Rim & Wheel Repair in Hayward, CA

A bent or scraped wheel is more than a cosmetic problem. It can cause vibration, slow air leaks, uneven tire wear, and handling issues. At S&R Motors Collision Center in Hayward, we straighten bent rims, weld cracked wheels, and refinish curb rash on alloy and steel wheels for all makes and models.

Wheels take the hardest hits in a collision, a pothole strike, or a curb scrape. Our wheel specialists use hydraulic straightening equipment to bring bent rims back to factory spec, TIG welding to repair cracked alloy wheels, and refinishing to erase curb rash so the wheel looks like it never happened. When a wheel is too damaged to repair safely, we tell you, and we source an OEM or matching replacement instead.

Wheel damage often travels with body damage. After an accident we inspect every wheel for bends, cracks, and runout as part of the repair, because a wheel that looks fine at a glance can still wobble at freeway speed. Repairing the wheel during collision work also keeps it on the insurance claim instead of becoming a surprise expense later.

If what you actually need is new tires, rotation, balancing, or an alignment, our service center handles that side under the same roof. See our tire and alignment services page or ask us to combine wheel repair with an alignment check in a single visit.

Hayward's hill streets are hard on wheels. California's parking rules have you resting a front tire against the curb on any real grade, and years of that eventually grind rash into otherwise clean rims. We also straighten wheels bent in the same impacts that bring cars in for collision repair: a curb clipped during an evasive swerve, or a hit hard enough to fold the rim along with the fender. If a wheel took that kind of hit, have us look at the suspension while it is off the car.
