At Diamond Alloys, we always invest heavily into buying the best machinery, so we can offer our clients the best possible service and finish from start to finish in as speedy a turnaround time as possible.

Take our tyre changer machines for example, which are used by our professionally trained tyre fitters and used to re-fit all tyres to newly repaired and refurbished alloy wheels. By using the latest tyre and alloy wheel fitting and balancing machines we are able to provide our clients with a first class and speedy alloy wheel refurbishment. Pictured here is one of our trained technicians loading and fitting in our West London alloy wheel refurbishment centre.

The machine we use can accommodate alloy wheels up to 28” in diameter, so at Diamond Alloys we are well equipped to handle really big wheels like these.

You can drop off your allow wheels for repair or refurbishment at our Heathrow branch which is located on the A30 Staines-Upon-Thames.

Diamond Alloys was founded on a philosophy of offering the best service and finest finish, and to ensure this is delivered daily, new techniques and the most advanced technologies are employed. With this in mind, Diamond Alloys uses a powder coat facility to offer customers an even faster turnaround.The delivery of the very latest Powder Coat and Spray Booth technology ensures customers cars are only off the road for the shortest period of time, something which we recognise as is extremely important to both our trade and consumer clients. The efficient slim line oven offers increased capacity and quick delivery times whilst at the same time achieving a reduction in energy costs.

Why us a Powder Coat system?
Diamond Alloys uses a powder coat system because we believe it offers the best finish. Powder Coat technology is slowly replacing conventional wet paint processes and provides a harder more durable finish when compared to that of a wet paint finish. The coating is typically applied electrostatically and is then cured under heat to allow it to flow and form a “skin”.

Because powder coating does not have a liquid carrier, it can produce thicker coatings than conventional liquid coatings without running or sagging, and powder coating produces minimal appearance differences between horizontally coated surfaces and vertically coated surfaces.

This technology has numerous benefits; however, the key benefit is one of speed. Diamond Alloys values our trade partners business and this investment will provide improved wheel quality and great turn-around times.

With a free collection and delivery service for trade accounts, Diamond Alloys is the only place to have your alloy wheels refurbished in London. And now with a drop off point close the Heathrow, it just got more convenient for consumers too.

Potholes are a serious problem for drivers. Even small pot holes can cause damage to alloy wheels and tyres – and with the cold weather approaching, potholes are only going to increase in number. It’s not just potholes that can be problematic; however, even speedbumps can have the same effect, so be aware and access them with due care.

Both driving over potholes, and speed bumps at speed, can cause dents and cracks to your alloy wheels. This can especially be a problem for cars with large alloys, as these require tyres with lower-profile sidewalls, which are more likely to sustain crack damage due to the fact that there is less surface area and less flexibility to absorb the impact. Even careful drivers can be subject to the odd knock or bump, and so it’s important to regularly check wheels and tyres for signs of damage.

An easy way to check for cracks is to regularly check the tyre pressure. If the air in a tyre goes down faster than usual, this is usually an indicator that a small crack or dent may have developed – even if you can’t see the crack of dent in your alloy wheel with the naked eye. It’s clearly unwise to continue driving on an alloy wheel with a crack or dent, especially because in wet conditions a large amount of water could be seeping in through the crack, getting underneath the alloys protective layer and corroding the alloy underneath.

The good news, however, is that you don’t need to buy new alloys if your alloy wheels sustain a crack or dent. Diamond Alloys have a speedy and high quality welding service that will have your alloy wheels looking as good as new, not to mention performing like they did when you first got them. Our experts examine every inch of your alloys and tyres before repairing, re-fitting and balancing them, giving you a thorough alloy wheel service that usually takes less than 24 hours.

Want to know how our alloy wheel crack repair service works? We start by grinding out both sides of the crack to remove any contamination, and then weld either side to ensure that the repair has maximum strength. Once this is completed, we grind down the weld so it’s flush with the rest of the alloy, ensuring that it doesn’t damage the inside of the tyre. If you’re concerned about aesthetics, we can also refurbish the entire alloy to have it sparkling like new. You’ll never know the alloy wheel had a crack!
