicle's original look with no full panel replacement and no unnecessary repainting. Advanced paint-matching and blending make repairs virtually undetectable, and because we work only on the scratched area, you get a faster turnaround and lower cost. We handle everything from light surface scuffs to deeper scratches and key marks.
Wheel Polishing — starting at $100 per rim
Everyday driving leaves once-gleaming wheels dull and clouded with oxidation, water spots, brake dust, and fine scratches. Our professional polishing service brings back a brilliant, showroom-quality shine and the depth and clarity of the original finish. We polish each wheel by hand, removing surface imperfections and refining the metal to a mirror-smooth finish without altering its profile. Finish-matched results whether your wheels are polished, brushed, or machined, so we bring out the right look and restore the character your wheels had when they were new.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do repairs take in Lacey? Most single-wheel cosmetic repairs are same-day. Bent wheel repair may take a little longer depending on the work involved. If we're coming to you mobile, we'll give you a time window when you book.
Can you fix a Tesla or other EV wheel? Yes, we regularly refinish Tesla and other EV wheels, including the machined and painted aero finishes, and color-match them to factory.
Is repair cheaper than replacing the wheel? Almost always. Curb rash repair starts at $185 per rim and bent wheel repair at $200, while a single OEM replacement wheel often runs several hundred to over a thousand dollars.
What's the difference between a clear coat scratch and a deep scratch? A clear coat scratch only affects the top protective layer and can often be buffed or blended out quickly and inexpensively. A deeper scratch that cuts through the paint down to the primer or metal needs more work to fill, color-match, and blend, but in most cases we can still repair it without painting the whole panel. Not sure how deep yours is? Send us a photo or stop by and we'll take a look.
