Wheel Repair Service in Florida at Dyer Collision Fort Pierce
They say that the scars we can't see are the worst. Maybe. But there's almost nothing more painful than walking up to your vehicle, as beautiful as it is, and seeing curb-rash, chips, dings, and discoloration on your wheels. Maybe you've hit something on the freeway. Maybe they've been that way since you bought it. Maybe your James Bond stunt-parking practice hasn't been going quite as well as planned. Whatever the reason, we can get your expensive wheels cleaned up and looking great in no time, for less than you'd think!
Can I Really Fix Or Repair My Damaged Wheels?
Yes, you can! Dyer Collision has the tools, techniques, and special machinery required to get the job done right. For over 25 years, automotive manufacturers took notice of what was happening with aftermarket accessories. People were upgrading the look of their rides with various wheel and tire packages. The size, color, and material of an upgraded wheel changed the look of a vehicle dramatically and also gave the owner an advantage when they re-sold it. It gave the vehicle a custom, more valuable touch.
OEMs jumped at the opportunity to give their customers enhanced design options. We've been looking at wheel types of all designs, colors, and sizes for a really long time. These wheels are beautiful. And they are expensive. Did you know that some OEMs have wheels that sell for over $4500 apiece? And that's not even getting into the exotic or supercar category where wheel prices can soar to more than $30K per corner! These wheels are made out of sophisticated materials with precision machining. And you know what? So are yours! It's imperative you get the job done right because the safety and look of your vehicle depends on it. Here's a few answers to some common questions that we see down here at the shop:
Can an aluminum wheel be fixed?
Yes. But it must be noted that Aluminum is a very soft, very light, and very sensitive material. Unlike the steel wheels of yesterday, you cannot simply whack these with a 10lb sledge and hope for the best. You can destroy your wheels this way. Fortunately, we have the process in place that can get this done the right way for you!
How much does it cost to repair a rim?
If you have curb rash and surface marring, your wheel can likely be repaired in-situ for about $75 a piece. If chunks and pieces are missing, with damaged tires, and repainting required, you're looking at a window of about $200-$500 per wheel. Considering that most cars have an average price of $1500 per wheel, you are still way ahead of the game going this route.
Can I drive on a bent rim?
It is strongly advised that you not drive on a bent or broken rim. You can lose control at almost any speed, damage tires, damage frame components, axle and hub components, as well as steering system components. Only you can make the call, and depending on your circumstances, and if your immediate safety requires it, you may be able to drive off to the nearest safe place to wait for assistance.
