FAQs
At Transalloy Wheels, we understand that you may have questions about our Alloy Wheel Repair, refurbishment, and diamond cutting services. That’s why we’ve put together this FAQs section to provide clear answers to the most common queries we receive. Whether you’re wondering about the repair process, turnaround times, or the types of damage we can fix, we’re here to help.
With years of experience in the industry, we have built a strong reputation for delivering high-quality alloy wheel services across Birstall, Bradford, Leeds, Huddersfield, Halifax, and West Yorkshire. Our team is dedicated to providing expert craftsmanship, ensuring your wheels are restored to their best condition. Whether your alloys have suffered from kerb damage, corrosion, or require a completely new look, our state-of-the-art techniques, including diamond cutting and powder coating, deliver outstanding results.
One of the most common FAQs we receive is about the durability of alloy wheel repairs and refurbishments. We use high-quality materials and advanced techniques to ensure long-lasting finishes that not only enhance the appearance of your wheels but also provide excellent protection against everyday wear and tear. We also offer a range of colour customisation options, allowing you to personalise your alloys to match your vehicle’s style.
If you’re concerned about how long the process takes, we aim to offer efficient turnaround times without compromising on quality. Most standard refurbishments and repairs can be completed within a few days, and for added convenience, we even offer a loan wheel service so you can stay on the road while we work on your alloys.
We also receive many FAQs about pricing and whether alloy wheel repair is more cost-effective than replacement. In most cases, refurbishment is a much more affordable option than buying new wheels, and our experts will always provide honest advice on whether a repair is suitable or if a replacement is the better option.
If you have a question that isn’t covered in our FAQs, don’t hesitate to contact our team. We are always happy to provide expert advice and guidance on the best solution for your alloy wheels.
We remove tyres if required and put the alloys into our acid bath dip for the chemical removal of all dirt, paint and impurities. At this point we can assess any damage, scratches and scuffs that need repairing.
Each wheel is then individually shot blasted in one of our blast wash machines. Following that we check for defects and impurities and hand finish the alloy to ensure a smooth finish for powder coating or painting.
This depends entirely on what you want doing and if repairs are needed prior to other refurbishment work. Our team will advise you of our anticipated turnaround time when you
We generally quote between 2-4 days to complete work but our aim is to get you back up and running as soon as we can.
We carry a wide range of ‘slave wheels’ in popular sizes, that we are happy to fit onto your vehicle whilst we have your wheels in our workshop. Just ask what we have when you call us.
Powder primed wheels are loaded into our powder coating booth where we powder spray them in the colour of choice then oven bake at high temperature, remove them and place on special hangers to cool.
At Transalloy Wheels, we specialise in diamond cut refurbishments using state of the art CNC equipment. The process involves taking a powder coated wheel and adding a machine cut finish to the front face to produce a shiny, bare metal effect.
Powder Coating is the best process to give long lasting protection top your alloys. It can maintain its finish in excess of 15 years but this does of course depend on how well the powder coating has been done in the first place as well as the materials used. However, it is proven to resist corrosion, the weather and general wear and tear as its more durable than paint or other liquid coatings.
This is when you create your own look for your wheels – maybe a special colour to give your car a unique appearance. If you fancy anything a little out of the ordinary, we can order any colour you want from traditional conservative colours to downright quirky! Here at Transalloy Wheels we love a customisation project and are happy to chat to you about what you are trying to achieve.
In many cases yes. We have vast experience in straightening and sorting out buckles and other problems such as split rims and cracks. This is due to our expertise in welding, however we will never repair a wheel that we think is beyond saving and will advise you accordingly.
