Alloy wheel refurbishment in Great Wakering

Great Wakering reaches us through Rochford in about half an hour. It is rural at the edges and residential in the middle, and the wheel damage splits along the same line: verge-drop buckles from the lanes out towards the sea wall, and straightforward kerb rash from the village. We handle both, and if you would rather not drive it twice, wheels off the car are perfectly welcome.

We are not a mobile service — Great Wakering 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 29 minutes and 15 miles from Great Wakering. Drop the car in, or bring the wheels loose.

The run from Great Wakering

Through Rochford and out on the B1013, then the A129 west into Wickford. Just under thirty minutes.

There is no travel charge and no premium for coming from outside Wickford — the price is the price. If 15 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 Great Wakering customers do exactly that.

The lanes out towards Barling and the sea wall are edged with a genuine step where the tarmac has broken away. It bends rims quietly — you feel it as a vibration weeks later.

What we do for Great Wakering 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.
