Alloy wheel refurbishment in Ashingdon

Ashingdon and Canewdon customers reach us in about twenty minutes through Rochford. It is rural driving out here — narrow lanes, soft verges, and a lot of agricultural traffic that leaves the edges broken up. Buckled and cracked rims are disproportionately common from this direction, and both are repairable far more often than people expect. We pressure-test every welded wheel before it goes back on a car.

We are not a mobile service — Ashingdon customers come to us. Everything is done at our Wickford unit (Unit 40, Andersons Industrial Estate, SS12 9EJ). We do not offer collection or mobile visits, so you make your own way here — about 20 minutes and 10 miles from Ashingdon. Drop the car in, or bring the wheels loose.

The run from Ashingdon

Through Rochford and Hockley on the B1013, then the A129 into Wickford. Twenty minutes or so.

There is no travel charge and no premium for coming from outside Wickford — the price is the price. If 10 miles is an awkward round trip to do twice, bring the wheels loose instead: four in the back of an estate or a van works perfectly well, and plenty of our Ashingdon customers do exactly that.

The lane down to Canewdon and the run along Ashingdon Road are both edged rather than kerbed, and the drop at the verge is severe in places. That is a buckle waiting to happen, not a scuff.

What we do for Ashingdon cars

Everything happens at Unit 40 — nothing is sent away and nothing is subcontracted. That matters most for the two jobs a mobile repairer genuinely cannot do: diamond cutting, which needs a CNC lathe, and crack welding, which needs a TIG set and a pressure test.

Full refurbishment — chemically stripped to bare metal, repaired, powder coated and oven-cured. From £75 a wheel.
Diamond cutting — on our own lathe, with a corrosion-inhibiting lacquer. The fix for wheels that have gone cloudy or milky.
Crack repair — veed out, TIG welded, machined back and pressure-tested. A cracked wheel is an MOT failure.
Buckle straightening — runout measured, not guessed. This is what that vibration at 60 usually is.
Caliper painting — calipers off the car, stripped and coated properly. The obvious moment to do it is while the wheels are already off.
Locking nut removal — no key needed. From £20 per wheel.

We also run the tuning side out of the same unit — Stage 1 remapping written for your exact engine, plus proper DPF and AdBlue diagnosis. Check what your car should make.
