Crack Repair
Expert repair for cracked alloy wheels – including bead seat, face, and bend + crack combinations. Fast, honest assessment and safe, reliable results.
Cracks in alloy wheels are common in Minnesota due to harsh winters, potholes, and road salt. They often occur alongside bends and can lead to air leaks or, in serious cases, wheel failure if left unrepaired. At Twin City Wheel Repair, we have over 40 years of experience safely repairing cracked wheels for local dealerships, body shops, and drivers across the Twin Cities.
Crack Repair – Reliable & Proven
Cracks frequently appear on the inside bead/sealing surface or the face of the wheel. We specialize in bend + crack combinations, which many shops avoid.
What We Repair
- Inside bead/sealing surface cracks (most common and usually fixable)
