Wheel Refurbishment

On the mobile units we can carry out a number of services. Please note we are not smart repairers and we do specialise in Wheel refurbishment only, hence being able to provide the best possible results. With the mobile service we refurbish the whole face of the wheel and not just the damaged area. Kerbing scuffs and scrapes can be repaired at your choice of location. If the wheels are corroding we suggest that they are acid stripped and powder coated at one of our depots. The process to repair wheels on the mobile van is as follows:

• We jack up the vehicle and remove the damaged wheels
• The tyres are deflated and the bead is broken- this means that the tyre is moved about an inch off the rim to enable us to repair all damage.
• The wheels are then sanded and repaired using a number of techniques
• We then primer the wheels and bake them under infer-red lighting
• We then ‘flat’ the wheels off to ensure a smooth paint finish
• The wheels are painted in your chosen colour and baked again
• We then lacquer the wheels to ensure the paint will be protected. They are then baked one final time to harden.
• The tyres are inflated- as we don’t remove the tyres completely there is no need for them to be rebalanced.
• Wheels are fitted back to the vehicle.
• Then the wheels are then torqued to manufacturer’s specifications.
