Wheel Straightening Banbury
Fix buckled alloys quickly and safely at 14 Automotive.
What we do
Save your alloys, straighten out your drive
With the state of UK roads, it’s no wonder more and more drivers are dealing with bent or buckled wheels. Potholes, raised ironworks and broken tarmac can all take their toll on your alloys, especially if you’re running low-profile tyres.
At 14 Automotive, we offer a specialist wheel straightening service for just £60, helping you avoid costly wheel replacements and restoring your vehicle’s performance and safety.
Only £60 including VAT
“We see this sort of damage every week, even on fairly new vehicles. If you’ve got a vibration through the steering wheel or something just doesn’t feel quite right, it could well be a buckled rim,” says Shane Fleming, Workshop Manager.
When should you consider wheel straightening?
- Steering wheel vibration at certain speeds
- Uneven tyre wear
- A noticeable wobble
- Reduced fuel efficiency
- MOT advisory or failure due to wheel condition
- After hitting a pothole or kerb
- When replacing or repairing a tyre
If you’re in for a tyre replacement or tyre repair, it’s worth asking us to check your wheel at the same time. Straightening a buckled rim now could save you money and extend the life of your new tyre.
Modern alloy wheels aren’t cheap to replace, particularly on performance vehicles or vans with larger rims. Straightening the wheel is often a fast, affordable fix.
“We invested in the right equipment to repair rather than replace. It’s better for the customer and better for the planet too,” adds Leon Smith, Managing Director.

The Process
Frequently asked questions
Is wheel straightening safe?
Yes, when done properly by experienced technicians. We check for cracks and stress points and will only straighten wheels that are safe to return to the road.
Will a buckled wheel fail an MOT?
Yes, if a wheel is visibly distorted or causes excessive vibration, it can be marked as a failure item.
Is it cheaper than buying a new wheel?
Absolutely. A new alloy wheel can cost £250 or more. Our £60 repair offers excellent value and can often be done the same day.
Do I need to book in advance?
We recommend booking to avoid a wait. Just give us a call or use our online contact form to arrange your appointment.
Can you repair cracked wheels?
No, straightening only applies to buckled or distorted wheels. If we find a crack, we’ll advise you on the best next steps.
