Alloy Wheel Straightening
Alloy wheels can get damaged in a variety of ways, they can get hit by a curb,
bent on a pothole. If you are experiencing vibrations or shaking from your
steering wheel or excessive tyre wear, or tyres which do not seem to be lasting
very long after purchase, then it is likely that your alloy wheel is suffering
from some damage.
First Aid Wheels can repair bent alloy wheels in a few hours or next day service
at the worst (for badly buckled alloys).
95% of wheels are straightened while a customer waits.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I tell if my alloy wheel is buckled?
You may find that you suddenly feel vibrations whilst driving. Uneven tyre wear may also be a sign that your wheel(s) have a buckle. Your tyre fitter may advise that you need a wheel straightened before they can put on new tyres.
Do I need to buy a replacement wheel if my alloy is buckled?
No, you can simply allow us to straighten your wheel at a fraction of the cost of a new wheel.
Will the strength of the wheel be affected by repair?
No, not noticeably. However, our roads are particularly poor and further damage can occur because of this, so try to avoid driving over potholes if possible — if not, drive over them slowly and with caution.
How much does it cost to have the wheel straightened?
Prices vary depending on how wheels are delivered to us.
