Re: Alloy Wheel Repairs

TBH I wouldn't get a buckled alloy straightened - it would be better IMO to get a replacement.

Re: Alloy Wheel Repairs

Most places wont repair buckled alloys anyway, but give Pro Clean a ring on 0151 426 1885, they are based in prescot and they do an excellent job but again I dont think they will touch buckled alloys!

Re: Alloy Wheel Repairs

These guys can repair almost any wheel damage including magnesium cracks, splits, chips, buckles etc I had 2 wheels which where at best eggs and they fixed them so well that they were perfectly balanced before the tyres went on thats how well they fix them.

It was expensive at £60 a wheel (including refurb finish) but then they were 17" AZEV which are £250 a wheel so cheap in comparision.

Yes they will fix it, they repair Magnesium that have cracked, so see no reason why they can't fix "that" alloy.

Aaron.
