What Affects the Cost of Alloy Wheel Repair?
1. Severity of Damage
Light surface scuffs take less time and product to fix than deep kerb gouges. The worse the damage, the more preparation, filling, and refinishing is required — which affects the price.
2. Wheel Size
Larger wheels (18 inch and above) have more surface area to sand, prime, and paint. SUVs and prestige vehicles typically cost more per wheel than smaller passenger cars.
3. Mobile vs Workshop
A mobile repair service comes to you — saving you the time and cost of dropping your car off. Mobile alloy wheel repair in Melbourne is priced competitively with workshops while offering the added convenience of coming to your location.
4. Number of Wheels
Repairing multiple wheels at once is more efficient. If you have two or more wheels with damage, ask about pricing for multiple wheels in a single visit.
5. Colour Matching
Standard silver and gunmetal finishes are straightforward to match. Custom colours, two-tone finishes, or diamond-cut wheels may require specialist equipment and additional cost.
Is Alloy Wheel Repair Worth It in Melbourne?
Yes — in most cases, repair is significantly cheaper than replacement. A new alloy wheel in Melbourne can cost anywhere from $300 to $800 or more per wheel depending on the brand and size.
Professional repair restores the wheel to near-original condition, protects against corrosion, and maintains your car’s resale value — all for a fraction of the cost of replacement.
When to Repair vs Replace
- Repair: Gutter rash, surface scuffs, minor kerb damage, light scratches
- Replace: Cracked or structurally damaged wheels, severe bends, or damage that affects the tyre seal
How Long Does Mobile Alloy Wheel Repair Take?
A single wheel repair typically takes 1 to 2 hours on-site. Most repairs on multiple wheels can be completed in a single visit, so you’re not left without your car for days.
Magic Hand Carwash technicians come to your home or workplace across Melbourne, complete the repair on-site, and leave your wheels looking like the damage never happened.
What Types of Damage Can Be Repaired?
✅ Gutter rash and kerb damage
