Types of Alloy Damage We Repair 

Alloy wheels can take a lot of wear and tear in their lifetime, often resulting in common forms of alloy wheel damage that could need repairing. These include dents, scratches and chips: 

  • Dented alloys: Dents are often caused by sudden impacts, like hitting a pothole or a kerb too hard. They don’t just look bad – they can throw off wheel alignment or balance, which might affect your car’s handling. 
  • Scuffed or scratched alloys: Everyday encounters with debris or clipping the kerb can leave scratches across the surface of your alloys. While they may seem minor, they can take a toll on your wheel’s overall look. 
  • Chipped alloys: Flying debris or small stones can chip your alloys. If left untreated, these chips can extend or lead to corrosion, creating a bigger problem in the long run.

How do You Repair Alloy Wheels?

At ChipsAway, our alloy rim repair service ensures a pristine finish – every time. Whether one of our local specialists comes directly to you or you drive your vehicle to one of our Car Care Centres, the repair process typically follows these steps: 

  1. First, the damaged area is cleaned to reveal the extent of the dent, scrape, bump or scuff. The specialist will mask off the tyre to protect it whilst the alloy is being repaired.  
  1. Then, the damaged area is sanded carefully to remove imperfections like kerb scuffs or chips to the alloy trim.  
  1. If the alloy is chipped, a filler is applied to rebuild the wheel’s profile before it’s sanded again to ensure the repair blends seamlessly with the existing surface. 
  1. Once the alloy wheel has been properly prepared, the repair specialist applies a primer to the repaired area, followed by colour-coded paint that perfectly blends into the wheel’s original colour. 

During a mobile alloy wheel repair, the wheels will not be removed from the vehicle. This reduces the time it takes to conduct the repair, as well as helps you save on the cost. 

Why Get Your Alloy Wheels Repaired?

Your alloy wheels do more than just keep your car moving – they’re a big part of your car’s style and performance. Alloy wheels should be repaired to maintain the structural integrity and safety of the wheels. Even minor damage to alloy wheels can lead to issues such as air leakage, decreased fuel efficiency and compromised vehicle handling. Repairing alloy wheels can also help to maintain the overall appearance and value of the vehicle. Our repairs help prevent the risk of further damage that a scuff, scrape or chip can cause from exposure to the weather or corrosive road salts. 

How Much to Refurbish Alloy Wheels?

The cost of alloy wheel repair and refurbishment can vary depending on several factors, including the size of your wheels, the type of finish you’re after and the extent of the damage. Here at ChipsAway, we specialise in affordable repairs that are designed to get your car back on the road as efficiently as possible. Our innovative techniques and technology help our specialists repair alloy damage at a fraction of the cost of a traditional body shop – usually resulting in a repair that is cheaper than your car insurance excess and replacing your wheels outright.
