Alloy Wheel Repair

Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists at Vantom Automotive

Alloy wheel damage is not always cosmetic. Impacts from potholes, kerbs, uneven road surfaces, or debris can affect how a wheel performs, how a tyre seals, and how a vehicle handles. Professional alloy wheel repair focuses on correcting these issues properly, restoring function, safety, and reliability rather than simply improving appearance.

At Vantom Automotive, alloy wheel repair is approached as a technical and safety-led process, not a cosmetic shortcut. With over 15 years of professional automotive experience, we assess and repair alloy wheels using controlled, in-house methods designed to correct faults at their source and ensure the wheel is safe to return to the road.

When Alloy Wheel Repair Is Required

Alloy wheel repair is suitable when a wheel has suffered damage that affects performance, balance, or safe operation. Common reasons drivers require professional alloy wheel repair include:

Kerb impacts that damage the wheel edge
Handling issues caused by minor distortion
Air loss linked to corrosion in the bead or sealing area
Damage identified during tyre replacement or inspection
General wheel damage affecting safety or reliability

Alloy wheel repair focuses on correcting specific faults. Cosmetic restoration is only recommended where necessary after the wheel has been confirmed structurally sound.

How Alloy Wheel Repair Differs From Refurbishment

Alloy wheel repair and alloy wheel refurbishment serve different purposes and should not be confused.

Alloy wheel repair addresses functional issues that affect how the wheel performs and how the vehicle drives. Alloy wheel refurbishment focuses on restoring the wheel’s appearance and protective coating once it is already safe and structurally sound.

Where required, alloy wheel repair is always carried out first, with refurbishment recommended only if cosmetic restoration is appropriate afterward. This ensures the correct work is carried out in the correct order.

Our Approach to Alloy Wheel Repair

Every alloy wheel repair begins with a thorough inspection. The wheel is assessed for distortion, cracking, corrosion, and overall condition to determine whether repair can be carried out safely.

Where repair is approved, specialist equipment and controlled techniques are used to correct the issue. Minor distortion is addressed to restore balance, corrosion is treated where it affects sealing or strength, and repairs are only carried out where safety standards can be met.

All alloy wheel repairs are completed in-house, allowing full control over quality, accuracy, and safety standards.

Safety-Led Repairs, Not Guesswork

Alloy wheel repair carries a responsibility. Not every wheel can or should be repaired.

If a wheel is found to be unsafe, we will always recommend replacement rather than proceeding with a repair that does not meet proper safety standards. Honest advice and safety-first decision making are central to how we work.

This approach protects not only the vehicle, but the driver and passengers as well.

Is Alloy Wheel Repair Cost-Effective
