Mind that Pothole!!

Potholes aren’t your fault. Yet, unfortunately, if you hit one you still have to take responsibility for repairing the damage. If you’d rather not fork out for busted tyres or car parts, then heed our handy guide for minimising your chances of pothole pain.

Watch your speed
Yes, you want to get to your destination in good time, but the main way to avoid potholes is simply to see them and have enough time to react – aka drive at a sensible speed. Remember that, if it’s raining, potholes may be hidden underneath puddles, so be extra vigilant in bad weather.

Check your tyre pressure
Regularly checking your tyre pressure ensures you notice any pothole damage immediately, not to mention stand the best chance of riding over a pothole smoothly.

Stay alert
Alertness is key – if you creep too close to the car in front of you, you won’t be able to spot the potholes. You also need to be on the watch for pedestrians and traffic that might impede your ability to swerve should you encounter a pothole.

Don’t brake
If you brake when driving over a pothole you tilt the car forward, putting more stress on your front suspension

Assume the position
Hold the steering wheel correctly to ensure you don’t lose control of your vehicle.

Stay safe
If you think something has been damaged on your car, or something has detached, then don’t pull over immediately. Instead, ensure you stop in a safe place and take proper precautions when inspecting the car or retrieving lost property.

Seek expert help
If you do think you have sustained pothole damage, get the car checked out as soon as you can. You’ll particularly need to look at wheel alignment and tyres, so make sure you go to an expert.

If you already have damage like this, don’t worry, Diamond Alloys can fix dents and even missing chunks of alloy. Just give us a call on 0845 370 8881 and we’ll quote you direct!

Triumph Stag Wheels get a Dazzling Diamond Cut Refurbishment

Leave a reply

At Diamond Alloys we deal with both consumer and trade alloy wheel repairs.

This week a trade customer approached us with a request to refurbish some 14 inch Triumph Stag wheels.

These rims were in a sad state of repair with extensive corrosion around the face which is caused when water; especially salt water, is allowed to seep underneath the protective lacquer layer. This can happen if the lacquer is compromised by hitting a kerb or from stone chips. If left untreated the corrosion will cotinine to eat away at the metal.

The alloys were placed in our acid bath which removes the corrosion before they are prepped by hand and powder coated to give our painters a smooth base before applying the gloss black paint. A diamond cut reveals the beautiful patter of these Stag wheels before a lacquer is added for protection for the elements.

If your rims need a makeover then give Diamond Alloys a call on 0845 370 8881 or email us here and we will be happy to assist with a suitable repair service. We offer consumers a discount if all 4 wheels are refurbished at the same time and have trade prices available for bodyshop and repair centres.
