Wheel & Rim Repair in Guttenberg, NJ

Curb rash and bent rims are easy to acquire and costly to replace. We repair and refinish wheels rather than replacing them wherever possible.

Wheel & Rim Repair — Guttenberg Auto Body, Guttenberg, NJ

How we repair a wheel

  • Curb rash: refinished. For curb rash, the scrapes and gouges on the lip and face, we sand the damage, rebuild the shape, and refinish the wheel to match.

  • Minor bends: straightened. A minor bend, usually on the inner barrel, can often be straightened safely.

  • Unsafe damage: replaced. Some wheel damage is not safe to repair, and we tell you when that is the case: a crack, missing metal, a bend on the structural face, or a wheel that has already been straightened several times. Those get replaced rather than patched, because a wheel is holding your car and your tire’s air.

  • Suspension checked too. A hard pothole that bent a wheel often bent a suspension part too, so we check both.

Why you might need it

  • Repair costs less. A new set of wheels costs far more than a repair. Fixing the ones you have gets the look back without the price of replacement.

What it includes

  • Curb rash and scrapes repaired
  • Bent rims straightened where safe
  • Refinished to match
  • Checked for a true, safe fit

What to expect
