Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is an alloy wheel refurbishment?
Alloy wheel refurbishment is a process that repairs and restores damaged or worn alloy wheels to their original or near-original condition. This service can fix issues such as scratches, kerb damage, corrosion, or discoloration, leaving your wheels looking like new.
2. How does your mobile alloy wheel refurbishment service work?
We come directly to your location, whether it's your home or workplace, and perform the refurbishment on-site. This eliminates the need for you to drop off your car at a garage and saves you time. We have all the necessary equipment in our mobile unit to complete the job.
3. What types of damage can you repair?
We can repair various types of damage, including:
Scratches and scuffs
Kerb damage
Corrosion and rust spots
Faded or peeling paint
For severe damage, we may recommend replacing the wheel altogether.
4. How long does the refurbishment process take?
The time it takes to refurbish your alloy wheels depends on the extent of the damage and the number of wheels being serviced. Typically, it takes around 1 to 2 hours per wheel, so a full set of four wheels can be completed within the same day.
5. Will the refurbished wheels look as good as new?
In most cases, yes! Our high-quality materials and advanced techniques ensure your wheels will look nearly new after refurbishment. While the result is often indistinguishable from a new wheel, the final outcome can depend on the condition of the wheel before refurbishment.
6. How much does mobile alloy wheel refurbishment cost?
Prices vary depending on the level of damage and the type of finish you choose. We provide a free quote once we assess your wheels. Our pricing is competitive, and there are no hidden fees for our mobile service.
7. Do I need to prepare my car for the service?
To make the process easier, please park your car in a space where we have easy access to all four wheels and enough room to work around the vehicle. Other than that, there’s no special preparation required.
8. Can you refurbish all types of alloy wheels?
We can refurbish most standard alloy wheels, including painted and powder-coated finishes. However, some highly specialized or severely damaged wheels may not be suitable for refurbishment. We will advise you after assessing your wheels.
9. How long will the refurbishment last?
With proper care, your refurbished wheels should last just as long as new ones. However, factors like driving conditions, road salt, and kerb damage can affect the longevity of the finish. We recommend avoiding harsh chemicals when cleaning and being cautious around curbs.
10. What payment methods do you accept?
We accept various payment methods, including credit/debit cards, bank transfers, and cash. Payment is typically due upon completion of the service.
11. How can I book an appointment?
Booking an appointment is easy! You can contact us via phone, text, email or Facebook. Once we receive your request, we’ll arrange a convenient time to visit your location and refurbish your alloy wheels.
12. Can I drive my car immediately after the refurbishment?
Yes! Once the refurbishment is complete, you can drive your car as normal. However, we recommend avoiding harsh roads or off-roading for the first 24 hours to allow the finish to fully cure.
