Mobile Wheel & Rim Repair Portland Vancouver WA – Wheel Kraft NW

Don’t have time to come in? We come to you!

feature4At WheelKraft Northwest we know you don’t have time to bring your vehicle in to a shop to get your wheels and rims refinished.  That’s why we come to you.  With our specially designed prep station/paint booth inside our self-contained reconditioning service van we can do the job right on site!

Your damaged wheels are removed from the vehicle and placed on our service van. The wheels are then carefully repaired, prepped, primed, painted and finally clear-coated, giving the wheel a like new appearance. The wheels are allowed to cure under infrared lamps for a short time and placed back on your vehicle where it is ready to roll. The total time required to repair the average wheel is about one hour.  How’s that for fast and easy!

Curb damage is an ugly sight on a luxury car.  Keep it looking sleek and new with little to no hassle!  For a free estimate or to schedule an appointment please visit our contact page and a representative will be in touch.

Wheel Rim Straightening

wheel-straightening-1Nothing brings down the performance or the safety of a tire like a bent rim.  That doesn’t mean you need to a buy a new wheel.  Bring it to us and we can straighten that rim for you for a fraction of the cost of replacement.

If your rim is out-of-round your car may have the following problems:

  • Vibration or a Steering Wheel Shake
  • Premature and Uneven Tire Wear
  • Unnecessary Wear and Tear on your Car’s Suspension.

Our qualified technicians can take your broken or bent rim and restore it to extend the life of your wheels.  We could save you hundreds of dollars by simply repairing instead of replacing your rims.  Advantages to straightening are:

  • Existing wheel refinish is maintained
  • Wheels still match age/finish of the rest of the car
  • Most cost efficient

Is the rim too damaged to fix? ( Cracked or Broken)  Not a problem, we can help you find a reasonable replacement that fits your car.  No matter what the needs of our customers we are there to help get them back on the road quickly and safely.  Call or fill out our contact form for more information on how WheelKraft NW can save you money.

“Recently I hit a giant pot hole going down a back alley.  Sure enough I began to feel my vehicle vibrate as I went down the road.  I called up WheelKraft and they gave me a free estimate for having my rim straightened.  Now my car is running better than ever and you can’t even tell which wheel had the work.  Thanks WheelKraft!”

John Waddel, loyal and satisfied customer

We will not Weld a Cracked or Broken Wheel.      Here’s why.    DISPOSITION OF ABNORMALITIES:   ”In the event of distortions or cracks on the alloy wheels, please refrain from repairing them yourself or sending them to any repair shop. The strength of the alloy wheels can be greatly reduced by the heat generated by welding torches. Furthermore, those distortion curvatures are rarely discernible to the naked eye. To avoid such dangers, consult manufacturer.”   Koenig Wheels          Every Alloy Manufacturer has a similar warning and most void any existing warranty if the use of heat is evident on the wheel.

*** Wheelkraft NW is not liable for any damage that occurs during the wheel straightening process. Wheel straightening and wheel damage repair/refinishing are separate charges.

Is Your Wheel Too Bad to Fix? You still have options!

wheel-remanufacturing-1A lot of wheel and tire dealerships like to make you think that if you have a bent rim or damages to your wheels you will need to replace them. That is not always the case. There are many options available to consumers today to extend the life and get the most money from their wheels. Depending on the type of damage, the severity and where it is located you have a few different options.

The first option is refinishing. Refinishing can fix any dings, pits or curb rash you might have on your wheels. Our experienced technicians can come to you and repair all these problems in our customized work truck designed with your convenience in mind.

Straightening is another option. If your rim is bent or damaged we can straighten it back to like new conditions. Best of all you don’t have to replace all the tires on the car to keep them looking uniformed and matching in age and finish.

Sometimes your rim is too badly damaged to just straighten or refinish. That doesn’t mean it’s worthless. There is a good chance that we can remanufacture your wheel and still save you money compared to purchasing a new one. By carefully repairing and reshaping your wheel we can restore it to proper working condition. This is something that cannot be done on all wheels but is an option you should always look into before throwing in the towel on your existing rims.

Finally not all damage is so bad you need to repair it. Some problems can be solved by simply relocating the rim on the car to another spot. This can counter act the problems of the rim so that they are not an issue for you anymore. This is a very commonly known thing but most wheel companies don’t tell you so that they can charge you for more expensive services. Our concern is our customer’s satisfaction and safety. We will happily inform you of a cheaper but still a safe option to ensure your happiness.

Save time, money and help save our landfills by repairing instead of replacing damaged wheels. If you would like to know more about what WheelKraft Northwest can do for you or would like to schedule a free estimate call us, or visit our contact page, and a qualified technician will be happy to help
