Mobile Rim Repairs in Melbourne – South East’s Trusted Wheel Repair Experts
Looking for professional rim or wheel repairs in Melbourne? At Rim Remedy, we specialise in mobile rim repairs across South East Melbourne and surrounding suburbs. Whether you’ve got curb rash, scratched rims or scuffed paint, we bring your wheels back to life — fast, affordable, and at your convenience.
We deliver up to 80–90% OEM finish using high-grade paint and clear coat — ideal for those seeking the “factory look” without the price tag of full workshop refurbishments.
✅ What is an OEM Wheel Finish?
An OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) finish refers to the exact colour, gloss and texture your wheels had when your vehicle left the factory. This is typically achieved with:
Powder coating
CNC lathe machining (used for diamond-cut wheels)
Factory-controlled multi-stage processes
While these techniques are not part of mobile repairs, our paint-based method still restores your wheels to a clean, near-original condition.
🎨 Our South East Melbourne Wheel Repair Approach
We focus exclusively on paint-only cosmetic repairs, meaning:
No powder coating
No CNC lathe machines
No need to remove your wheels
We target cosmetic issues like:
Curb rash
Light scratches
Flaking paint
Minor scuffs
Using premium automotive-grade paint and clear coat, we replicate the look of your original wheels — delivering up to 90% OEM-like appearance right at your doorstep.
⚠️ Transparent Results. No False Promises.
We’re upfront about what our Melbourne mobile rim repair service can and can’t do:
Results are not identical to the original factory finish
Minor colour or texture variation may occur
You may notice subtle differences in direct light or from certain angles
That said, for most people, the difference is unnoticeable — and your wheels will look significantly better than before.
💰 Affordable Alternative to Full Wheel Refurbishment
Thinking of full powder coating or CNC machining? Here’s what that typically involves:
Removing your wheels
Multi-day repair wait
A much higher cost
Our mobile wheel repair service in Melbourne offers a faster, more cost-effective solution. Most repairs take just 1–2 hours and can be done at your home or workplace — no hassle, no downtime.
👌 Ideal for:
Pre-sale touch-ups
Lease returns
Everyday scratches or curb damage
