Cornwall’s Specialist Workshop
Professional alloy wheel refurbishment, precision diamond cutting, non- structural repairs, and bespoke powder coated finishes.
Based at United Downs Industrial Park, St Day — serving Truro, Falmouth, Redruth, and across Cornwall.
When your alloy wheels suffer heavy kerb damage, deep corrosion, or non-structural scuffs, you face a choice: hire a mobile repair van for a temporary cosmetic touch-up, or do it right with a factory-standard workshop refurbishment. At Autoshine Alloy Wheel clinic, located centrally at United Downs Industrial Park near St Day, we provide complete, deep-level wheel restoration that mobile smart-repairers simply cannot match.
A mobile van will merely sand down the localised kerb scrape and spray over it with regular aerosol paint on your driveway. This finish is highly susceptible to peeling, weathering, and premature failure. Our multi-stage, workshop-based process involves stripping the wheel entirely down to bare aluminium in a specialist chemical bath, structurally repairing blemishes, and baking on an incredibly durable powder coated finish inside industrial curing ovens. Whether you drive a prestige vehicle in Truro, a daily commuter in Redruth, or a commercial van in Falmouth, our workshop delivers a comprehensive, long-lasting finish that meets original manufacturer (OEM) standards.
We safely strip the tyres and inspect the wheel for hidden buckling, flat spots, or hairline fractures caused by local pothole damage.
The wheel is fully submerged in a specialised tank to cleanly remove all old layers of paint, weathering lacquer, and baked-on grime.
Mild corrosion and microscopic pitting are blasted clean, creating an immaculate, high-adhesion surface for the new finish layers.
Deep gouges are filled using specialist aluminum welding techniques, then meticulously profiled back to the wheel's original factory contour lines.
Wheels are heated in our industrial ovens to release trapped air, then encapsulated in a tough powder primer coat to prevent future structural corrosion.
Your colour coat is applied. For diamond-cut configurations, our precision in-house CNC lathe cuts away micro-layers of metal to restore that high-gloss machined face.
A final clear acrylic or matte powder lacquer is baked over the wheel, completely sealing it against harsh coastal road salts, surface moisture, and corrosive iron filings.
Tyres are carefully re-mounted, precisely balanced down to the gram, and safely fitted back onto your vehicle ready for the road.
Available in hundreds of premium OEM shades and standard RAL configurations. Highly resistant to stone chips, road debris, and salt corrosion. The ultimate durable finish tailored for everyday Cornish driving conditions.
Our in-house CNC lathe provides a highly precise machined face over a custom powder coated barrel. This serves as the benchmark OEM style choice for prestige German cars, performance vehicles, and modern sports packages.
Stand out from the crowd with custom colour matches, sleek two-tone variations, high-gloss deep blacks, or specialist brake-dust masking tones built to keep your wheels looking sharp between routine cleans.
Full restoration profiles for standard alloy wheels ranging from 13" up to 24". Ideal for stripping away nasty kerb rash, stubborn corrosion scaling, and deep scuffs from daily use.
Precision recalibration using our industrial CNC lathes to cut an incredibly sharp, mirror-like metallic sheen across the outer profile of your prestige wheels.
Multi-piece performance options are carefully unbolted, systematically chemically stripped, coated individually, and rebuilt securely back to factory structural torque targets.
Specialised, high-end care tailored specifically for premium alloy configurations from major makes like Porsche, BMW M-Sport, Mercedes-AMG, Audi RS, and performance vehicles.
Heavy-duty cosmetic and structural repair upgrades optimized for lifestyle camper vans, work vehicles, transit fleets, and 4x4 options coping with tough industrial environments.
Specialist motorcycle wheel powder coating. Stripped cleanly to bare alloy and refinished with ultra-tough coatings capable of handling aggressive elements and track use.
Because we operate a rigorous, factory-grade workshop process rather than a quick aerosol cover-up, a complete multi-stage powder coat refurbishment typically takes 2 to 3 working days. This allows adequate time for preperation, physical defect corrections, outgassing, multi-coat baking cycles, and professional tyre balancing.
Yes, but it depends completely on the depth of the previous cuts and the profile of the wheel. Since diamond cutting utilizes a precision CNC lathe to slice a micro-layer of metal away from the face, a standard wheel can generally be cut 2 to 3 times safely before structural thinness becomes an issue. We examine every wheel meticulously before undertaking a cut.
Mobile repair vans focus on quick, localised cosmetic smart repairs without taking the tyre off or stripping old paint layers. They use basic body fillers and air-drying aerosol paint directly on your driveway. Our workshop at United Downs fully prepares the wheels, fixes non- structural damage via welding, and cures high-durability powder coat finishes inside industrial ovens for a factory-grade finish that lasts for years.
The total price depends heavily on the specific size of your wheels, whether they feature a complex split-rim or custom diamond-cut design, and the severity of deep corrosion or cracks.
