About the shop

The Cleveland auto repair shop other shops send wheels to

Most of what comes through the door started somewhere else. A dealer quoted a whole new wheel. A body shop said the frame was too far gone. A muffler chain wanted to sell a complete system for one cracked joint.

Arc Wheels Welding has been on Corlett Avenue since 2023. It is one welder, one bench, and a lift, which is exactly why the work gets the time it needs.

  • Rim and wheel repair
  • Frame and trailing arm
  • Exhaust and muffler
  • Rust and rocker panels
  • Aluminum welding
  • Custom fabrication

I went to about 7 shops. No one would weld my tire, I took it to these guys. He laughed and said, I got you. He fixed all 3 cracks. I would definitely be back and recommend everyone to you.

Brought my van to Arc Wheels Welding and I was not disappointed. I had a pretty bad spot on the frame that no one would repair, Rashad took a look at it and we can fix that. True to his word the repair looked great. The price was more that fair and they communicated with me thru the whole process.

My mower deck sheared off and they had it welded and ready the same day. Super friendly, professional, and easy to work with. Price was very reasonable too. Definitely recommend.

Rim repair, exhaust repair and rust repair questions

The questions Cleveland drivers ask before they bring a vehicle to Corlett Ave.

Can a cracked alloy rim be repaired instead of replaced?

Usually yes. Most cracked and bent alloy wheels we see are a rim repair, not a parts order. We prep the crack, control the heat so the alloy does not warp, weld it, then true and finish the wheel. A bent rim that has been driven on hard, or a wheel cracked through the barrel in more than one place, is the case where we tell you to replace it. You get that answer straight before any work starts.

What does rim repair cost in Cleveland?

It depends on whether the wheel is cracked, bent, or both, and on the finish. Rather than quote a number that turns out to be wrong when the wheel is on the bench, we quote from photos. Send a picture of the damage to 216.309.1567 and you get a real number and a timeframe back, usually the same day the shop is open. Quotes are free.

Is a welded wheel safe to drive on?

A properly repaired wheel is. The two things that matter are heat control and truing. Too much heat weakens the alloy around the repair, and a wheel that is not trued afterward will vibrate and leak air. Both are handled here as part of the job. We will also tell you when a wheel is past repair, because putting a bad wheel back on a car is not worth the sale.

Do you do frame repair and trailing arm mount repair?

Yes, and it is a large part of what the shop does. Ohio road salt takes trailing arm mounts, frame rails and shock towers first. We cut back to clean steel, fabricate and weld in new plate, then coat and seal it. If a body shop already turned the vehicle down, that is usually the work we end up doing.

Can you fix an exhaust leak or a broken muffler hanger?

Yes. Muffler repair, exhaust repair, catalytic converter welding, tailpipe alignment and hanger and bracket welding are all done here. When a stock part does not fit or is not worth buying, we fabricate the section instead. Most exhaust repair goes out the same day.

Do you offer mobile welding around Cleveland?

Yes. When a trailer, gate, railing or piece of equipment cannot come to the shop, we bring MIG, TIG and stick welding to it across Cleveland and the east side. Shop work happens at 12212 Corlett Ave, Monday to Friday, 1pm to 8pm.
