Wheel Reconditioning

Safety is always a priority. At Bauer Built, safety is part of everything we do. Our professional Wheel Reconditioning services are no exception. We focus on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s safety enforcement program, Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA), to deliver key services that reduce vehicle violations and safety issues with your tractor and trailer tires. We start by conducting pre- and post-trip inspections, record vehicle defects, and repair them before operation.

It’s essential to know when it’s time to recondition your wheels. The proper maintenance of your wheels reduces the chance of failure from a rusty bolt or cracked wheel.

WHY RECONDITION YOUR WHEELS?

Professional Wheel Reconditioning and Wheel Refinishing save you money and could even save your neck. Here’s how:


WHEN TO RECONDITION YOUR WHEELS?

If you detect any of these common signs, it may be time to recondition & refinish your commercial wheels:


OUR 10-STEP WHEEL REFINISHING PROCESS

  1. Customers bring wheels to their local tire centers. Our tire centers send the wheels to one of Bauer Built’s three wheel refinishing plants.
  2. We clean and prepare wheels for refinishing.
  3. Our team blasts the wheels with steel shot & abrasive grit. This removes built-up dirt, grease & old paint.
  4. We then inspect the wheels for potential safety issues.
  5. After the wheel passes inspection, we repaint the wheel. Our Lesta robotic painter applies the paint to a standard 3 mils thickness for a more consistent powder finish. 7 standard paint colors available.
  6. Primer applied (optional).
  7. Wheels are cured in an infrared catalyst oven for 15 minutes.
  8. Powder-coated finish transforms into a durable, permanent finish that looks like new.
  9. We inspect and prepare refinished wheels for customer return.
  10. We label every customer’s wheels. This guarantees that you will receive your own wheels.
