WheelRepairs.co.za is a free quote service for wheel repairs in South Africa. Whether it is one mag scraped on a kerb, a set bent by potholes, a crack in the inner barrel, a colour change for a 4x4, an alignment after new tyres, a puncture at the roadside or a new balancer for your workshop, one request reaches the repairers, tyre shops and suppliers near you.

How it works

Use the job card at the bottom of the page. For a damaged wheel, say how many wheels, the rim size, what is wrong and the finish, and the card sketches the wheel with the damage marked, suggests the usual fix, the working days and the checks after the repair. For alignment, balancing, tyres, sensors or bearings, choose the vehicle and the axles and it counts the wheels. For machines, kits, wheels and supplies, just say how many. We send your request to repairers and suppliers who work in your area, and they quote you directly. It costs you nothing.

Everything we take requests for

From a 19 inch mag bent in a Johannesburg pothole and curb rash on a hatchback in Durban North, to diamond cut faces recut in Pretoria, four steel rims powder coated black for a double cab in Polokwane, an alignment for 40 fleet bakkies in Rustenburg, a truck puncture on the N3 near Harrismith, TPMS sensors for a new set of wheels in Cape Town, a tyre changer for a new fitment centre in Mbombela or a box of patches and valves delivered to a workshop in Kimberley.

Getting quotes you can compare

Two quotes for "fix my rim" can be very different jobs. Send clear photos of the damage and the whole wheel, and give the size, the finish and whether the tyre is still on. Then check that each quote says what will be done (straighten, weld, refinish, recut), whether the tyre is removed and refitted, whether balancing, a new valve and an alignment check are included, the turnaround, collection and delivery, and any guarantee on the finish. For machines, compare the same specification, installation, training, calibration and after-sales service.

Frequently asked questions

Does WheelRepairs.co.za repair the wheels itself?
No. We are a free quote service. You send one request and we pass it to independent rim and mag repairers, tyre and fitment centres, alignment shops, mobile tyre services and equipment suppliers who work in your area. They contact you directly with a price, and you are under no obligation to accept any of them.
Can a bent or cracked mag be repaired safely?
Most pothole bends in the inner or outer lip can be straightened, and many cracks in the barrel or lip can be TIG welded and leak tested. Cracks in a spoke, near the wheel bolt holes or the hub, and wheels already welded before, are usually better replaced. A repairer must see the wheel to judge it. See bent rim repair and cracked rim repair.
Do I need an alignment or balancing?
Balancing stops vibration at speed: the wheel is spun and weights are added. Alignment sets the angles of the wheels so the car drives straight and the tyres wear evenly. A car that pulls or a steering wheel that sits off centre needs an alignment; a shake through the steering at highway speed usually needs balancing.
Do you take requests from workshops for equipment?
Yes. Tyre shops and wheel repairers send requests for alignment machines, tyre changers, balancers, rim repair machines and patches, valves and weights, and suppliers quote them directly.
