ALLOY WHEEL REFURBISHMENT

Precision engineering for a factory finish

Over time, alloy wheels can suffer from curb damage, scratches, and general wear, diminishing the overall look of your vehicle. To learn more about the different types of alloy wheel damage and how we repair them, visit our dedicated Alloy Wheel Repair page.

Our DCR PRO Diamond Cut Wheel Refinishing service utilises state-of-the-art CNC technology to restore your wheels with exceptional accuracy and a flawless, high-gloss finish.

Unmatched quality and detail

The diamond cutting process

Our advanced DCR Pro CNC lathe is specifically designed for precision alloy wheel restoration. The process involves:

Inspection & Preparation – The wheel is assessed for damage, thoroughly cleaned, and securely mounted onto our precision-engineered lathe.

Diamond Cutting – Using high-speed, micron-accurate CNC technology, a fine layer of alloy is precisely shaved from the wheel surface. This removes imperfections while maintaining the structural integrity of the wheel.

Protective Coating – A durable lacquer is applied, sealing the freshly cut surface to protect against corrosion and environmental damage.

Final Curing & Quality Check – The wheel undergoes a controlled curing process and a thorough quality inspection to ensure a perfect, long-lasting finish.

Our expert team, combined with the industry-leading DCR Pro CNC diamond-cutting lathe, ensures your wheels receive a precision-engineered finish with factory-level accuracy.

Real Feedback, real results

What our customers are saying

“I had a rear bumper scuff after someone had reversed into me in a car park. I was quoted a really good price and even better was the fact I dropped the car off at 0800 and it was done by lunchtime! Looks like it never happened – a truly fantastic job!”

Frazer Miller

“I was really pleased with how well you managed to fix it. With my car only being 6 months old it was frustrating to get a dent like that, and it’s great to have the bodywork looking new again. Far better than paying the £300 the dealer quoted!”

Keith

Alan repaired scrapes to my Freelander, and I have no hesitation in recommending his services. It was efficient, hassle free and reasonably priced. A job well done.”
