Our story

Automotive experience with a specialist direction

Smartcar Performance has grown from the wider automotive experience behind Smartcar into a business with a dedicated focus on alloy wheels.

As wheel designs, finishes and customer expectations have evolved, so has the technology required to repair and refinish them properly. What was once treated as a relatively simple cosmetic service can now involve precision CNC machining, specialist polishing, welding, surface preparation, powder coating and detailed finish selection.

That is the reason for Smartcar Performance: to create a more focused environment for these specialist wheel services and to continue investing in the processes needed to deliver them.

Smartcar Performance is not about doing more things. It is about becoming better at the things we specialise in.
Why Smartcar Performance?

A natural evolution of our wheel capability

The dedicated brand gives alloy wheel services their own identity, allowing the business to focus more deeply on specialist repair, refinishing and technology.

01

Automotive Foundation

Built from practical experience in automotive cosmetic repair and vehicle presentation.

02

Wheel Specialisation

A dedicated focus on the repair, restoration and transformation of alloy wheels.

03

Technology Investment

Specialist machinery expands what can be achieved beyond conventional cosmetic wheel refinishing.

04

Performance Identity

A brand designed around customers and trade partners who value finish, detail and specialist capability.

Our purpose

Give every wheel the right process

There is no single refurbishment method that is right for every wheel. Design, construction, condition, previous repairs and the finish a customer wants all influence the route that should be considered.

Our purpose is to bring multiple specialist processes together so that wheels can be assessed according to what they actually need.

01
Assess FirstUnderstand the wheel, its condition and the desired outcome before choosing the process.
02
Use the Right CapabilityMatch appropriate repair, preparation, machining, polishing or coating processes to the job.
03
Think About the FinishHelp customers choose a result that works with the wheel design and the vehicle.
04
Inspect the ResultMake the completed wheel—not simply completion of the process—the focus.
What we believe

The principles behind the brand

These principles shape how Smartcar Performance approaches both individual customer vehicles and ongoing trade work.

◇

Specialism

Develop deeper capability around alloy wheels rather than treating wheel work as a small add-on service.

◈

Investment

Continue developing equipment and processes as modern wheel technology and finishes evolve.

◎

Assessment

Consider condition and suitability before deciding what repair or finish should be applied.

✧

Choice

Give customers access to OEM-inspired, performance, custom and specialist finish options.

✓

Clarity

Explain the available routes so customers can make a more informed decision about their wheels.

→

Progress

Keep improving the workshop capability rather than standing still as the industry develops.

More than a colour change

Specialist capability under one roof

The Smartcar Performance proposition is built around combining processes. A wheel may need cosmetic restoration, structural attention, specialist machining or a completely different finish.

Bringing these capabilities together gives us greater flexibility when assessing what can be achieved.
