Rim repair in Lexington, KY
Rim Repair of Lexington fixes the wheel you already have instead of selling you a new one. If your car shakes at highway speed or a tire keeps losing air after a pothole, the wheel is often bent on the inner barrel, where you can't see it from the outside. We straighten it on a hydraulic machine, remount and balance the tire, and check it before you leave.
Cracked rim repair
Cracked aluminum wheels repaired with welding when needed. Quoted after we inspect the crack.
Rim straightening
Hydraulic straightening brings the wheel back to round so the tire seals and the shake goes away.
How our bent wheel repair works
- Call or text a photo: send a picture of the wheel to (859) 800-6363 and we'll tell you if it looks repairable.
- Inspect: we take the tire off and check the wheel for bends and cracks.
- Straighten: the wheel goes on the hydraulic straightening machine until it runs true.
- Mount & balance: the tire goes back on, gets balanced, and is checked for leaks.
Why repair instead of replace?
A new OEM alloy wheel often costs several hundred dollars, and matching wheels can take days to arrive. Straightening a bent rim for $120 usually gets you back on the road the same day on your original wheel.
Not sure if your wheel is bent? A shake that starts around 50–70 mph, a slow leak with no nail in the tire, or a vibration that comes back after balancing all point to a bent rim.
