Buckled & pothole-damaged wheel repair
Hit a pothole and felt it through the steering? A vibration that wasn't there before often means a buckled rim. Send us a photo and we'll tell you whether it can be straightened.

How we straighten buckled alloys
Measure the buckle We measure how far the rim is out of round and where the bend sits.

Check for cracks
A buckle can hide a crack. If we find one, we weld it before straightening. See cracked alloy wheel repair.
Straighten
The wheel goes onto our straightening equipment, and the rim is worked back to true under controlled pressure, with measurements checked throughout.
Refinish
Straightening can mark the finish, so we refinish the affected area afterwards.
Why choose us for buckled wheels
WhatsApp a photo to +44 7512 308716 and we'll come back within 24 hours.
Straightening and welding in-house
Straightening, welding and refinishing all happen at our Crown Road workshop, with one team looking after your wheel throughout.
Safety comes first
If we aren't confident a straightened wheel will be safe, we'll recommend replacing it.
A fraction of the cost of a new wheel
Replacement OEM alloys can be expensive, especially on prestige cars. Straightening costs far less, and you keep a wheel whose history you know.
