Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about DA Techs
Whether you’re a private driver, car dealership, fleet manager, or have any interest in our mobile alloy wheel repair services, below you’ll find the answers to the most common questions we are asked.
From how long repairs take, to what makes our technology so advanced, here’s everything you need to know about how we deliver showroom-quality results on your doorstep.
How long does it take to repair alloy wheels using the mobile workshop?
Most alloy wheel repairs take between 2 to 4 hours, depending on the level of damage and wheel size.
Our technicians aim to complete all work same-day, so your car is back on the road looking its best within hours.
How soon can you start repairs?
We’ll book you in for the soonest available appointment that suits your schedule.
For dealerships, fleets and corporate clients, we also offer regular weekly service slots. This ensures your wheels are always repaired promptly and stock stays ready to go.
How much does it cost to repair alloy wheels?
Our mobile alloy wheel repairs typically start from £100 +VAT per wheel, depending on the size, finish and level of damage.
We’ll always provide a clear quotation before starting any work.
What types of alloy wheels can you repair?
We specialise in both diamond-cut alloys and painted alloys, delivering factory-grade results using our exclusive Micro Lenco CNC lathe.
This is the most advanced mobile system in the UK, capable of handling wheels up to 23 inches, including large SUV and Range Rover wheels.
Whether your alloys are scuffed, scratched, or corroded, we can restore them to showroom standard on-site.
Can you repair my wheels at home or work?
Absolutely. Our mobile wheel repair workshops are fully self-contained, meaning we can repair your alloys at your home, workplace, or dealership.
All we need is safe access to your vehicle and a suitable flat area to set up.
Can you collect and deliver my wheels?
Yes, if your wheels are too severely damaged to repair on-site, we can collect them and send them to our factory workshop for more complex restoration.
However, around 95% of wheels can be repaired on-site, so we’ll virtually always have your car ready to drive within a few hours.
What alloy repair services can you carry out?
Our mobile workshops can complete almost all standard alloy wheel repairs, including:
- Diamond-cut wheel refurbishment using our Micro Lenco CNC lathe.
- Painted alloy repairs using OEM-grade coatings.
- Kerb damage, corrosion and surface defects.
If a wheel is cracked, buckled, or otherwise unsafe, we’ll arrange to take it to our factory workshop for specific repairs.
What’s the benefit of DA Techs’ mobile wheel repair service compared to factory repairs?
Traditional factory refurbishment means sending wheels away for several days. This leads to significant transport costs, admin, inconvenience and vehicle downtime.
DA Techs eliminates that inconvenience. Our mobile wheel repair workshops deliver factory-quality repairs on-site, the same day.
It’s faster, safer, more convenient and significantly more cost-effective.
How many wheels can you repair per day?
On average, each DA Techs van can repair between 10 and 15 wheels per day, depending on wheel size, finish and condition.
Our technicians always work as efficiently as possibly, without ever compromising on safety or quality.
What safety measures do you use?
Safety is built into everything we do. Our vans are fitted with air-fed mask systems, dust extraction units and controlled ventilation to ensure a clean, safe environment for technicians and customers alike.
Every technician is trained to DA Techs’ elite standards and follows strict HR and health and safety procedures, which are monitored from our HQ.
What happens if my wheel can’t be repaired on-site?
If our technician identifies that your wheel is too severely damaged to repair on-site, we’ll arrange for it to be sent to our factory workshop for specialist treatment.
There, our engineers can perform structural repairs, welding, or refinishing to bring the wheel back to OEM standard.
Once complete, we’ll return it to you as quickly as possible.
Do you repair wheels for electric vehicles?
Yes, our technology and repair processes are fully compatible with EVs and hybrid vehicles.
We work with major EV brands and our technicians are trained to safely operate around high-voltage systems.
Are your repairs guaranteed?
Yes, we stand behind every wheel we repair. All DA Techs repairs come with a 12-month warranty, covering the finish and quality of the repair under normal driving conditions.
What areas do you cover?
We operate a growing national network of mobile technicians. Simply enter your postcode on our website to find your local DA Techs technician.
Can you work on leased or company vehicles?
Yes. We regularly work with leaseholders, fleets and company car schemes to repair alloy wheels before end-of-contract inspections. Our fast turnaround helps reduce penalty charges and downtime.
What makes DA Techs different from other mobile wheel repair companies?
We were the first company in the UK to place a CNC lathe in a van. Since then, we have pushed the barrier of what is achievable with mobile alloy wheel repair.
Our exclusive Micro Lenco technology, network of elite-trained technicians and proven track record of over 500,000 wheels repaired make us the trusted partner for dealerships, fleets and private drivers nationwide.
Simply put: no one delivers faster, safer, or higher-quality mobile wheel repairs.
Do you offer weekend mobile wheel repair?
Yes, weekend appointments are often available, depending on technician availability. Contact your local DA Techs branch to find out more.
