Wheel Rim Straightening
Nothing 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:

“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!”

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