During our specialized procedures, wheels are removed from the vehicle and thoroughly cleaned.  Using restoration technology exclusive to AWRS technicians, the wheel is repaired and refinished to like-new appearance.  Only the highest quality automotive finishes are applied and the wheel does not need to be rebalanced when it is replaced on the vehicle.  The average repair time is approximately 1 hour per wheel and OUR PROCESS MEETS ALL WORLDWIDE SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS.

Metal Reconditioning Room – Our technicians break the front bead of the tire, separating it from the face of the wheel, a “must” procedure for perfect on-site repairs.  This practice enables us to reach the underside of the bead for more effective repairs.  Also, the ability to spray our finishes under the bead guarantees maximum adhesion and durability. 

After bead breaking, the wheel is mounted on a specially designed workbench.  As the technician resurfaces the wheel, metal dust and other particles are drawn away from the work area by an exhaust fan and captured in a special filtering system.  This room also contains our patent-pending wheel straightener/spinning machine.  Not only can we straighten bent wheels without removing the tire, this unique apparatus enables us to polish and replicate lathe lines on machined wheels.  All electrical controls are mounted appropriately to facility the safest and most effective work environment.

The Paint Room – On a single or double top workbench, wheels are primed, painted, clear-coated and cured with short-wave lighting to return wheels to their original luster.  With safety always the ultimate concern, our downdraft paint booth is constructed with sealed electrical fixtures and approved fireproof chemical storage, assuring the utmost in comfort and security.
