Signs your wheels need kerb rash repair

Scuff along the rim edge A rough grey or silver band on the outer lip shows where the lacquer has been rubbed away.
Deep gouge you can feel When a finger dips into the mark, metal has been lost and the edge needs rebuilding.
Bare metal showing Exposed alloy has nothing left to protect it, so it starts to dull and corrode once it gets wet.

What kerb rash does if it's left

A scrape that breaks the lacquer lets rainwater and road salt reach the alloy underneath. Corrosion then works its way under the surrounding finish, and the area that needs stripping grows month by month. Light marks may suit a mobile repair, though deeper gouges need the workshop and mobile work may not last as long as an oven-finished refurbishment, so send your postcode and we'll confirm.

Choose a day to bring

Choose a day to bring the car to Crown Road, where most kerb rash repairs are finished in 36 to 48 hours.

Most kerb rash happens in the last few feet of parking, when the wheel drifts closer than you expected. Pulling up a little wider gives the tyre a chance to meet the kerb before the rim does. Parking sensors and a rear camera help if the car has them, and angling the passenger mirror to show the kerb works on almost anything. Make a habit of looking over the rims each time you wash the car. A fresh scuff caught at that stage is the quickest kind of kerb rash repair to put right, since water hasn't yet had a chance to creep under the lacquer.

Before you send the photo

Is it safe to keep using a kerbed wheel?

A surface scuff is cosmetic, and the car is fine to use. Vibration, pulling to one side or a visible bend in the rim mean the wheel should be checked before you carry on, and your photo helps us see which you have.

What should the photo show?

Take one shot of the rim edge close up and one of the whole face, in daylight if you can. Including your reg or make and model helps us send a price that holds once we see the wheel.

Can a photo show what the job involves?

In most cases we can. The picture shows how deep the gouge runs and whether the rim may need straightening or welding, and the reply sets out the price and the work.
