Wheel Repairs

At D. Gawthrope ACR Ltd, we know that wheels are more than just functional – they’re part of your vehicle’s appearance, performance and safety. That’s why we are proud to offer a professional wheel repair service, utilising industry-leading equipment and techniques to restore your alloy wheels to their original precision and finish.

Why Choose Professional Wheel Repairs?

Over time, wheels may suffer from kerb rash, scuffs, corrosion, dents, scratches or warping. Driving on damaged wheels can jeopardise tyre life, balance, and even the handling or ride quality of your vehicle. Rather than replacing a wheel, a high quality repair can often deliver the same aesthetic and performance result at a fraction of the cost — with the added benefit of preserving original manufacturer specification.

Lenco Diamond Cutting Our Premium Solution

When it comes to finishing alloy wheels, the method you choose matters. We are proud to be a Lenco Approved Agent, running the Lenco diamond cutting wheel machine to produce flawless precision finishes. This advanced machine uses a diamond-tipped cutter to mill off fine layers from the wheel surface, restoring straightness, removing curb damage, and leaving a high quality, consistent finish that complements the original design. As a Lenco Approved Agent, we adhere to strict standards of workmanship, ensuring every wheel meets the high expectations set by the brand.

Our Wheel Repair Process

Inspection & Assessment

First, our technicians inspect the wheel for structural damage (e.g. bends, cracks) and determine whether it’s safe to repair. If it’s beyond repair (e.g. cracked through), we’ll advise on replacement options.

Cleaning & Preparation

We strip off old coatings, corrosion, and dirt—cleaning each wheel to bare alloy. This prepares it for accurate cutting and refinishing.

Straightening & Reprofiling

If the wheel is warped or bent, we use specialist straightening tools and verify alignment tolerances before proceeding.

Diamond Cutting / Machining

Using the Lenco diamond cutting machine, we carefully mill the surface to remove damage and return the profile to OEM shape. Our technicians calibrate the machine precisely to match manufacturer wheel contours.

Refinishing & Protection

Once the face surface is restored, we apply appropriate protective treatments—powder coat, lacquer, clearcoat, or colour finishes as required—to protect the alloy from corrosion, stone chips and weathering.

Balancing & Final Quality Check

After refinishing, we balance the wheel precisely and inspect it under strict quality controls to ensure it meets our standards (runout, finish consistency, visual aesthetics).
