Mobile Alloy Wheel Repair for Auction Houses
Keep hammer prices high with on-site diamond alloy wheel repair
We know that in the auction world, presentation drives value.
Every vehicle needs to look its best to attract bidders and achieve the strongest hammer price – but damaged alloy wheels can quickly undo that, lowering confidence and holding back sales.
That’s where DA Techs’ expert on-site wheel repairs solve your headache.
Our game-changing mobile wheel repair workshops bring showroom-quality results directly to your auction house, restoring 95% of damaged alloys in just a matter of hours, not days.
No waiting for wheels to be sent to a factory, no unnecessary costs, no disruption to your auction schedule – just vehicles presented in pristine condition and ready to sell.
The DA Techs difference
Pioneers in the industry
We were the first in the UK to install a CNC diamond-cut lathe into a van, creating the original – and best – mobile wheel repair workshop.
Exclusive technology
Our Micro Lenco lathe is the only mobile CNC system capable of repairing up to 23” wheels and complex profiles, even with the tyre on.
Growing national reach
From independent dealerships, to major groups and private vehicle owners, we deliver incredible results across the UK.
Unmatched experience
With over 250,000 wheels repaired, our expertise in mobile wheel repair is unrivalled.
Focus on sustainability
Our technicians use safer processes, fewer chemicals and produce less waste – protecting both people and the environment.
Smarter, faster and cheaper than traditional factory wheel repairs
Traditional wheel refurbishment requires transporting cars offsite to a factory.
This process typically takes three to five days, adds transport costs and delays vehicle preparation – all while your valuable auction item sits idle.
But we do things differently.
Our mobile wheel repair workshops are fully equipped with exclusive Micro Lenco CNC technology, allowing us to complete 95% of wheel repairs on-site, same day.
With over 500,000 wheels repaired, we combine speed and convenience with proven industry-leading standards.
For auction houses, that means more vehicles ready for sale, presented to the highest standard, with less cost and downtime.

Auction house alloy wheel repair FAQ
Still wondering how it all works?
Here are some of the most common questions we’re asked by vehicle auction operators about our mobile alloy wheel repair service.
Why does alloy wheel damage affect auction prices?
First impressions matter; damaged alloys can make buyers question how well a vehicle has been maintained, reducing confidence and final hammer prices.
Restoring wheels to showroom condition helps to achieve stronger bids and faster sales.
Can you repair wheels whilst vehicles are being prepped for sale?
Absolutely.
Our mobile wheel repair workshops operate discreetly alongside other preparation teams, allowing full site operations to continue while repairs are completed.
Do repairs meet auction standards?
Yes – all our repairs meet or exceed OEM standards, ensuring vehicles present perfectly under auction lighting and inspection conditions.
Can I book a regular wheel repair slot?
Yes – many auction houses schedule regular weekly or fortnightly visits to stay on top of stock preparation.
This ensures vehicles always look their best and are consistently ready for sale.
How many wheels can be repaired in a day?
On average, our mobile wheel repair workshop can repair between 10 and 15 wheels per day, depending on wheel size and level of damage.
This makes us the ideal choice for busy auction sites processing large volumes of vehicles.
Why is DA Techs cheaper than traditional methods?
Our mobile service removes the need for transport and factory overheads. This allows us to deliver factory-quality results at a lower cost.
Bringing the workshop to you saves both time and money, whilst keeping vehicles on site.
Do you work with other auction sites or groups?
Yes – we partner with national and regional auction groups, offering consistent service levels and simplified administration across multiple locations.
What types of wheels can DA Techs repair?
We repair both diamond-cut and painted alloy wheels, using our exclusive Micro Lenco CNC lathe. This is the only mobile system of its kind in the UK.
We can handle wheels up to 23 inches, including large SUV and commercial vehicle alloys.
How quickly can you complete repairs?
95% of wheels are repaired same-day, on-site, with vehicles ready for auction within hours.
This keeps your preparation process efficient and eliminates unnecessary delays in auctions or sales.
Are your technicians insured and qualified?
Every DA Techs technician undergoes elite in-house training at our Workshop & Training Centre and operates under full insurance, health and safety compliance.
Rest assured, you can always trust our team to work professionally and safely on your site.
What happens if a wheel is too damaged to be repaired on-site?
If a wheel is cracked, buckled, or heavily corroded, we will transport it to our factory workshop for advanced refurbishment.
Once complete, it’s returned to your site ready for sale.
Your technician will discuss this process in greater detail with you following inspection of the damaged wheel(s).
