Velvet Touch Wheel Services, Inc . began in 1997, out of the bed of one pick-up truck. There were few options to repair cosmetically damaged wheels. They either sent wheels out to stationary wheel repair facilities that take days or replace the wheel entirely. Mobile wheel repair solved both issues, fast service without the high cost of wheel replacement. Our philosophy: provide the highest quality wheel repair in San Diego, CA and beyond, and the most friendly, honest & dependable customer service in the industry.

Can all wheel damage be repaired on-site?
Not always. Minor curb rash, light scratches, cosmetic scuffs, and slight bends can often be repaired on-site using specialized tools, high-quality fillers, and precise techniques. Mobile repairs are ideal for these types of issues because they allow you to get your vehicle back quickly without the inconvenience of visiting a shop. However, more severe problems, such as significant structural damage, hairline fractures, or internal instability within the wheel, cannot be safely addressed on-site. These issues require shop-based equipment, advanced testing, and sometimes full wheel replacement to maintain safety and performance. Our technicians will assess the damage carefully and recommend the safest, most effective solution for each situation.
Do repairs really hold up long-term?
Yes. When performed to industry standards, repairs can last just as long as you need them to. We use premium fillers, precise balancing techniques, and finishes carefully matched to the wheel’s original factory coating to restore both appearance and function. After the repair, each wheel goes through a thorough curing and testing process to verify structural integrity and visual consistency. For most cosmetic damage and minor structural issues, you can expect results that are highly durable, blending seamlessly with the rest of the wheel and giving you confidence that your vehicle remains safe and stylish for years to come.
What materials or finishes can you restore?
We restore a wide range of wheels, including various alloys, painted finishes, machined faces, and lacquered surfaces, bringing back their original luster and smooth appearance. Each type of material and finish has unique characteristics, and our technicians are trained to handle them with precision to avoid further damage. Wheels with powder coat or other specialized finishes may require extra care, specific products, or alternative repair methods, and we make sure to explain any potential limitations or special considerations during your initial estimate.
Will the repaired area be noticeable afterward?
We aim to blend repairs so they're as seamless as possible, restoring the wheel’s appearance without obvious signs of work. When repairs are performed by skilled technicians, any remaining imperfections are subtle and typically only noticeable to a trained eye under close inspection. Our process includes careful surface preparation, precise application of fillers or coatings, and meticulous finishing to match the original texture and color. Before any work begins, we set realistic expectations in writing, so you know exactly what results are achievable and can make an informed decision with confidence.
How do I know if my wheel needs repair or full replacement?
Safety is always the deciding factor when evaluating whether a wheel should be repaired or replaced. Wheels that have cracks penetrating the rim, severe warping, or any signs of catastrophic structural damage pose a serious risk and are best replaced to protect both vehicle performance and driver safety. On the other hand, cosmetic issues like curb rash, minor surface corrosion, and shallow bends can usually be repaired effectively without compromising integrity. Our technicians carefully assess each wheel, considering the extent of damage, material type, and driving conditions, so you can trust that the recommended solution prioritizes both aesthetics and safety.
