The Real Cost of Potholes - And How Europit Can Help
Potholes - A Growing Problem For Motorists
As we're all aware, potholes are a growing problem on UK roads and they’re hitting drivers in Essex and Suffolk particularly hard. From damaged suspension to cracked alloy wheels, the costs can quickly stack up. But at Europit, we’ve got you covered with affordable repairs, replacements, and upgrade packages across Clacton, Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds, Heybridge, Thorpe, and Thorrington.
Recent studies show pothole related damage is costing UK drivers over £1.7 billion annually, with wheel and tyre damage among the most common issues. In Essex and Suffolk, road surfaces have deteriorated sharply, leading to increased claims, complaints, and costly repairs.
Replacing a single alloy wheel can cost up to £1,000, depending on the size and style. Even a basic refurbishment can set you back £175 per wheel.
