Alloy wheel refurbishment in Epping

Epping is at the far side of our Essex patch, roughly forty minutes away. It is a trip worth making for the jobs mobile repairers cannot touch — diamond cutting, proper crack welding and buckle straightening. Plenty of CM16 customers drop wheels loose and collect them later in the week rather than sit and wait, which works perfectly well for a full set.

We are not a mobile service — Epping 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 40 minutes and 23 miles from Epping. Drop the car in, or bring the wheels loose.

The run from Epping

M11 or A414 across to the A12/A127, then east to the A132 into Wickford. Around forty minutes.

There is no travel charge and no premium for coming from outside Wickford — the price is the price. If 23 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 Epping customers do exactly that.

The forest roads around Epping are narrow, unlit and edged with a hard drop where the tarmac ends. It is buckle country rather than scuff country.

What we do for Epping 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.
