Wheel and rim repair
Look at the finish and the impact
01
Review curb rash and finish damage
Scraping a curb can leave marks around the rim edge or across the wheel face. Photograph each affected wheel separately and include a close-up of the scraped area. Tell the team how many wheels need attention and whether the finish has been repaired before.
02
Describe more than the appearance
If the damage followed a pothole or curb impact, mention vibrations, air loss or changes in the way the vehicle drives. A photo of curb rash alone cannot establish the condition of the entire wheel. The assessment will determine whether repair is appropriate.
03
Plan related work together
Plaza provides wheel repair, refinishing and alignment services. If the impact also damaged a fender or bumper, include those areas in your inquiry. Reviewing the visible damage and your driving observations together helps the team identify what needs inspection.
Before you book
Your questions, answered.
Can every damaged rim be repaired?
No repair method fits every wheel. The type and extent of the damage must be assessed before the shop can recommend repair or another option.
Is curb rash repair the same as wheel alignment?
No. Curb rash concerns visible wheel damage, while alignment concerns wheel positioning. Tell the team about both cosmetic damage and driving changes so the appropriate work can be considered.
