Alloy wheel care
Start with the right repair for your wheel
Kerb scuffs, scratches and a worn finish can take away from the look of your car. Alloy wheel repair and refurbishment can improve the appearance of suitable wheels and help you avoid replacing a wheel unnecessarily.
The right treatment depends on the wheel’s material, finish and condition. Contact our team with details or photos of the damage so we can discuss the options and arrange an assessment.

Repair and finish options
Wheel care tailored to the type of damage and finish
Each wheel is different. We’ll need to review its condition and confirm which repair or finish options are suitable.
Wheel refurbishment
Refresh a tired or damaged surface with a repair and refinishing approach chosen for the existing wheel finish.
Diamond-cut finishes
Diamond-cut wheels need an individual assessment. Previous machining, wheel thickness and damage can affect suitability.
Colour and coating options
Ask about repainting or a different finish. Available colours and coating choices depend on the wheel and repair option.
Tyre removal and refitting
Let us know whether the tyre is still fitted to the wheel so we can confirm what preparation and refitting support is available.
Damage assessment
Cracks, bends or severe damage can affect safety and repair suitability. Have the wheel inspected before deciding to repair or reuse it.
Before work begins
Get a clear assessment before choosing a repair
Repair times and prices vary with the wheel, finish and damage. We’ll discuss the likely work after reviewing the wheel rather than promise a result before it has been inspected.
Suitability first
Some damage or previously machined wheels may not be suitable for every repair. Ask us to assess the wheel before booking.
Timing depends on the job
Completion time depends on the repair method and current workload. Contact us for an up-to-date estimate.
Quote after review
The cost depends on the wheel’s condition and the finish required. Get in touch for a quote based on your wheels.
