Cosmetic Wheel Repair

What is Cosmetic Wheel Repair?

At Wheel Repair Specialists of Michigan, we’re dedicated to transforming your wheel’s setbacks into mere anecdotes of the past. If your wheels have endured the all-too-common encounters with curbs or potholes, leading to cosmetic damage, we’re here to help. Our expertise extends to repairing and restoring wheels to a condition that’s as close to mint as possible.

We define cosmetic damage broadly, covering everything from ‘curb rash’ to scratches, nicks, dings, or even slight deformations. Our process begins with a thorough inspection. One of our certified specialists will carefully assess your wheel, determining the precise steps required for its rejuvenation.

While each wheel’s story is unique, our repair process typically unfolds in several meticulously executed phases. First, we remove the wheel, followed by an extensive cleaning process. Next comes the actual repair work, where we address each imperfection with precision. We then prime, paint, and finish the wheel with a patented clear coat, featuring advanced paint adhesion technology. This not only restores your wheel’s aesthetics but also ensures lasting durability.

Color matching? Absolutely. We use OEM-approved paint, meticulously matched to each wheel, guaranteeing a finish that’s visually indistinguishable from its original state. And because we believe in the enduring quality of our work, all of our repairs come with a lifetime warranty against paint peeling.

Trust Wheel Repair Specialists of Michigan to not just repair, but to revive the beauty and integrity of your wheels, ensuring they spin as proudly as the day you first took to the road.

Opting for wheel refinishing is not only a savvy choice for restoring the beauty of your wheels, but it’s also a much more cost-effective option than replacing an entire wheel. Trust us to expertly restore the luster and appeal of your wheels, making them look as good as new without the hefty price tag of a full replacement.

  • Type of wheel
  • Extent of damage
  • Number of wheels to repair
  • Repeat business opportunity
