Rim repair restores a damaged wheel instead of replacing it. Cosmetic damage is smoothed and refinished so it blends with the rest of the rim. Structural damage, like a bend, is corrected so the tire seals and the wheel turns true. Because you are driving in from Mustang, we review photos first and tell you which kind of repair you are looking at before you make the trip.
Every rim follows the same order, from your first photo to the moment it goes back on your vehicle. Structural problems are always handled before cosmetic ones.
You send photos; we ask how it happened and how the car drives.
The wheel comes off and is cleaned so nothing hides under grime.
Lip, face and barrel are checked for bends, cracks and corrosion.
Bends corrected first, then the surface is refinished to match.
Checked from every angle in good light, then back on the vehicle.
Your rims often tell you something is wrong before you see the damage. Match what you are noticing to the likely cause, then send us photos.
| What you notice | Likely cause | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Steering wheel shakes at highway speed | A bent rim or a balance problem | Send photos and have the rim checked |
| Tire pressure light keeps returning | Air escaping at a bent or corroded bead seat | Repair the rim before replacing the tire |
| Rough, shiny metal on the edge | Curb rash on the outer lip | Curb rash repair |
| Bubbling or flaking finish | Corrosion spreading under the paint | Spot repair or a full refinish |
| A visible crack | Impact damage, often from a pothole | Stop highway driving and have it assessed |
Most damaged rims need one of four repairs, and some need two. When you send photos, we tell you which ones apply and plan them for the same visit.
Whatever the repair, the finish is matched to the rest of your set so the repaired rim does not stand out from the other three.
Between SH-152, SH-4 and the county roads around Mustang, a damaged rim gets plenty of miles put on it. Leaving it alone usually costs more than fixing it.
A bent rim makes the tire wear unevenly, so you may be buying tires sooner than you should.
Bare metal on a scraped lip lets moisture in, and the finish starts lifting around it.
A rim that will not seal means topping up the tire again and again, and driving underinflated.
Scraped rims are one of the first things a buyer or lease inspector notices.
While a rim is being repaired, it is a good time to plan other wheel and finish work for the same trip.

Rim repair is priced per job, because no two damaged rims are the same. These are the things that move the estimate up or down.
| Factor | How it affects the estimate |
|---|---|
| Type of damage | Light curb rash is simpler than a bend or a deep gouge |
| How much of the rim is affected | One spot costs less than damage all the way around |
| Finish | Painted finishes are simpler to match than machined or polished faces |
| Rim size | Larger rims take more time to refinish |
| Number of rims | Repairing several in one visit is often more efficient |
Clear photos are the fastest way to an accurate estimate. See our pricing page for more on how jobs are quoted.
Send one photo of the whole wheel and one close-up of the damage through the form at the top of this page or by email. Tell us how it happened and how the car drives, and we will reply with an estimate and a plan for your visit.

It depends on the type of damage, how much of the rim is affected, the finish, the rim size and how many rims need work. Light curb rash on one painted rim is simpler than a bend or a machined face. Send photos and we will give you an estimate for your rims.
The most common cause is a bent rim, usually on the inner barrel where you cannot see it. A wheel that has lost a balance weight can also cause shaking. Have it checked before more highway driving, since a bend can also cause air loss.
It depends on where the crack is. A crack in a spoke or near the center usually means the rim should be replaced. Small cracks on the lip are assessed case by case. Avoid highway driving on a cracked rim and send us photos so we can advise.
If the tire keeps losing air, check the rim first. A bent or corroded bead seat lets air escape even from a new tire. Repairing the rim often solves the leak. If the tire sidewall is cut or bulging, the tire needs replacing either way.
That is the goal of every repair. The repaired area is refinished to match the color, sheen and texture of the rest of the set. Machined and polished faces take more care to match, so we explain what to expect before starting.
Yes. Repairing several rims in one visit is common, and it means one trip from Mustang instead of several. Send photos of each damaged rim so we can plan the work and give you one estimate.
