Alloy wheel refurbishment in Longfield
Longfield is roughly forty-five minutes away over the crossing. It is a quieter DA3 postcode with lanes rather than dual carriageways at its edges, and the wheel damage follows — verge drops and buckles rather than car-park scuffs. Plenty of Longfield customers drop wheels loose rather than bring the car twice, which is an easy way to save a trip.

The run from Longfield
A2 to the Dartford Crossing, then A13 east to the A130 and north. Around forty-five minutes.
There is no travel charge and no premium for coming from outside Wickford — the price is the price. If 29 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 Longfield customers do exactly that.
What we do for Longfield 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.
