What is Curb Rash

Curb Rash is a term used to describe the scratches, scuffs, or damage that occurs on the rims or wheels of a vehicle when it comes into contact with a curb, parking block, or other hard object. This type of damage is not only unsightly, but it can also cause functional issues, such as vibration, uneven tire wear, and even damage to the tire itself. Curb Rash can range from minor scratches to significant damage that requires professional repair. 360 Wheel Service’s expert Technicians are skilled in curb rash repair and can make your car’s wheel appearance more better so that you can enjoy your every ride.

Causes of Curb Rash

Curb Rash is caused by the wheels of a vehicle coming into contact with a curb, parking block, or other hard object. Some common causes of Curb Rash include:

● Misjudging the distance between the curb and the vehicle while parking.

● Turning too sharply when maneuvering in tight spaces.

● Hitting a pothole or debris in the road that causes the wheel to impact the curb.

● Failing to avoid curbs or parking blocks while driving or making turns.

● Speeding while driving in a parking lot or garage, which can make it difficult to control the vehicle.

While Curb Rash can be caused by a variety of factors, it is generally preventable with careful driving and parking habits.

Our Process of Curb Rash Repair

1. Assessment: A professional technician will examine the wheel to determine the extent of the damage and assess whether it can be repaired or if a replacement is necessary.

2. Preparation: The technician will clean the wheel and surrounding area to ensure that there is no debris or dirt on the surface.

3. Filling and Sanding: If the damage is minor, the technician will fill in the scratches with a special compound and sand the surface until it is smooth.

4. Painting and Finishing: The technician will use a special paint that matches the color of the wheel and apply it evenly to the damaged area. Once the paint has dried, a clear coat will be applied to protect the surface.

5. Final Inspection: The technician will perform a final inspection to ensure that the repair has been completed to the highest standards and that the wheel is free of any defects.
