Our Proven Rim Leak Assessment and Repair Process
- Visual Inspection:
Our technicians begin by examining the rim and tire for visible damage, debris, or foreign objects that could cause air leaks. - Soap & Water Test:
A soapy solution is applied to the rim and tire surfaces. Bubbles forming at specific points indicate the location of the leaks. - TPMS Analysis:
Using the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), we assess for significant pressure drops. Persistent alerts often point to slow leaks or underlying issues. - Wheel Removal & Inspection:
If the initial tests do not confirm the source, the wheel is removed for a thorough inspection of the inner and outer rim edges. - Bead Seat Examination:
The bead seat area, where the tire meets the rim, is carefully inspected for damage, corrosion, or debris buildup that could compromise the seal. - Valve Stem Check:
We examine the valve stem for any cracks, deterioration, or damage that might cause air loss. - Corrosion Assessment:
For aluminum rims, we evaluate the extent of corrosion. Minor corrosion is cleaned and treated, while severe cases may require rim replacement. - Leak Severity Categorization:
Leaks are classified as slow (requiring precise sealing) or rapid (requiring immediate repairs) to determine the appropriate repair strategy. - Dunk Tank Test:
For hard-to-detect leaks, we submerge the wheel in a dunk tank. Bubble streams confirm even the smallest leaks, ensuring no issue is left unresolved. - Rim Repair and Sealing:
Based on the assessment, we cleaned the bead seat area, applied high-quality sealants, and resealed the tire. If necessary, damaged components are replaced.
