Let’s be real nobody’s walking your lot excited about curb rash.
Scratched, scuffed, and oxidized wheels are one of those small details that quietly kill deals. A customer who was ready to sign starts second-guessing. Maybe they ask for a bigger discount. Maybe they walk. And you’re left wondering how a curb scrape cost you a significant margin.
At Elite Wheel Restoration, we work directly with dealerships across the Bay Area and North Bay to fix that problem fast, affordably, and without pulling vehicles off your lot for days at a time.
Here’s something we hear from dealer managers all the time: “We just knock a little off the price and move on.” We get it, time is money and reconditioning feels like another line item. But think about what that actually adds up to across your inventory.
If you’re discounting $200–$400 per unit on 20 vehicles a month to account for cosmetic wheel damage, that’s $4,000–$8,000 walking out the door. Professional restoration typically runs a fraction of that cost per wheel, and the ROI speaks for itself when your vehicles show clean at full asking price.
We handle curb rash, deep scratches, scuffs, corrosion, peeling clear coat, and refinishing across all common wheel types alloy, aluminum, painted. Most single wheel jobs turn around same-day or next-day. For larger inventory batches, we can schedule mobile service at your lot so your vehicles don’t sit in a queue somewhere off site.
We work with dealerships on a flat rate B2B model, no surprise invoices, no per-hour guesswork. You know your costs upfront, and we show up when we say we will.
We built Elite Wheel Restoration specifically to serve the volume and pace that dealerships operate at. That means:
Fast turnaround – we know your inventory doesn’t sit still for long.
Consistent, professional finishes – every wheel we touch looks like it came off the factory floor.
Flexible scheduling – lot visits, batch work, or drop-off, whatever works for your operation.
Simple billing – flat-rate pricing with no nickel and diming.
If you’re managing a used car operation in the Bay Area or North Bay and want to tighten up your recon process, we’d love to connect. We offer a free lot assessment. We will walk your current inventory, flag every wheel issue, and give you a clear cost estimate before you commit to anything.
