What is alloy wheel refurbishment?
Over time, the alloy wheels on your MINI will almost inevitably suffer damage such as scratches, scuffs, dents, and marks. Alloy wheel refurbishment is the process of repairing, cleaning, and restoring wheels to a like-new state.
Whether you’ve accidentally kerbed a wheel or are simply seeing the effects of wear and tear, almost everyone has encountered imperfections when it comes to the wheels on their vehicle. Rather than investing in new alloy wheels, a more convenient and cost-effective solution is MINI wheel restoration. Following a quick and convenient trip to one of our South West-based sites, your wheels will look as good as new.

Can Cracked Alloy Wheels Be Repaired?
Cracked alloy wheels are likely the result of more serious damage caused by colliding with a kerb or hitting a pothole. It’s essential that such damage is assessed by skilled technicians like those here at Dick Lovett MINI, where we can determine if the wheel can be repaired or not.
If it is safe to do so, and the structural integrity of the wheel remains intact, it is possible for our technicians to repair cracked wheels. If you have spotted such damage on your MINI, we highly recommend contacting us as soon as possible and minimising miles travelled with the vehicle during this period. Upon receiving your vehicle, we will be able to inspect the cracked alloy wheel, evaluate any damage, and explore options to get it fixed.

Determining whether an alloy wheel can be refurbished more than once comes down to circumstance. The condition and strength of the wheel will be studied closely by our experienced technicians before a decision is made regarding the possibility of a repair or whether a replacement is required.
All work completed by us will be logged as part of your vehicle’s service history, helping to inform any future restoration and repair works should they be required.

How Are Diamond Cut Alloy Wheels Refurbished?
Using a specialist wheel lathe, a thin layer on the face of the wheel is removed and re-cut with high precision, correcting any damage or blemishes. Lacquer is then reapplied to restore the wheel to its original condition and protect it from wear and tear.
