Assess Damage

Stage 1

Assess Damage

Upon arrival, and if fitted, tyres, weights & valves are carefully removed.

Tyres & wheels are individually quality assessed for damage, after all, we cannot put back what isn’t there, but we will communicate and work with you to agree the best solution if necessary!

Stage 2

Old coatings and any white rust or oxidisation is chemically removed. Hot chemical cleaning, drying, alloy dressing & meticulous surface preparation is conducted, prior to a final visual quality inspection.
