How your Polo wheels are repaired at Crown Road

Shmee150 has filmed a video review of his wheels with us, and a Polo goes through the same steps.

Strip.

The old finish comes off and the wheel is taken back to bare metal.

Repair.

Kerb damage is filled, bends are straightened and cracks are welded where it is safe to do so.

Refinish.

Powder coat is cured at 180°C, or paint is matched to the existing finish. A diamond cut face is re-cut on the lathe and lacquered.

Check.

Wheels are inspected before you collect. Refurbishment takes 36 to 48 hours and diamond cut repair takes 2 working days.

Shmee150 Testimonial For Whoops Wheel Fix It

Diamond cut faces explained

A diamond cut face is machined on a lathe, which leaves bright bare metal under a layer of clear lacquer. If your Polo has diamond cut wheels, the lacquer is the only protection that face has. Once it chips or lifts, water gets underneath and the shine turns cloudy or white-spotted. Our CNC lathe takes a fresh cut across the face and new lacquer seals it, which takes 2 working days. A daylight photo of the face shows us whether it needs re-cutting.

Paint damage and cost

Scrapes and chips are colour-matched from the paint code. If a bigger area of paint is damaged, photos let us say what the repair involves. Our paint repair cost guide explains how pricing works.

Kerb marks

Gouged rim edges are reshaped and matched. Minor kerb damage may suit our mobile service, so send your postcode and we'll confirm. See Volkswagen kerb rash repair.

Questions about the work on your Polo

Does my Polo leave the workshop for any part of the repair?

No. Stripping, the CNC lathe, the powder coating oven, welding and painting are all at Crown Road, so one team answers for the whole job.

What does the lathe do to a diamond cut Polo wheel?

It cuts the face afresh to bring back the bright metal, and the face is then lacquered. Send a photo and we'll confirm whether your wheel needs it.

Can you straighten a Polo wheel bent by a pothole?

Yes, bends are straightened in-house and cracks are welded. Send a photo and we'll tell you whether the wheel is safe to repair before you book.
