Alloy wheel refurbishment in Stock

Stock is a twenty-minute run down the B1007 and one of the nicer drives to our door. It is a village of narrow lanes and expensive cars, which is exactly the combination that fills our repair bay: verge-drop buckles and cracked rims on low-profile tyres. Both are fixable. We straighten on a dedicated machine and weld properly rather than filling, and every welded wheel gets pressure-tested before it leaves.

We are not a mobile service — Stock 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 19 minutes and 9 miles from Stock. Drop the car in, or bring the wheels loose.

The run from Stock

B1007 south through Billericay, then the A129 into Wickford. About nineteen minutes on the lanes.

There is no travel charge and no premium for coming from outside Wickford — the price is the price. If 9 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 Stock customers do exactly that.

The B1007 between Stock and Billericay is narrow with a pronounced camber and broken edges. Meeting a tractor means putting a wheel off the tarmac, and that step is where the damage happens.

What we do for Stock 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.

Questions from Stock

Do you cover Stock?

Yes. Stock is about 9 miles from our Wickford workshop — roughly 19 minutes. B1007 south through Billericay, then the A129 into Wickford. About nineteen minutes on the lanes.

How far is Wheel Masters from Stock?

9 miles, around 19 minutes on a normal run. B1007 south through Billericay, then the A129 into Wickford. About nineteen minutes on the lanes. We are at Unit 40, Andersons Industrial Estate, Lower Park Road, Wickford, SS12 9EJ.

Can I drop the wheels off without the car?

Yes, and from Stock a lot of customers do exactly that — four wheels in the back of an estate saves you doing the drive twice. Just make sure the locking wheel nut key comes with them if you have one.

How much does it cost from Stock?

The same as anywhere — from £75 per wheel, with no travel charge. Price moves with wheel size, finish choice and whatever turns up once the old coating is off. We call you before anything changes the number.
