Seven miles away, RM9 and RM10
Alloy Wheel Repair in Dagenham
Wheel Repair Ltd refurbishes alloy wheels at its workshop on Nursery Lane in Forest Gate, about seven miles from Dagenham. It is a run, so plenty of RM9 and RM10 customers bring the wheels down on their own rather than the whole car.
Why Dagenham drivers use us
Wheels are refinished properly, not touched up on the kerb.
Faces re-machined on a lathe, not painted over.
Seven miles each way for one wheel that is past saving helps nobody. Send a photograph first and you will know before you set off.
What people say
The damage we see most in Dagenham
Becontree garages and narrow entries. The estate was built with garage blocks and narrow rear entries that were never meant for a modern car. Easing through one is how a lot of RM wheels get scraped along the rim.
The A13 and Rainham Road. Heavy lorry traffic, heavily patched. A rim that drops into a bad joint at speed bends, and that is the shake through the steering.
Wide roads, fast kerbs. Much of Dagenham has generous roads with a high square kerb. Taken at an angle it takes a bite out of the rim edge rather than a light scuff.

Covering Dagenham
- Heathway

- Becontree Avenue
- Wood Lane
- Ballards Road
- Chequers Lane
Dagenham is about seven miles from Nursery Lane, which is far enough that we will be honest about it: for one painted wheel it may not be worth the trip, and we would rather tell you that than take the booking. For a set of four, or for a diamond cut face that has to go on the lathe, it is one journey and worth doing properly. A good many RM10 houses have a driveway, so a mobile visit is workable for painted finishes.
Common questions
Do you cover Dagenham, RM9 and RM10?
Yes, including Becontree, Dagenham East and down towards Chequers Lane. The workshop is on Nursery Lane in Forest Gate, about seven miles away.
Is seven miles too far to bother?
For one painted wheel, possibly, and we will say so. For a set, or for a diamond cut face that has to go on a lathe, it is one trip and worth doing properly. Ask first.
Can I bring the wheels without the car?
Yes, and from Dagenham it is often the sensible answer. Put the damaged ones in the boot on your spares and bring them down on their own.
I have a driveway. Will you come out to me?
For a painted finish, usually yes, where there is level ground and room to work. A diamond cut face has to come to the workshop because it goes on the lathe.
There is a crack in the rim. Can it be welded?
Sometimes. A crack in the right place can be welded and refinished. One across a spoke or into the mounting face is not worth trusting, and we will not sign that off as safe.
What do you need from me to give a price?
What the car is, and a clear picture of each damaged wheel taken square on in good light. From that we can give you a price in writing.
Do you do trade and fleet work out this way?
Yes. If it is regular volume the distance stops mattering, because it is collected and returned as a batch. Ask about an account.
Do you cover Barking as well?
Yes, and Barking is closer to us than Dagenham, about three miles.
