Alloy wheel repair
Do not be alarmed if your alloy wheels are dented, buckled or cracked, because our team are on hand to help! No matter the severity of wheel damage, be sure to reach out to us before considering a replacement, which will likely save you a considerable sum of money.
The Bodyshop also utilises specialist equipment to skillfully weld, straighten, re-align, and, most importantly, protect your alloy’s long-term performance.
Diamond Cut Refurbishment
Our workshop uses a state of the art diamond cutting lathe to bring your diamond cut alloy wheels back to their factory state. Some garages consider this a ‘premium’ service and will charge a high fee to reflect this, however we guarantee you will get a shiny alloy finish, with a low cost!
Polished Wheel Restoration
Our process for restoring worn-out polished alloy wheels involves stripping them down to the bare metal and meticulously repolishing them, resulting in a pristine, mirror-like shine that rivals showroom quality.

Powder Coating
Our powder coating treatment ensures that your repaired rims have an even layer of paint, without any drips or residue left behind. Not to mention this finish will increase your alloy’s resistance to scratches and chips. This treatment also extends to our brake caliper painting service, to make your wheels stand out from the crowd further.

Wheel Repairs Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
An alloy wheel refurbishment price will depend on a multitude of factors listed below:
- Size of the wheel
- Whether the alloy is diamond cut or not
- The type of rim paint (e.g. chrome effect)
- The alloy design, such as split rim
All things considered you would expect to pay around £100+VAT for a cheap alloy wheel refurbishment, however this would be assessed on a case by case basis.
For standard alloy wheels that are cracked or chipped, we would remove the rim from the tyre and apply filler to the damaged area. Once scuffs are no longer visible, the filler is then sanded down to an even layer and finally a paint respray would be applied to the alloy.
Naturally the process is different for diamond cut alloys, whereby a specialist lathe is used to remove any defects from the alloy before fresh paint is applied.
Buckled alloy wheels can be repaired by straightening the buckled area so that the alloy regains its natural shape. As with anything, there will come a point where the damage may be too severe to repair and we would advise an alloy replacement instead, to ensure your car remains safe to drive.
A cracked alloy rim can be fixed by welding the affected area, thereby fusing two parts of the alloy wheel together. We would not advise this repair method if the crack is severe, as the long-term safety of the alloy could not be guaranteed, instead a new alloy would be recommended.
