The exact price depends on the damage and the type of rim.<\/span><\/p><p><b>How much does it cost to repair kerb damage?<\/b><b><br \/><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> At a spray shop this usually costs 100 to 200 euros per wheel rim. With Recarfix, you can repair light damage yourself for less than 30 euros.<\/span><\/p><p><b>What is cheaper: repairing or replacing?<\/b><b><br \/><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A new alloy wheel is almost always more expensive than repairing one. Replacement is only truly necessary in cases of severe structural damage.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Is Recarfix a suitable alternative to professional repair?<\/b><b><br \/><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Yes, that's fine \u2013 as long as it's cosmetic damage. Recarfix gives a smooth result without the need for spraying or sanding.<\/span><\/p><p><b>How long does the result of Recarfix remain aesthetically pleasing?<\/b><b><br \/><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Up to four years, depending on how you use and maintain the car. The patches are UV-resistant and car wash-proof.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Can I go through the car wash with Recarfix patches?<\/b><b><br \/><\/b>Yes. 48 hours after application, it is safe to go through the car wash. When using a pressure washer, maintain a distance of 30 centimetres.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8ff5f63 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"8ff5f63\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/recarfix.com\/en\/shop-by-car-make\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Choose the Recarfix patch for your brand here<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Velgenreparatie kosten: wat betaal je \u00e9cht voor het herstellen van velgschade?
