Curb Rash Doesn't Mean You Need a New Wheel

One bad turn near a curb can leave an otherwise beautiful wheel scraped, gouged, and damaged.

Fortunately, cosmetic wheel damage doesn't always require buying an expensive replacement rim.

Richmond Mobile Rim Repair specializes in repairing common cosmetic wheel damage throughout the Richmond area. Depending on the wheel and severity of the damage, refinishing can restore a much cleaner appearance without replacing the entire wheel.

Curb rash is especially noticeable on vehicles with larger wheels, low-profile tires, dark finishes, or detailed factory rims.

Repairing cosmetic damage can make a major difference in the overall appearance of the vehicle and is especially worthwhile before selling, trading, or returning a leased vehicle.
