Diamond Alloys repair and refurbish damaged alloys

“Only 4,000 miles on the clock and one careful owner”. This kind of phrase is liable to send a shiver up many a potential car buyer’s spine. When you buy a second hand car, particularly from a car auction, you have to accept that it could come with some flaws, no matter how carefully you look. Sometimes, obvious cosmetic defects will allow you to grab an absolute bargain – mainly because the owners don’t realise how quick, cheap and easy they are to fix.

Take alloys, for example. Whether the car has one, two or indeed an entire set of alloys that are dented, scuffed or scratched, it can make a car look tired and significantly reduce the sale value. The cost of replacing the alloys may have been off-putting for the previous owner, but you don’t have to make the same mistake. Diamond Alloys can repair and refurbish damaged alloys, allowing you to make a significant cost saving and get your second hand car looking as if it’s just rolled out of the dealership.

One of the services we offer is Diamond Cutting, which uses precision tools to remove only what is necessary from the rims. The process starts with a specialist pressure wash, which removes all dirt and allows us to better survey the condition of the wheel. After this, we cut the wheel to remove all the damage, leaving a smooth finish that shines. Finally, our technicians coat the rim with scratch proof lacquer and bake the alloy to seal the coating. When the alloys are refitted, we balance the tyre and restore it to the correct pressure, allowing you to drive away with peace of mind that your wheels are in the best possible condition.

Diamond Alloys have a service for almost every alloy damage: even if your alloy is buckled, for example, we have specialist hydraulic techniques that will straighten them out to their original shape.

Call our experts today to find out how our alloy repair service can make your second hand car look as good as new.

Diamond Alloys offer a top-quality repair and refurbishment service

Alloys can be both a blessing and a curse. When your alloys are immaculate, there’s no greater feeling than walking to your car and seeing them shine. If you’re unlucky enough to have a dent, scuff or scratch on them, however, it can ruin your vehicle’s appearance and be a niggling concern that ruins your enjoyment of the car.

Fortunately, Diamond Alloys offer a top-quality repair and refurbishment service that will get your alloys looking brand new for a fraction of the cost.

Our expert technicians use state-of-the art machinery that allows them to employ techniques like diamond cutting, which can be carried out on alloys up to 22” in size.

Mini gets Fab Split Rim makeover at Diamond Alloys!

Joe from Wimbledon brought his mini alloy wheels into our workshop in very poor condition. Two of the wheels had buckles and all of these wheels were showing extensive corrosion and wear and tear.

Both of these problems can easily be fixed at Diamond Alloys, saving Joe from having to buy new and facing a huge price tag! To fix the corrosion, our guys placed the alloys into our acid bath, which eats away the corrosive damage the wheels have sustained. The wheels are then cleaned and prepped.

6Buckles are a common problem on alloy wheels, usually sustained by driving over potholes and can cause your tyres to loose air and potentially fail an MOT. However, a straightening repair is easy and managed in house at Diamond Alloys ensuring costs and repair times are both kept to a minimum.

Once all damages have been repaired then fun can start! We can repair and refurbish both split rims and cosmetic split rims to produce a look which is unrecognisable compared to when they arrive. Check out the before and after pictures and you will see how the repair and standard painted finish with a Diamond Cut lip brought these 17” mini alloys back to life. The customer requested that he did not wish us to put the caps back on.

The finished result was amazing and our happy customer said I had very badly corroded split rim multi-spoked alloys on my Mini. Diamond Alloys, and in particular John, were very helpful in talking me through what was involved and assessing what they could do, along with presenting options for me to consider based on my budget.  I was looking for a very high quality finish and came away very happy with the end results.  The wheels looked as good as new with a beautiful finish and the assurance of a one year guarantee on the work.  I would highly recommend them.” Joe from Wimbledon.

Happy Customer at Diamond Alloys

diamond-alloys-feedback-jbCustomer Jay Bansi was so happy with the results of his refurbishment he happily posed for a picture with his completed wheels back on his BMW.

Take a close look at the wheels when they arrived to our London refurbishment centre and you will see they are very badly corroded. In this condition alloy wheels look unattractive and beyond repair, but in fact it is pretty simple for Diamond Alloys to bring corroded alloy wheels back to life.

Out skilled technicians strip back the alloy wheels to ensure all of the corrosion is removed. They are cleaned and prepped before being powder coated (for an even finish) painted before having the face Diamond Cut and their final protective layer of lacquer is added. A Diamond Cut finish really looks spectacular, especially on a alloy wheel design as detailed as this. With dark grey or black inserts the design really pops, so we are not surprised Jay was so happy!
