You may be looking for Wheel Crack Repairs Shrewsbury because you’ve gone over a pot-hole and it’s cracked the lip on the inside of your alloy wheel. This is very common, particularly on larger wheels with low profile tyres!
It might be that you’ve not even spotted the cracked alloy wheel until it’s been checked during an MOT inspection & it’s failed the MOT!
No matter how or when it was caused, we can offer wheel crack repairs to weld the crack or split in the alloy, restoring it’s strength & making it safe & legal again.
First the Buckle is heated to around the 250°C mark then pressure is applied from various directions, using a high pressure hydraulic jack and a number of different attachments.
The attachments ensure the metal isn’t warped out of shape and the jack is used alongside the spin function of the machine and a high and low spot indicator to press the buckles out of the wheel.
The structural integrity of your vehicle wheels is fundamental to its safety, so cracked alloy repairs should be carried out as soon as they are discovered.
Depending on where the split in the alloy wheel is, and how severe it is will depend on whether we can carry out an alloy wheel crack repair, whilst ensuring the wheel is strong & safe to use in everyday driving.
But as with all our wheel repairs, we would only carry out a wheel crack repair if we were confident that the result will be safe, and will always err on the side of caution.

The cost to repair a cracked or buckled alloy wheel will depend on many factors.
As the crack is usually caused by impact damage, there may also be a buckle in the same location which will also need repairing.
If the split is on the inside of the wheel, after the repair has been done & the crack is welded, as it’s in an area which is not seen, it may not need fully refinishing.
On the other hand, if the crack is on the front face, then after the alloy welding is done, the wheel will need to be refurbished or re-painted to make the repair invisible.
Because of all of these potential circumstances, the cost to repair the wheel can vary widely, so it’s best to contact us directly & we can assess what’s required to carry out the repair, but in 99% of cases, it will be a far lower cost than that of a genuine replacement wheel.
As mentioned previously, any repair to an alloy wheel might require a full refurbishment, the same process is carried out for all repairs as follows;
