WHEEL BENDER MENDER.COM
Specializing at Repair of Fine Car and Truck Wheels at a Reasonable Price
(NEW: Ask about our Motorcycle Rim repair!)
If you feel $85.60 to fix and repair bent car wheels, truck rims, motorcycle rims including balancing for an instant bolt-on job when you receive your wheel back is a Reasonable Price then come to us and read further.
Following an example: This doesn't look much of a damage, but... ...ask the customer about its affect on driving. This Mitsubishi 17x7 inch OEM rim had quite a bend on the inside. It is demonstrated in the picture below by the red line.
We spun the wheel and held a red felt pen to the inner rim edge. The difference from the red line to the lower edge is how far THE ENTIRE INNER RIM SIDE WAS BENT IN; about 1/4 inches at its worst point. A gradual but VERY SEVERE bend. Impossible for the wheel to run smoothly. The dealer told the customer that the rim is shot and he needs to replace it. Nothing they can do.
REPLACEMENT ESTIMATE:
OEM rim ..................................... $353.00
So, let's say roughly about 400 BUX TOTAL for replacement of the rim, tire and wheel mounting, balancing and tax. We say OUCH...!
OK, so now look what we did to it...
The green line tells you the final story. Same wheel, same spinning and marking procedure as above, just with a green pen. To prove we are not cheating look at the original dirt spot on the spoke in both pictures. You can even see the fainted red line that we wiped off before we put the green line on. And now we hand-drew the red line where it was before and show you the difference.
See the enormous diference? As you can see we restored this rim back to its original shape. But now comes the JOY:
FIXED for ONLY $85.60*! WOW!
So, we saved him about 300 BUX!
... and then he brought us 2 more bent wheels!
(FYI: Prices vary; our present Flat Fee repair price is $85.60 per wheel.)
WHEEL BENDER MENDER does not have a "drive-to" shop but is rather a mobile business out of Hickory NC and has affiliated drop-off and pick-up points. If pick-up cannot be arranged, or if you are not close by you can ship the entire wheel, or only the rim. We will help you to get the best rate with the least hassle. Turn-around is usually within 4 hours, or better said THE SAME DAY* (*excludes shipping and delivery time).
DON'T FORGET: We SPECIALIZE in BENT & OUT-OF-ROUND RIMS, MAINLY CAUSED BY POT-HOLES AND SIMILAR DEFECTS IN THE ROAD. This happens very OFTEN ON THE INSIDE of the rim (to check if there is really a damage jack the car up and spin the rim(s) on the car; DO NOT GET ALARMED IF THE TIRE shows height variances. What you are looking for is the "SIDE WOBBLE" and "OUT-OF-ROUND" of the RIM when spinning the wheel, and ONLY of the RIM). We do not repair cosmetic damage.
