We've seen a 40% YoY increase in our wheel straightening services
We’ve seen a remarkable 40% year-over-year growth in bent wheels serviced across The Wheel Specialist network. This rising demand presents a significant opportunity for new franchisees to boost sales and profitability from day one.
At The Wheel Specialist, we are experts in assessing and restoring wheels to their original shape. This service is cost-effective, saving customers money compared to purchasing new wheels. Properly straightened wheels ensure a smoother ride and overall better vehicle performance. Additionally, it is convenient for customers, as we already have their wheels and can ensure the safety and optimal functioning of their vehicles.
Wheel damage can manifest as odd vibrations or a shaking steering wheel, which can be both scary and uncomfortable. It may even feel as if the wheels are wobbling. If left unaddressed, damaged wheels can shorten the lifespan of tyres, leading to higher expenses. In some cases, wheel damage can make driving dangerous or result in an MOT failure. Our wheel straightening service addresses these issues, providing a safer and more comfortable driving experience for customers.
