Alloy Wheel Repair, Dublin area

kirving

Buckled an alloy of mine, so need to either repair or replace.

Anywhere within say half an hour of Dublin, Athlone, Limerick or Galway with a good reputation for doing such repairs? Seen a couple of methods on Youtube, and some seem far more advanced than others, using special machinery, and some using a hammer and a torch.

Any idea on the cost of a repair?

Been offered a set (unknown condition with unknown tyres) for €300, but would prefer to repair mine, or buy a single if possible. Can try and post a photo later if it helps.

It's a Volvo S40, with 17" Spartacus Alloys if that helps.

Thanks,
Kev

Try auto-depot on Walkinstown Avenue, if it can be repaired they will take it on. If it needs repair and refinishing, then I would try Wheel Wizards in Finglas - their work is exceptional.

Got mine refurbed at WheelWizards in Finglas a month ago.

Excellent job, wheels like new again.

They quote 68 euro on their website for straightening alone and 90euro +VAT for refurb alone.

Lots of folks on here and other forums recommend them.

Place across from croke park. Can't remember name. They have a jig for fixing buckles. Charged me 50 quid. That was few years ago mind. No issues with them.
