Car alloys sustain damage when they are scraped or scratched, and they can also become corroded over time. This problem leads many people to ask: can alloy wheels be repaired? The answer is yes; car alloy wheel refurbishment is a service that restores an alloy wheel close to its original condition. Some mechanics also offer a specialist service called diamond cut alloy repair.
During a car wheel refurbishment, a strong acid strips the lacquer coating on the alloy. If there is any corrosion, the wheel is usually sandblasted. A filler is used to fill in scratches and dents before the wheel is heated up and powder coated. Finally, a clear coat of lacquer is applied. You can find out more about how alloy wheels are refurbished in this guide.
An alloy rim repair doesn't take very long, and it often works out cheaper than having a new alloy welded. Some mechanics will even carry out a mobile alloy wheel repair near you - this guide explains how much it costs on average.
