Repair alloy wheels before selling your car
Usually it is worth repairing damaged alloy wheels before you sell, because buyers notice them first and use them to argue the price down. A standard refurbishment takes 36 to 48 hours, so it fits easily before a listing or a viewing.
What buyers notice
Kerb rash, peeling lacquer and corrosion show up in photos and at a viewing. Buyers often read tired wheels as a sign the whole car has been looked after poorly, and they use that to push the price down. It is when the repair cost is small next to the sale price. A photo quote tells you the cost before you commit, so you can decide with the number in front of you. We cannot promise a particular rise in value, but a car with clean wheels sells more easily and draws fewer low offers.
Frequently asked questions
Will repairing my wheels add to the sale price?
It can help the car sell more easily and avoid a lower offer. We cannot promise a figure, because the effect depends on the car, the buyer and the market.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the wheels, the damage and the finish. See the cost guide for what affects the price, or send a photo for a free quote.
Can I get it done quickly?
Most refurbishments take 36 to 48 hours and diamond cut takes 2 working days. Call or send a photo first so we can book a time.
Should I repair all four wheels or just the worst one?
If one wheel is badly damaged, you can fix just that one and we match the finish to the others. Where several look tired, doing all four gives a better first impression.
