    Unhappy Alloy Crack Repair

    i had tyres fitted today and a crack was noticed on a alloy. wondered if anyone knew anywhere in the north west (or UK that if they can collect) to repair it?



    i cant get a new wheel as they dont do league 037s any more

    any help?

    just looked because i have a set of wheels that are buckled and it says this on the site

    The wheels are then dressed and filled to deal with any kerb damage to the rim edges. (We do not deal with buckled or badly dented wheels as these are safety related structural repairs and wheels should be written off and replaced).


    ill still ring and ask tho

    Re: Alloy Crack Repair

    It is your lucky day i used to work at paint and trim repairing cracked/corroded/curb damaged alloy wheels.

    I will put some of my wheel pics from work on ere when i get chance.

    I can repair this wheel for you all it needs its ally welding bit of grinding and painting the damaged area so it does not corrode in the future.

    I will Repair the wheel for 55 pounds.

    Soonest i can get it back to you is 3 days as my welder is always busy.

    And your near/live in ellesmere port so local and convieniant.
