Why Dubai International Airport Drivers Book Wheel Refurbishment
Tight parking and kerbs around Dubai International Airport are exactly where alloys get scraped. Machining removes the damage rather than filling it.
More on what this area does to vehicles is on our Dubai International Airport page.

How Wheel Refurbishment Works at Our Ras Al Khor Bay
How long it takes. Two to three days for a full set. Wait or leave the car? Leave the car, or leave the wheels if you have spares.
- Tyres are removed and wheels are stripped of old lacquer and coating
- Each wheel is checked for buckles and cracks. Cracks are a structural decision, not a cosmetic one
- Mounted on a CNC lathe and machined to remove kerb damage and true the face
- Bent rims straightened on a press before refinishing
- Powder coated, cured in an oven, then tyres refitted and balanced
What to Check Before Booking Wheel Refurbishment Anywhere in Dubai
This applies wherever you go, not just to us. Dubai International Airport drivers have plenty of options, and these are the questions that separate a job done properly from one that looks fine for a month.
- Ask whether cracks are welded or refused. A welded alloy wheel is a structural repair and not every shop will tell you they did it
- Ask whether the finish is powder coated or wet sprayed. Powder coat is far more durable in UAE sun
- Ask whether wheels are machined on a lathe or filled and sanded. Filler shrinks and reappears
- Ask whether tyres are rebalanced after refitting. Skipping it causes vibration you will blame on the wheels
- Ask about colour matching if you are doing fewer than four
Before You Set Out From Dubai International Airport
Getting your car ready
Tell us if any wheel has been repaired before, and if you have locking wheel nuts, bring the key. If a wheel has a slow puncture you have been topping up, mention it, because that often turns out to be a crack rather than a valve.

We are open 24 hours, so the timing is genuinely yours to choose. There is no night rate, no weekend rate and no public holiday rate.
After Your Wheel Refurbishment
Recheck wheel nut torque after the first hundred kilometres, and have the balance rechecked if you feel any new vibration.
