Any suggestions or recommendations.

Need a crack repaired, ideally something with a same day service where i can drive up, leave the car and come back in a few hours.

I know Lepsons offer a 1 day alloy crack repair, so just seeing if there's anywhere closer that's around the same price (and for them to get back to me)

TIA

alloy weldcraft in High Wycombe are an alloy wheel repair specialist, I used them to straighten some buckled wheels a few years ago and they were great.

There's a company in St James Mill Road Northampton who are quick for that sort of thing but they do the buckles and cracks. There's a second company around the corner in Millbrook Close who do paint/refinishing but wont be that quick.

Cracked alloy wheel is SCRAP. Don't get it welded, it won't ever be as strong as the original. Buy a new one, your life is worth it.

He speaks the truth, I've seen countless cracked repaired and re cracked in the same place.

Even when done properly drilled out channelled and welded just doesn't have the strength.
