Mobile vs Workshop Alloy Wheel Repairs: What’s Better for Drivers in Cheshire & Stoke-on-Trent?

If your wheels are kerbed, corroded or flaking, you’ve probably looked into alloy wheel repair options—and noticed a lot of companies offering mobile services. While mobile alloy wheel repairs in Cheshire and Stoke-on-Trent might seem convenient, they don’t offer the same quality or long-term results as proper in-house refurbishment.

At Vantom Automotive in Congleton, we don’t offer mobile repairs. Why? Because we’re focused on doing things the right way—with full workshop-based alloy wheel refurbishment for a factory-quality finish that lasts.

Here’s what you need to know before choosing between mobile and workshop alloy repair services.

 

What Is Mobile Alloy Wheel Repair?

Mobile repair technicians come to your home or work to quickly spray over cosmetic damage. It’s a temporary fix, not a proper refurbishment.

 

Why Vantom Doesn’t Offer Mobile Repairs:

  • No acid dip or corrosion removal

  • No tyre removal or balancing

  • No powder coating or oven curing

  • Often done with wet paint, which chips easily

  • Only treats the surface, not the structure

Mobile services might make wheels look better for a few weeks—but they rarely last.

 

What You Get with Workshop Alloy Refurbishment at Vantom

At Vantom, we provide full in-house alloy wheel refurbishment in Congleton, serving drivers from Cheshire to Stoke-on-Trent. Our process includes:

  • Tyre removal

  • Full chemical strip and sandblasting

  • Kerb rash and corrosion repair

  • Powder coating and oven baking

  • Tyre refitting, valve check and wheel balancing

  • Optional add-ons like caliper painting, window tinting, and vehicle wrapping

We aim for next day or same day turnaround—with long-lasting, high-quality results.
