Doctor Windshield bent wheel repair service - cracked wheels - curb rash in Houston, Texas For Sale

Many vehicle owners will leave damaged wheels on their vehicle because they feel that it is "good enough" or that repairs are too costly to justify. The truth is that even a minorly damaged wheel will cost you more money over the long run, and worse, can lead to dangerous driving conditions.
Uncorrected vibrations caused by out of round or bent wheels, will cause uneven tire wear, extra heat and pressure, which will require costly premature tire replacement. Worse, this can cause a tire blow out during high speed driving. Beyond tire damage, these vibrations can also cause serious damage to both the steering and suspension systems of your vehicle. This untrue rotational mass can also be a safety hazard due to the contact patch changing dimension and location with every revolution of the wheel.
Cracked alloy wheel
Some wheels may just have damage to the face or lip from scraping a curb. While this damage may seem cosmetic only, what has happened is that the protective layer of paint has been removed in that area, exposing the raw aluminum to the elements. This will eventually lead to oxidation, and corrosion of the base material. This can lead to low density areas in the aluminum which leak air from the tires or be more likely to crack during normal driving.
Cracked wheels present the most dangerous situation to you as a driver. Cracks are virtually always the result of a significant wheel impact, and thus are almost always accompanied by a bent wheel as well, which will cause all of the damage listed above. Additionally the Crack itself will not only leak air, but can continue to spread eventually leading to a catastrophic failure of the wheel.
At Doctor Windshield Wheel Repair, our repair techniques all center around the assumption that the wheel will eventually be chrome plated. This means that we repair your wheel the correct way, by reshaping the metals, welding in new aluminum where required, and shaping and polishing the metals back to their original shape.
Specialty lathe
While body fillers may work on a wheel that is going to be painted, a proper repair is absolutely required when a wheel is to be chrome plated, black chromed or fusion coated, as these finishes are applied to the wheel via electric current. Obviously electric current does not flow through a body filler.
Once the wheel has been straightened to within oem specifications, and passes a visual inspection for any facial repairs, the wheels are turned on a precision lathe, which machines the bead seat on the wheel perfectly round
Custom finish work on a multi-piece wheel requires additional steps not required for single piece wheels, but the unique customization options make up for the additional cost and time involved.
Multi-Piece wheels cannot be processed for custom finishes in their assembled form, as it would certainly lead to failure of the finish. The wheels must be disassembled, then each piece is processed individually, then reassembled back into the original configuration. This means that each piece may be processed in different finishes, to achieve the ultimate level of customization for your vehicle.
Multi-Piece wheel tolerances
Multi-Piece wheels also must be properly prepped to receive the custom finish of your choice. This means machining a small amount of material from the pieces to accommodate the forthcoming finish work.
