Curb Rash Repair

Scraped a lip parking too close to the curb? That scuff doesn't mean a new wheel. We sand, re-profile, and color-match curb rash back to factory — most jobs same-day, for a fraction of replacement cost.

Every kind of curb damage

From a light scuff to a deep gouge, the lip can be rebuilt and refinished.

Light Scuffs

Surface scrapes on the lip blended out and refinished so the edge looks factory again — often a same-day fix.

Deep Gouges

Material that's been ground away is filled, re-shaped, and re-profiled to restore the original lip line.

Machined-Face Rash

Curbed a bright machined or diamond-cut edge? We re-cut and re-seal it instead of painting over the shine.

Painted & Coated Lips

Gloss black, bronze, and powder-coated lips color-matched so the repair disappears into the rest of the wheel.

How we repair curb rash

01

Assess the Lip

We check how deep the rash goes and whether the structural edge is compromised. Cosmetic rash is routine; a cracked or bent lip gets repaired first.

02

Sand & Fill

The damaged area is sanded back and, where material is gone, filled and rebuilt so the lip returns to its original profile.

03

Re-Profile & Prime

The edge is re-shaped to match the factory line and primed for a finish that actually holds.

04

Color-Match & Clear

Paint or finish is matched to the rest of the wheel and cleared — so one repaired wheel doesn't stand out against the other three.

Why curb rash matters more in Arizona

Bare alloy exposed by a curb scrape corrodes — and the Valley's heat and UV speed that up. A small scuff left open can turn into pitting and a dull, spreading patch within a season.

Sealing the repair with UV-aware finish stops the corrosion before it starts and keeps the color matched through desert summers.

See the before & after

We photograph the curbed lip before we start and the refinished edge after — so the repair speaks for itself, no "trust us" required.

Curb Rash Repair Questions

How much does curb rash repair cost?+
Curb rash pricing depends on how deep the gouge is and the finish that has to be matched, so we quote per wheel — and it's always a fraction of the $300–$1,200 a replacement OEM wheel runs. Send a photo for a firm quote.
Is curb rash repair worth it or should I replace the wheel?+
For cosmetic curb rash, repair almost always wins — you keep your original wheel and pay a fraction of replacement cost. We only recommend replacement when the lip is cracked or bent beyond safe repair, and we'll tell you straight if that's the case.
Can you fix curb rash on painted or machined wheels?+
Yes. We color-match gloss black, bronze, gunmetal, and two-tone painted lips, and we re-cut and re-seal machined or diamond-cut edges instead of painting over them. The goal is a repair you can't spot.
How long does curb rash repair take?+
Most curb rash is repaired the same day. Deeper gouges, multiple wheels, or full refinishing can take a little longer — we confirm the timeline when you book. Call or text +1-480-235-9301.
Do you offer curb rash repair near me in the Phoenix area?+
Yes — we serve Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Phoenix, and the surrounding East Valley by appointment. Text a photo of the rash and we'll quote it and set a same-day or next-day slot.
