Do you have scratched, dented, or bent wheels? These problems aren’t just unsightly; they can affect your steering and other problems. If you have damaged rims, come see the experts at West Side Tire and Automotive for wheel repair in Jersey City, NJ.

When You Need Wheel Repair
In some cases, wheel damage is purely cosmetic. However, more serious damage can actually affect the handling of your vehicle. Many drivers experience rim damage due to potholes or hitting a curb. If the force is powerful enough, it may bend or twist your wheel. Some rims will even crack. When this type of rim damage happens, it becomes a danger to you and other drivers.
Bent and damaged wheels can reduce your handling as well as your gas mileage. It’s also likely that your tires will wear unevenly, which can quickly add up in costs. Driving with damaged wheels and tires in the summer can be especially dangerous, as you’ll increase your chances of a blowout. Don’t risk a potentially deadly accident with simple maintenance and repair! Repairing a bent rim is not a difficult repair, and the pros at West Side Tire And Auto NJ can get you driving smoothly again in no time.
Depending on the extent of the damage, it is often much more affordable to repair your wheels than replace them. However, if welding or refinishing is required, you may save money by simply purchasing a new set of wheels. Our automotive technicians can help you determine the best course of action based on your budget.

Signs That You Need Tire Repair
In general, you should have your tires rotated every 5,000 to 8,000 miles, though it’s best to follow your manufacturer’s recommendation. Whether you have front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, or all-wheel drive, every car needs to have its tire rotated regularly for safety and to ensure even wear.
​
Even amounts of wear on your tires is important for many reasons. Not only will it provide balanced traction, but it will also improve your mileage. Plus, tires with extreme uneven wear will need to be replaced, costing you extra money on new tires. One of the biggest problems we encounter is tires with uneven wear, usually due to poor wheel alignment, improper tire pressure, or suspension damage. If you notice your car pulling to one side when driving or experience a rough ride, come in for an inspection.
Other tire problems include flats and damaged tires. Even if debris does not puncture your tire and cause a leak, the tire is more susceptible to failure. This can become a serious problem when driving over rough roads or in the hot summer months.
