Aren’t these wheels pretty? They’re from a VW Caddy, and in these photos you can see that our repair work has restored them to their original finish, enabling the beauty of the star shape design to shine through.
They weren’t always so shiny, however, as the alloys had suffered from an extremely common problem – kerb damage. If you’re lucky enough not to be familiar with this phenomenon yet, it’s simply the damage that occurs when alloys come into contact with kerbs or abrasive surfaces such as potholes.
It’s not something that occurs just as a result of bad driving: kerb damage can happen simply through pure bad luck. Potholes, for example, are incredibly common on the UK’s badly maintained roads, and can sometimes be almost impossible to avoid.
However you incur kerb damage, it’s important to remember that all is not lost. As you can see from the photographs, it’s entirely possible to repair your alloys and have them looking as good as new. Could you have ever guessed that these alloys had ever been anywhere near a kerb? We hope not!
Repairing is a simple and cost-effective alternative to replacing your alloys, and our team of experts can have you back on the road in as little as 48 hours. The repair process will depend on the damage and the type of alloys you have, but in general terms it involves stripping them back completely to ensure all the damage is removed, then repairing the damage with a process such as diamond cutting before applying a high quality paint and finish.
As an extra bonus, our technicians can also change the aesthetic of your alloys during a repair, so if you’ve been thinking that you want to change your alloy colour or style, it’s a great opportunity to kill two birds with one stone!
