FAQ

Repair costs depend on the extent of the damage, the parts affected and the repair method required. We provide free, no-obligation quotations for all repairs.

In many cases, yes. Minor scratches and dents can often be repaired without replacing the entire panel, saving both time and money.

Yes. We offer alloy wheel refurbishment, straightening and crack welding to restore damaged wheels safely and professionally.

You should visually check your alloy wheels at least once a month, and always after hitting a deep pothole or kerb. Hairline cracks can sometimes be difficult to spot, especially behind the spokes, underneath brake dust, or on the inner barrel of the wheel. If left unnoticed, cracks can affect the strength and safety of the wheel and may cause a loss of tyre pressure.

If you’ve hit a pothole or noticed your tyre pressure dropping for no obvious reason, don’t take any chances. Bring your vehicle into our workshop and our technicians can inspect your wheels for signs of cracks or other structural damage, helping to keep you safe on the road.

A scratch can become more than just cosmetic when you notice bubbling under the paint, orange or brown discolouration, or flaking paint or lacquer. These signs can indicate that moisture has reached the bare metal underneath, allowing corrosion to develop.

If rust is left untreated, it can spread beneath the paint and cause further damage to the panel. What may start as a small scratch can eventually require more extensive and costly repairs.

If you notice bubbling, discolouration or signs of rust around a scratch, bring your vehicle into our body shop. Our technicians can assess the damage, remove the affected corrosion, prepare the surface correctly and repaint the area to help prevent the problem from spreading.

Correctly inflated tyres help absorb the impact of potholes and protect your alloy wheels from damage. When a tyre is under-inflated, there is less cushioning between the road and the wheel, increasing the risk of the alloy becoming buckled, dented or cracked after a severe pothole impact.

Over-inflated tyres can also affect how your vehicle handles impacts, making it important to keep your tyre pressures at the manufacturer’s recommended level.

UK roads can be unforgiving, and even correctly inflated tyres cannot prevent all pothole damage. If you’ve hit a pothole and notice steering wheel vibration, a change in handling, or visible damage to your alloy wheels, bring your vehicle into our workshop. Our technicians can inspect your wheels and carry out professional wheel repair and alignment where required.

If you’ve curbed a diamond-cut alloy wheel and damaged the lacquer or exposed the bare aluminium, it’s important to deal with the damage as soon as possible. Clean the affected area gently with water, remove any dirt or road salt, and dry it thoroughly. Avoid using harsh or acid-based wheel cleaners on the damaged area, as these can cause further damage.

A damaged diamond-cut wheel can be more vulnerable to moisture and corrosion if left untreated. While cleaning the area can help reduce the risk of further damage, it’s best to have the wheel professionally inspected and repaired as soon as possible.

Our specialist diamond-cut wheel repair service can restore damaged wheel faces using precision equipment and apply a new protective finish to help protect the wheel from further corrosion.
