Save money with Alloy wheel refurbishment

Alloy wheels can quickly become corroded, curbed, scratched, bent and buckled through typical driving conditions and scenarios, which can often turn out to be expensive to remedy if you are not savvy enough to understand the financial benefits of using independent Alloy Wheel Refurbishment services.

When it comes to the issue of wheels on a car, the very question of damaged wheels invokes highly emotive feelings of protection from car owners which can typically be explained by their prominence and outwardly public appearance which some may argue reflects the financial and aesthetic worth of a vehicle. The general public is aware is aware that the current financial climate can often place restrictions on the type of services we are able to source and whilst replacing damaged alloy wheels can be an easy solution in terms of practicality, which most car dealerships will often gladly offer to customers, it can often, if not always be the most expensive option to undertake especially if you are replacing high quality performance aluminium wheels manufactured by companies such as AC Schnitzer, Brabus, Wolfrace, Dezent, ROTA, BBS or many of the other ambassadors of alloy wheel manufacturing.

Car owners can make time, cost and convenience savings by using independent alloy wheel refurbishment companies, where they can professionally refurbish alloy wheels at your home, office or at a workshop with a fast turnaround time.

With prices typically starting at around £45 per wheel it makes it a really good proposition balanced against the potential cost of hundreds of pounds to replace damaged wheels. all at a fraction of the price.

Car lover? Car dent? Read on…

Has time taken it’s toll on your vehicle? 

Is the bodywork beginning to look a little worse for wear? Are you sick and tired of looking at your car dents everyday? In that case maybe it is time to consider visiting your local car body repair shop for some car dent repair.  There are two main methods to repairing car dents, either totally removing the dents or by hiding them with the clever use of paint. Either method will make your car look as good as new.

Car repair shops help their customers  in repairing dents. They work out the kind of repair that your car needs. If there are slight dents,  it does not really need major repair.  If the car dent cannot be repaired because it is too large they can either remove the whole panel or that section of the car before attaching a newer portion, followed by painting.

At Scuffs N Scratches the customer is consulted at every stage of the process, with each option discussed before coming to an agreement as to the type of work to be carried out.  Whatever you decide, our friendly technicians will see to it that he achieves what you want. While waiting for the process to be completed, you can confidently sit around and relax or even better, go into Liverpool & shop (5 mins).

Repair the car or spend the cash?

This post is by Joe Woodhouse – Director Scuffs ‘N’ Scratches Ltd

Over the past few months, I’ve been seeing cars in various states of disrepair. Big dents, dings, damaged windows and doors, bumpers scraping along the ground, you name it.

And it got me wondering: Are people choosing to take the insurance money and spend it on something other than the car repair?

Now, obviously, some of these cars were just old and in need of some major TLC. But in the company car park alone I’ve seen several cars that are from 2007 or after and have big bad dents and other major body damage.

Clearly, these cars were involved in some kind of accident. Be it with another car, a lamppost, a wall, or an angry Transformer, something went wrong.

Knowing that most good citizens have car insurance coverage, I also know that these people would have received some kind of payment to have the car fixed whether it was their fault or not.

I got sideswiped a few years ago, and the car sustained £1,500 worth of damage. I was given two options:

• Choosing a recommended car repair shop to deal directly with my car insurance company, and I would pay the  excess.
• I could get a cheque based on the price the adjuster believed it would cost to have the vehicle repaired, minus the excess

At the time, I chose the first option. I needed the car fixed immediately. I wasn’t ready to start calling around for competitive bids, and I also knew that the place chosen by my auto insurance company would be held accountable by them if the repair was not done well.

But I wonder: How many say, “I can live with the dent; I’d much rather have the cash”?

It makes all kinds of sense to me. Some people don’t care about the resale value of the car or how it looks. It’s a mode of transport that gets them from home to work, shopping, or the ballgame. It’s no big deal if it’s not perfect, and a few thousand dollars is way more important than removing a dent from the door or fixing a cracked bumper.

After that thought, I noticed damaged cars everywhere. I counted 23 in the car park at my local supermarket last week, and it was not a busy shopping day. True, some may have been very recently damaged and awaiting repair, but I saw a couple of major dents that had been very poorly spray-painted and a bumper that had been freshly covered with stickers.

Clearly, these were not people who took the insurance money for the car repair. They probably kept the cash.

Is it legal?

I did some digging on several car repair sites, forums, insurance blogs, and so on. It seems that many people do, in fact, opt to cash the cheque and leave their vehicle in a state of disrepair. But this does have some ramifications.

First, if you don’t own the car outright (and that’s a large majority of us), then the bank (or finance company) is the real owner, and the money for the repair is to keep the car in good condition until the loan has been paid off. They want the car to be repaired, and they have every right to see that you make good on it.

What’s more, if the cheque is made out to both you and the bank/finance company, and you cash it, you could be liable for fraud charges.

If you own the car outright, it’s much easier to decide to take the cash and spend it on bills, a new TV, or anything else. I have read several stories on Auto Repair Service Guide of people who did just that.

Now, over to you

If you get in an accident and your car sustains cosmetic damage, do you get it repaired, or do you take the money and run? In these tough economic times, I can certainly see why many people would go for the latter option.

Popular alloy wheels

Alloy wheels have been manufactured for almost all brands of cars. They are used to improve performance and give a stylish look to your car. It is very easy to clean and maintain them as there are a lot of cleaners available in the market. There are many third party companies that manufacture a wide variety of alloy wheels.

Before buying alloy wheels for your car, you need to do some research online and find a set of wheels that perfectly suits your car. You need to know your car make, model and style. They are available in different sizes like 15″, 16″, 17″ and 18″ etc. They are made up of aluminum or magnesium metals or by the combination of both. Most of the products you will find will be aluminum as the magnesium rims are much more expensive.

Aluminum is a light weight metal and alloy wheels provide the best performance and appearance to the car owners. Great care is required to get the optimized performance from alloy wheels. You need to regularly wash your car and use a good cleaner to give your car a stylish and bright look. The wheels can be restored to their original beauty using a good wheel cleaner.

Some of the most common alloy wheel manufacturers include BBS, Volk, Zigen and Konig. Many sites on the internet offer the new, used and refurbished alloy wheels.

The most popular wheels made and provided by some of the larger automakers are from BMW, Ford, Toyota Hilux, VW, and Genuine Mitsubishi VR4 Alloy Wheels with Yokohama tyre. They are available in a variety of different sizes and shapes.

Some of the best alloy wheel cleaners include Wynn’s Fast Action Wheel Cleaner, Decosol Wheel Cleaner, Turtle Wax Platinum Wheel Cleaner, Gunk Smart Wheels, Mer Alloy & Steel Wheel Cleaner, CarPlan Wheel Slik, Turtle Wax Extreme Nano-Tech Cleaner and Simoniz Alloy Wheel Cleaner.

In some cases the cleaners are not enough to make your wheels look good. If yours are damaged rather than just dirty then you may need to have a refurb. Avoid using products with chemicals that can deteriorate the finish and shine of your wheels.

There is a common misconception that repairing damaged wheels is impossible, but they can actually be repaired with some care and effort. Many professional wheel repair companies can do this job efficiently and you just need to find that company. The internet is the best place to start your search to find a good alloy wheel repair company.
