When Carolyn caught a few hard scuffs on footpath kerbs around Napier, Phil made her alloys look like new in no time, right there in her own driveway. Her words afterwards: it was "like having a new car again." That's the result we're aiming for on every job.
What an alloy repair actually involves.
Wheel repair Napier customers ask for usually starts as a kerb scuff, a gutter gouge or a deep scrape. Phil mixes the colour in-house and applies it by hand with an airbrush to match your factory finish - it's not a rattle-can spray job, and there's no filler involved. The work is cosmetic kerb and curb repair, so it's about restoring the look of the alloy to like-new condition. Specialist finishes such as diamond-cut or hyper-silver are matched as closely as possible by hand, and Phil will set honest expectations before he starts so you know exactly what you're getting.You can drive away the moment he's finished. The only thing to remember is to leave the wheel unwashed and unbrushed for three days while the finish cures.

FAQs
Does the tyre have to come off for an alloy wheel repair?
No. Phil repairs the wheel with the tyre still on and the wheel still in place on the car, working at your home or workplace. There's no need to book the car into a workshop, organise other transport, or leave it overnight. He jacks the car up in your driveway, sorts the kerb damage on the spot, and you keep the car the whole time. A standard repair takes around 60-90 minutes, and you can drive away straight afterwards - just avoid washing or brushing the wheel for three days while the finish cures. For most Napier customers this is the surprise that makes them book: they didn't realise the job could be done at their door this quickly.
How much does alloy wheel repair in Napier cost?
A standard cosmetic kerb repair starts from around $150 per wheel including GST, with the final price depending on how deep and how widespread the damage is. A light footpath scuff costs less than a heavy gouge, and a full colour change is priced separately. Phil gives you the price before he begins, so there's nothing unexpected. Sending a photo with your enquiry helps him quote accurately. Many people start with one damaged alloy, see how it comes up, then have the rest done while he's there - combined work usually adds up to less than booking each wheel on its own.
Can Phil change my wheel colour, not just repair it?
Yes. Alongside kerb repairs, Phil does colour changes across Hawke's Bay - silver to black, gunmetal, white or a custom colour - and these can be done in the same visit as a repair. The colour is mixed in-house and airbrushed by hand for a like-new factory-style finish. If your wheels are a specialist finish like diamond-cut, he'll match them as closely as he can by hand and be upfront about the result beforehand. Combining a repair with a colour change in one booking is a popular, cost-effective option.
What kinds of damage can you fix on alloys?
Phil is known for being fast to book and easy to deal with - one Hawke's Bay customer summed it up as "great communication, fast to book, great job, fair price." Call 0800 KERBED (0800 537 233) or send an online enquiry and he'll confirm a time that works around Napier, Hastings or Havelock North, often sooner than you'd expect. Let him know whether you'd like the van at home or at work, and he'll bring everything needed to finish on site. Payment can be taken on the day by mobile EFTPOS.
