Will I Need To Have Get My Wheels Rebalanced After Repair Paint Service Work?

Your vehicle is a finely-tuned mechanical beast with wheels delicately balanced to ensure optimal driving performance. When your wheels are unfairly assaulted by a road, rock or curb, the resulting gouges and scratches demand expert attention. But this expert attention routinely involves removing your wheels so they can be properly mounted on the repair equipment. 

Our clients often ask us if this process results in their wheels needing rebalancing after their paint or wheel repair work is complete. I’m happy to report that, no, your wheels will not need to be rebalanced after their repair, as long as they didn’t need rebalancing before the repair was started. 

At Salt City Wheels, we know how important a vehicle’s wheels are to providing the best possible driving experience (not to mention safety!). Our wheel repair engineers are highly-trained experts who know their way around a wheel; we will make sure your wheel is restored to your vehicle exactly as it was removed. 

Of course, if your wheels need rebalancing anyway, it makes sense to have this work completed before you have any repair work done. Tire shops tend to be quite forceful with their wheel manipulation, which can end up adding scuffs and scrapes that weren’t there before. If you’re planning to get your wheels rebalanced anyway, we strongly suggest having this completed before bringing us your wheels, lest your beautiful repair job be undone by an over-zealous wrench.

Your wheels should look and perform at their absolute peak, allowing you to just focus on driving. Salt City Wheels will have your wheels restored to their pristine peak performance in a jiffy - give us a call today at 801 425 3044.
