Bent Rim Repair & Straightening
A bent rim causes vibration, uneven tire wear, and slow air leaks. Florida's potholes and construction plates bend more wheels than most drivers realize. Using hydraulic straightening equipment, we bring the wheel back to true — safely restoring the seal and ride quality without compromising the metal.
