The Most Common Alloy Wheel Damage
Kerbing
Kerbing represents the easiest way to inflict damage on your wheels. As a result, itâs also one of the most frequently occurring. In short, kerbing is a consistent issue for drivers in Harrogate and beyond.
Kerbing involves the alloy wheel making contact with a kerb edge. This can occur in a range of situations, be it pulling up at the side of the road or taking a corner too sharply. However it occurs, kerbing results in scratches and gouges to your alloy wheels, spoiling their appearance.
The scale of the resulting alloy wheel repair work depends on the force of the impact. Needless to say, we find a solution to fix any kerbing damage, including alloy wheel straightening and welding services. These situations also represent a good opportunity for a full alloy wheel refurbishment. You can integrate options such as powder coating and diamond cutting to your tastes.

Pothole Impact
While kerbing usually occurs due to a mistake by the driver, the blame for a pothole impact lays squarely in the poor condition of a road. Of course, this makes it one of the most frustrating forms of alloy wheel damage for our customers in Harrogate. In short, driving over a pothole at speed causes an impact that can puncture a tyre or put a significant dent in the wheel.
As with kerbing, the extent of the damage depends on the force of the impact. In some cases, a simple alloy wheel straightening service may suffice. More severe cases may require extensive alloy wheel repairs.
As always, the option for a full alloy wheel refurbishment remains an option. Thereâs never a bad time to invest in powder coating or diamond cutting.
Â
Brake Dust
Whenever you engage the brakes while driving the roads of Harrogate, tiny particles of dust cover the surface of your alloy wheels. If left to accumulate, this dust builds up and burns itself into the wheelâs surface, permanently damaging them.
Regular washing significantly reduces the likelihood of this happening. However, you should also note that most regular detergents donât always get wheels entirely clean.
In extreme cases, if you leave this dust for too long, we will need to perform a full alloy wheel refurbishment. Fortunately, we specialise in diamond cutting, while our powder coating range has thousands of colours to choose from.
From alloy wheel straightening to any form of alloy wheel repair, The Wheel Guru provides a trusted, respected service for motorists in Harrogate and across the wider Yorkshire area.
