Crack Repairs

Cracked wheels are an issue for both cosmetic and safety reasons. From a cosmetic point of view, cracks are unsightly and are likely to lead to corrosion. With cracks gradually expanding over time, the safety of your vehicle is a more pressing concern. The integrity of a cracked rim will be compromised and can cause tire, steering and suspension issues.

Why You Shouldn’t Delay in Fixing Cracked Rims

Cracked wheels are a serious concern that shouldn’t be ignored. As you mentioned, the impact from potholes, road debris, or accidents can cause significant damage to aluminum rims. When a wheel cracks, it can affect the structural integrity and performance of the entire vehicle. The crack may lead to air loss in the tire, uneven wear, or even more dangerous issues while driving.

Getting your rims checked immediately is important for several reasons:

Safety – Cracked rims can compromise your vehicle’s ability to handle properly, especially at high speeds or under heavy loads.
Prevent Further Damage – Small cracks can worsen over time, leading to complete wheel failure or damage to the tire.
Cost-Efficiency – Catching the issue early and repairing the wheel could be much cheaper than replacing it entirely.

Professional inspection and repair can often restore a cracked wheel to like-new condition, ensuring safety and performance without the need for an expensive replacement.

Our wheel repair services aim to repair any structural damage before completing all cosmetic improvements. We inspect the finished rim to ensure all signs of cracks are repaired and that the rim is safe. Finally, the wheel can be fitted and checked for balance. Alloy crack repair is a relatively quick process, but timescales may vary depending on the severity of the damage.
