Wheel repair FAQ

Bent-rim straightening usually runs about $125–$400 per wheel. Minor bends are on the low end; severe bends, or a bend plus curb rash, cost more. Send us a photo and we’ll give you an exact price.

Curb rash repair typically costs about $95–$250 per wheel, depending on how deep the damage is and the finish. Light scuffs are on the low end; deep gouges cost a bit more. It’s usually a same-day job — text us a photo for an exact quote.

Powder coating runs about $150 per wheel, or roughly $600–$800 for a set of four, depending on wheel size, prep and colour. A colour change is included in that price.

Both. We’ll fix one curbed wheel or refinish all four. A full set is often the best value — especially for powder coating and colour changes, where doing all four guarantees a perfect match.

A lot. Repair typically runs a fraction of a new OEM wheel — often 30–50% of the cost — and it’s ready in a day or two instead of waiting to order a replacement. Our customers routinely save hundreds per wheel.

Not for long. A bent rim causes vibration, slow air leaks and extra wear on your tire and suspension, and it can stop the tire from sealing properly. Get it straightened sooner rather than later — most bends are a same-day fix.

No. A cracked rim can lose air suddenly and cause a blowout, plus poor handling and vibration. Don’t drive on it — have it inspected and either welded (if the crack is in a repairable spot) or replaced first.

Most curb rash and bent-rim straightening are same-day (often 1–2 hours). Powder coating takes 1–3 days because of curing time, and cracked-wheel welding is usually about a day. We’ll give you a firm turnaround when we quote it.

Yes — we offer mobile cosmetic wheel repair and free pickup across Deerfield Beach, Boca Raton, Pompano, Coral Springs and the rest of Broward, so you don’t have to sit at a shop. Structural repairs (straightening, welding, powder coat) are done at our Deerfield facility.

Repair is almost always worth it — it typically costs 30–50% of a new OEM wheel and is done in a day or two instead of waiting on a special order. Repair makes sense for curb rash, finish wear, moderate bends and small inner-barrel cracks. Replace only when there’s bead-seat damage, a spoke-junction crack, or the wheel has already been straightened twice.

The fastest way is to text or upload a clear photo of the wheel — a full shot of the face plus a close-up of the damage. We’ll send a price right back, usually within one business hour. No need to drive around getting estimates.

For most cosmetic curb-rash repairs, yes — we can work with the tire on. Straightening, welding and powder coating all require the tire to come off, but we handle the dismount and remount for you.

Yes. Our refinishing carries a lifetime warranty against peeling and delamination, and we stand behind every structural repair. If something isn’t right, bring it back and we’ll make it right.

Yes, and it usually pays for itself. Pre-lease-return curb rash repair costs far less than the wheel-damage fee most dealers charge at turn-in. Bring it in a week or two before your return date.

TPMS sensors last about 5–7 years and are cheapest to replace while the tire is already off for a repair. If yours are near end of life, we can swap and re-learn them during your wheel service so you’re not back in the shop next month.

All of them — BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Porsche, Tesla, Lexus, and everyday makes too, plus trucks and large 22"+ wheels. Whether it’s a daily driver or an exotic, we treat every wheel like our own.

Sometimes. Pothole/road-hazard or accident damage may be covered by your policy or a wheel-protection plan. We can provide documentation and photos to support a claim — ask us when you drop off.

Yes — most bent alloy wheels can be straightened on a hydraulic machine and returned to true. We use controlled heat and pressure to walk the bend back to round, which kills vibration and fixes the slow leaks a bent lip causes. Severely bent wheels, cracks at a spoke, or wheels already straightened twice should be replaced for safety.

Many cracks can be fixed — especially on the inner barrel — by a certified technician who TIG-welds the crack and then refinishes the wheel. Cracks on the bead seat or at a spoke junction are not safely repairable and require replacement. We’ll inspect yours and tell you straight.

Yes. A proper repair sands out the gouge, fills and re-shapes it, colour-matches the paint and re-clears the area so it looks factory-new. Done right, you won’t be able to see where the damage was.

Diamond-cut machines the wheel face on a CNC lathe for a bright, two-tone factory look — but it can only be re-cut once or twice before the face gets too thin. Powder coating is a thick, durable single-colour finish that resists chips and corrosion and can be redone any number of times. For daily driving on South Florida roads, powder coat lasts longer; for the OEM machined look, diamond-cut is the match.

Absolutely. We powder-coat wheels into gloss, satin or matte black, bronze, gunmetal, hyper-silver, two-tone and custom colours. Powder coat is far tougher than spray paint, so the new colour holds up to daily driving.

Yes. Wheels don’t have a paint code, so we colour-match by eye to your OEM finish — silver, machined, gloss black, whatever it is. We’ve matched just about every factory finish out there.

Peeling, bubbling or oxidized clear coat is finish failure — very common on coastal South Florida cars because salt air and heat break the coating down. It doesn’t buff out; the fix is to strip the wheel and refinish it. We do this every day.
