Alloy wheel repair in Tuzla
The workshop sits at 3. tuzlanske brigade 128 in Momanovo. Bring the wheel in, we look at it with you and tell you what is possible.
Why wheels take a beating in Tuzla
City driving is unforgiving. High kerbs around parking bays, sunken manhole covers and the raised edges left behind after roadworks all take their toll: one angled hit is enough to flatten a rim flange or knock the whole barrel out of true. Plenty of drivers only notice once the tyre starts losing air.
Here every wheel starts on the runout gauge. A buckled barrel goes onto the hydraulic press; where a piece of metal is missing or a crack has opened up, fresh material is welded in and only then does the rim go on the lathe until it runs round again. Alloy or steel, the sequence follows the damage.
Nothing leaves town. Straightening, welding, machining, bead seat polishing and painting all happen under one roof in Tuzla, so your wheel never goes on a trip of its own and you are not left waiting on transport. Diameters from small steel rims up to large low profile wheels are handled the same way.
Finding the workshop in Momanovo
The address is 3. tuzlanske brigade 128, 75000 Tuzla. From the city centre it is a short drive, which is why many drivers pull in on the way home from work, leave the wheel and collect it once it is finished. If you cannot spot the entrance, ring +387 61 570 429 and we will talk you in.
What we do for drivers in Tuzla
From a single scuffed rim flange to a full refurbishment of all four wheels, these are the jobs the city asks for most often.
Welding and crack repair
Cracks, breaks, holes in the bead seat and missing chunks of metal. The area is welded through its full thickness and machined back to the wheel's original line.
More on thisStraightening buckled wheels
A wheel that hops, shakes the steering or has gone oval after a pothole is pressed back into a true circle in small stages, with the metal checked as it goes.
More on thisCNC refinishing and lip polishing
Taking a thin layer off on the lathe restores an even circle and a flat bead seat, while polishing gives the outer lip the shine of bare metal.
More on thisPreparation and wheel painting
Old lacquer and corrosion come off down to sound metal, then primer and topcoat go on in a colour agreed before any work starts.
More on thisTyre fitting and balancing
Tyres off and back on, new rubber fitted, seasonal changeovers and wheel balancing so the steering stays calm out on the open road.
More on thisBrake caliper painting
Rusty calipers are cleaned back to metal and coated in heat-resistant paint, so the gap between the spokes shows a tidy detail instead of corrosion.
More on thisWhy leave the wheel with us
Everything under one roof
Press, welder, lathe, polishing wheel and the paint bay stand in the same hall. No sending the rim on to a third tradesman and no driving between two addresses.
An honest assessment
If a wheel cannot be repaired safely, you hear it straight away, before any work begins. We would rather say no than let a questionable rim back onto the road.
No vibration afterwards
Once the machining is done the wheel is balanced, so the repaired rim behaves like the other three. The steering stays calm and the tyre wears evenly.
Common questions from Tuzla
Where can I get buckled alloy wheels repaired in Tuzla?
At Servis felgi Sloga, 3. tuzlanske brigade 128, in the Momanovo district. Bent alloy rims are pressed back into shape and then measured again to see how much runout is left. Call or message +387 61 570 429 before you drive over.
Can I drop a wheel off without calling first?
It is better to get in touch on +387 61 570 429 first, because visits are arranged rather than tied to fixed hours. A short call or message settles it: you describe the damage, we say when to come, and the rim does not sit in your boot for days.
Do you work on steel wheels or only alloys?
Both are handled here. Steel rims are straightened and welded, they can be turned on the lathe and given a fresh protective coat once corrosion has eaten into them. Alloys can also have the bead seat polished. The material decides the method, not whether the job gets done.
My steering wheel vibrates, is the rim to blame?
Very often it is. When a barrel runs out sideways or up and down, the wheel cannot be balanced properly and the shake comes through the steering, most noticeably at higher speeds. Bring the wheel in for a measurement; if the rim is the cause it is straightened and then balanced again.
How do I know whether my wheel can be repaired at all?
Send a photo of the damage by WhatsApp or Viber to +387 61 570 429 and you get an assessment. Kerbed flanges, bead seats and cracks in the barrel are usually solvable. If a load bearing part is damaged and a safe repair is not possible, we say so openly.
Drivers come from the towns around too
Wheels arrive here regularly from Lukavac, Živinice, Srebrenik, Gračanica and Banovići, and each of those routes has a page of its own.
Your wheel is here, so is the workshop
