Alloy Wheel Repair Old Hill – Mobile Welding & Pothole Damage Repair
Hit a pothole in Old Hill and now have a tyre losing pressure, vibration or a damaged alloy wheel? LTC provides mobile alloy wheel repair support, cracked alloy wheel welding, wheel collection, balancing and pothole-damage checks for local motorists.
We regularly help drivers around Old Hill town centre, King Street, Halesowen Road, Cradley Heath, Rowley Regis, Blackheath, Quarry Bank and surrounding Black Country areas. If the vehicle is unsafe to drive, our mobile team may be able to inspect the damage at your location and remove the affected wheel.
Cracks are often found on the inside edge of an alloy rim, so the damage may not be obvious while the wheel is fitted to the car. If suitable for repair, we can take the wheel to our Brierley Hill branch for specialist welding, testing and balancing before returning it.
A large pothole can damage the wheel and knock the vehicle's alignment out at the same time. After the wheel repair, we can arrange a Hunter wheel alignment check at our Brierley Hill branch and make adjustments where required.
Old Hill Case Study – Range Rover Sport Cracked Alloy Wheel on King Street
A real mobile repair showing how a pothole-damaged wheel was collected, welded, tested, balanced and returned — followed by a Hunter wheel alignment check after the impact.
Russell Woodcock – Range Rover Sport
Russell was driving his Range Rover Sport along King Street, Old Hill when he hit a large pothole. Brandon attended the vehicle and found a crack on the inside of the alloy wheel rim.
From King Street Pothole to Repaired & Aligned
This job demonstrates how hidden inner-rim damage can be repaired quickly without transporting the entire vehicle to the workshop.
Our mobile specialist attended Russell on King Street, Old Hill, and inspected the Range Rover Sport.
Brandon found a crack on the inside of the alloy rim. The tyre itself had survived the impact.
The damaged wheel was removed and transported to our Brierley Hill branch for specialist alloy wheel welding.
The crack was repaired, the original tyre refitted, the wheel tested and then balanced before being returned.
Brandon returned the repaired wheel to Old Hill and fitted it back onto Russell's Range Rover Sport.
Russell then visited our Brierley Hill branch for a free Hunter wheel alignment check. The front toe was out and was adjusted.
From Russell's first call through to wheel repair, return and alignment correction.

Hit a Pothole in Old Hill? Check the Wheel Alignment Too
Repairing a cracked or buckled alloy wheel may only solve part of the problem. A heavy pothole impact can also alter the vehicle's wheel alignment, even when the tyre survives and the steering initially feels normal.
This is worth considering after a hard impact on roads around King Street, Halesowen Road, Old Hill town centre, Cradley Heath, Rowley Regis and Blackheath. Incorrect alignment can affect steering response, tyre wear and the way the vehicle tracks along the road.
If the vehicle begins pulling left or right after a pothole impact, the wheel geometry may have changed.
A steering wheel that no longer sits straight while driving can be a sign that the alignment needs checking.
Incorrect toe or other alignment settings can cause tyres to wear unevenly and reduce their usable life.
If the car feels different after the impact, a wheel alignment check can help identify whether the geometry has moved.
After Brandon welded, tested, balanced and returned Russell's cracked alloy wheel, Russell drove to our Brierley Hill branch for a free Hunter wheel alignment check. The front toe was found to be out following the King Street pothole impact, so the necessary adjustment was made.
A hard impact can affect the tyre, alloy wheel and vehicle geometry.
Suitable cracks can be welded and buckled alloy wheels straightened.
The vehicle's wheel geometry is measured to identify settings that may have moved during the impact.
Incorrect settings such as front toe can then be adjusted where needed.
