Questions we are frequently asked...

Why should I use an in house diamond cutting alloy wheel repair service rather than a mobile smart repair?

We offer a complete diamond cut process which includes powder coating the entire wheel, something that a mobile wheel repair service or smart repair won’t be able to achieve. This protects your allow wheel from any future corrosion damage. A mobile repair service may be cheaper but beware; they may only be able to offer a cosmetic touch up finish which is not as long lasting as a full repair.

Wheel preparation is an important factor to a longer lasting result and a better finish for your alloy wheel. We ensure a full and complete strip down which is carried out on the on the premises, which removes previous layers of lacquer and paint which cannot be done by a mobile service.

We also remove the tyre from the alloy, something not all mobile repair companies do, opting to simply mask off the tyre. We think that to achieve true quality and a long lasting result the tyre should be fully removed before it is prepared or painted front and back.

Will my wheels achieve a look as good as new?

Can any make or model of alloy wheel be refurbished?

We believe it is possible, but we ask that you inform us by email if you have a unique or rare alloy wheel so we can check with our technicians what is and is not possible. Ideally, email us a picture of your alloys and give us details of the make, diameter size, composition and what type of refurbishment you would like.

Do I drop off my alloys on or off the car?

You have the option to do both at our Northolt address and your alloys to our Staines-Upon-Thames address.

How can I tell what finish my alloy wheels have?

If your alloy wheels have a diamond cut finish they will have faint lines that show on the polished part of the alloy (the face of the alloy wheel that has been cut). It looks a bit like the back of a CD. If you are not sure, send us a picture and we can help identify this for you. For painted alloy wheels we recommend a powder coat (opposed to wet paint) as there are less drips and a smoother better-quality finish.

Can you match the centre caps of my wheels?

We can paint a close match in colour with wet paint on plastic caps and offer a powder coat on metal caps. Your caps must be in good condition for a refurbishment.
