When you’re selling your car, you want the best price. One smart move is getting your alloys refurbished before you sell. The answer is simple: yes, it’s almost always worth doing.

 

Why First Looks Count

Your wheels are one of the first things buyers see. Scratched or damaged alloys immediately put buyers off. They start thinking: if the wheels look bad, what else is wrong?

When buyers see damage to alloy wheels, they worry about how you’ve looked after the rest of the car. This doubt makes them offer less money or look elsewhere.

Clean, refurbished wheels tell a different story. They show you care about your car. This makes buyers confident, which means better offers and quicker sales.

 

The Money Makes Sense

Professional alloy wheel refurbishment costs £50-£120 per wheel. That sounds like a lot, but it usually pays for itself.

Cars with good wheels often sell for more money than similar cars with damaged ones. The extra money you get often covers what you spent – sometimes more.

Better-looking cars sell faster too. This saves you insurance costs and MOT fees whilst you’re trying to sell. New wheels can cost hundreds or thousands. Refurbishing alloy wheels gives you nearly the same look for much less.

 

What We Do

At Alloy Fix, our highly skilled team uses different methods depending on the wheel repair needed. Small scratches need different treatment than deep damage or bent wheels.

Powder Coating: This is how wheels are made originally. We put on special powder, then heat it to make a tough surface. It fights chips and scratches much better than normal paint. We’re so sure about this high quality work that we give a 3-year promise.

Diamond Cut Alloy: This makes wheels really shiny using precise machines. You see this finish on expensive cars. It comes with our 3-year promise too.

The whole job takes 3-5 days, depending on how bad the damage is.

 

Safety and Going Green

Wheel repair isn’t just about looks. Damaged wheels can be dangerous. Cracks can cause tyre problems. Bent wheels make your car shake and harder to control.

Fixing wheels also uses much less energy than making new ones. It’s better for the planet and your money.

 

What Buyers Think

Car buyers use wheel condition to judge how well you’ve looked after your car. They make quick decisions, and wheels play a big part.

The RAC confirms that well-kept alloys help you get higher prices. When buyers see perfect wheels, they get the impression that the whole car has received good care.

In busy markets with lots of similar cars, small things matter. Great wheels make your car stand out and stick in buyers’ minds.
