Alloy Wheel Repairs
Diamond-cut alloy wheels are a premium wheel finish known for their sharp, high-end appearance and precise craftsmanship. The process involves machining the face of the alloy wheel on a specialist lathe, where a fine diamond-tipped cutting tool removes a thin layer of metal. This creates a smooth, bright, bare-metal surface with a mirror-like shine that contrasts beautifully with painted or lacquered sections of the wheel.
The result is a clean, modern look that highlights the wheel’s design lines and gives the vehicle a more refined and sporty presence. Because the cut surface is exposed aluminium, diamond-cut wheels are finished with a protective clear lacquer to guard against corrosion and environmental damage.
Diamond-cut alloy wheels are commonly found on higher-spec and luxury vehicles, as well as performance models, due to their striking visual appeal. While they require slightly more care than fully painted wheels, regular cleaning and proper maintenance help preserve their distinctive finish and long-lasting elegance.

Alloy Straightening
Alloy wheel straightening is a specialist repair process designed to restore wheels that have become bent or buckled due to impacts such as potholes, kerbs, or road debris. Even minor distortions can cause vibrations, uneven tyre wear, or air leaks, making straightening an important step in maintaining both safety and driving comfort.
The process involves carefully assessing the wheel for damage, then using precision hydraulic equipment and controlled heat (where appropriate) to gradually reshape the alloy back to its original specification. Skilled technicians make small, measured adjustments to ensure the wheel runs true again without compromising its structural integrity.
Once straightened, the wheel is checked for balance and alignment to confirm it meets manufacturer tolerances. Alloy wheel straightening is a cost-effective alternative to replacement, helping extend the life of the wheel while restoring smooth handling, stability, and performance.
Weld Repairs
Alloy wheel crack welding is a specialized repair process designed to restore the structural integrity and safety of damaged alloy wheels. Using precision TIG welding techniques, cracks caused by impacts, potholes, or road stress are carefully cleaned, prepared, and welded with compatible alloy materials. The repaired area is then reshaped and balanced to ensure strength, durability, and smooth performance. When carried out by skilled technicians, crack welding extends the life of the wheel, maintains proper alignment, and provides a cost-effective alternative to wheel replacement—without compromising safety or appearance.
