Aircraft Wheel Repair in Dallas: Why Operators Choose APSS

Operators choose APSS for aircraft wheel repair in Dallas because it is fast and built for it: in-house NDT, parts in stock, a documented process, a highly qualified team and more than 30 years specializing in aircraft wheels, all under an FAA Part 145 certificate. The shop is at 2722 Burbank St, near Dallas Love Field, and services about 96 wheel part numbers.

Who is APSS?

AeroParts and Supply Southwest, Inc., also known as APSS or AeroParts Southwest, is an aircraft wheel repair station in Dallas, Texas. It was founded in 1994.

APSS holds FAA Repair Station certificate #6ERR311D, Part 145 Limited, with Limited Accessories and Limited NDT ratings. The certificate is posted at /faa-certificate.pdf. What FAA Part 145 Certification Means for a Wheel Shop explains what those ratings cover.

The work is aircraft wheels: tire changes, wheel overhauls, NDT, leak checks, balancing and tire disposal, plus overhauled exchange and outright wheels. Each wheel is worked to the current component maintenance manual (CMM) for its part number.

The team brings more than 80 combined years of experience. Every wheel APSS services leaves the shop with an FAA 8130-3.

The shop is open 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM CT, Monday through Friday.

Why choose APSS over other wheel shops?

Choose APSS when you need a wheel back fast and done right. Five strengths make that possible.

Five strengths

• Specialized in aircraft wheels. Wheels are the core of the business: about 96 wheel part numbers from BF Goodrich, Meggitt-Parker, Messier-Bugatti and Cleveland, and more than 30 years of wheel work.
• In-house NDT. Eddy current, dye penetrant and magnetic particle inspection are all performed on site, so a wheel never waits in an outside lab's queue.
• Parts and tires in stock. APSS supplies the tire and all parts for a job, and keeps overhauled exchange wheels in stock for Falcon, Challenger, Hawker, Citation and Gulfstream part numbers.
• A documented process. Every wheel is worked to the current manufacturer CMM for its exact part number, under an FAA-approved repair station manual and written standard operating procedures. Every wheel is inflated with dry nitrogen, leak checked and released with an FAA 8130-3; a wheel outside repair limits is red-tagged and rejected.
• A highly qualified team. NDT inspectors are certified to NAS 410 / SNT-TC-1A, Level II minimum, and the team brings more than 80 combined years of experience.

Which aircraft wheels does APSS service?

APSS works on wheels from four manufacturers:

Manufacturer	Wheel types
BF Goodrich	47
Meggitt-Parker	40+
Messier-Bugatti (Falcon 2000 series)	4
Cleveland	4

That is about 96 wheel part numbers in total. Each one has its own page on the capability list, so you can check your exact part number before you ship.

The core services are the Tire Change and the Wheel Overhaul. Wheel Overhaul vs. Tire Change explains which one your wheel needs. Inside an Aircraft Wheel Overhaul, Step by Step walks through the overhaul from teardown to release.

For several Falcon, Challenger, Hawker, Citation and Gulfstream part numbers, APSS also sells overhauled wheels on exchange or outright. Current stock is on /wheel-exchange.

Why does APSS publish its prices?

Published labor prices let a Director of Maintenance budget a wheel job before picking up the phone. The full list is on the services page.

Service	Nose wheel	Main wheel	Standard turnaround
Tire Change	$450–$625	$500–$675	48 hours
Wheel Overhaul	$650–$825	$750–$925	10–15 days (7 or 4 expedited)
Expedited	+$200 per wheel	+$200 per wheel	24 hours
AOG same-day	+$400 per wheel	+$400 per wheel	2–3 hours

All prices are labor only. Parts, shop supplies and freight are billed as incurred.

The range within each service reflects differences between wheel part numbers. Your quote names the exact figure for your wheel.

What do 30+ years of wheel work look like?

APSS has repaired aircraft wheels since 1994. These are the key milestones:

Date	Milestone
1994	APSS founded
April 2025	Moved into the current facility at 2722 Burbank St, near Dallas Love Field
July 2025	NDT brought in-house, with Level II inspectors performing eddy current, magnetic particle and dye penetrant inspection
November 2025	FAA approved APSS's new repair station manual with expanded ratings: Limited Accessories and Limited NDT
2025–2026	New paint booth, documented standard operating procedures, the wheel exchange program, and local pickup and delivery

What changed for customers

In-house NDT means a wheel does not leave the building for inspection. Eddy current at each Tire Change, dye penetrant at overhaul and magnetic particle on tie bolts are all done on site.

The FAA-approved repair station manual sets out how the shop performs and records work under its ratings. Documented standard operating procedures make that work repeatable from one wheel to the next.

The exchange program gives an aircraft on ground a second route back to service: an overhauled wheel from stock while your own wheel comes back as the core. Aircraft Wheel Exchange vs. Outright vs. Repair explains the terms.

When you call, have the wheel part number, serial number, aircraft type, wheel position and the reason for removal ready. If the wheel saw a hard landing, a runway excursion, a flat-tire roll or an overheat, say so up front; the CMM may call for an inspection or overhaul rather than a tire change.
