REPAIR SOLUTIONS
There are many things that can damage expensive alloy wheels, curbs, potholes, debris, road hazards etc. Repairs for damaged wheels fall into two categories:
-
STRAIGHTENING may entail welding and machining but no stripping, polishing nor refinishing.Our straightening “while you wait” service is available at Wheel Collision™ and the Wheel Collision™ Xpress Rim Repair Centre's situated in select Tiger Wheel & Tyres and TYRES & MORE® stores.
-
FULL REFURBISHMENT repairs which may entail straightening, welding, machining, polishing and refinishing which results in a re-manufactured wheel at a fraction of the cost of a new wheel. Full Refurbishments are done at the Wheel Collision™ Centre's. Click here to read more about the Rim Repair process.
