Looking for somewhere to have alloy wheel protectors fitted in Mulhouse without travelling across the whole of Alsace? Two AlloyGator partner centres cover the area, within 30 km.
Mulhouse presents several factors that accelerate alloy wheel wear: angle parking in the town centre, raised kerbs along the newer roads near the Cité de l'Auto, and 30 km/h zones with uneven road surfaces on the outskirts. A single kerb strike can cost between £150 and £400 depending on wheel diameter. Fitting an AlloyGator profile before such an incident works out considerably cheaper and takes around an hour.
The two partner centres near Mulhouse
The AlloyGator network covers the Mulhouse area through two approved fitters. They carry out the fitting of the complete set (4 protectors + fitting kit) in a single visit, by appointment.
- Supra Clean – Cernay (68700) : a multi-service centre located approximately 15 km south-west of Mulhouse, accessible via the D83. AlloyGator fitting available for all alloy wheels, from 14 to 22 inches.
- Automobiles Coupées & Cabriolets – Blotzheim (68730) : a convertible vehicle specialist located approximately 20 km north of Mulhouse, close to EuroAirport. Appointments required; expertise extends to large-diameter wheels (19–20 inches, commonly found on the convertibles and SUVs in their clientele).
To book a slot, visit the AlloyGator approved fitter page : the appointment booking form is centralised there.
What the fitting includes: duration, process, and inspection points
| Step | Estimated duration | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Wheel removal | 10 min | All 4 wheels are removed simultaneously or by axle, depending on the centre |
| Fitting the profile between the tyre and the rim | 30 to 40 min | Cold-fitted, no adhesive or heat required, tubeless compatible |
| Refitting + pressure check | 10 min | Checking that the profile does not affect wheel balance |
| Total workshop time | ~1 hour | Vehicle ready for collection the same day |
The AlloyGator set fits alloy wheels from 13 to 22 inches and stays in place during seasonal tyre changes, provided the tyre fitter is made aware of its presence. Both partner centres listed above are well accustomed to this.
Which colour should you choose for your vehicle?
AlloyGator offers the profile in several colours (black, silver, red, blue, yellow, white, and gold). Before your appointment in Cernay or Blotzheim, use the online simulator to preview how it will look on your vehicle's bodywork. For owners of Audi or BMW wheels — whose brushed aluminium or polished black finishes are particularly susceptible to kerb damage — the silver or black shade delivers a discreet result.
If you drive a convertible or SUV with 19–20 inch wheels — shorter tyre profile, more exposed wheel rim — also check the 4-piece alloy wheel protector set page to confirm compatibility with your diameter before ordering.
FAQ – Alloy Wheel Protector Fitting in Mulhouse
Do I need to order the set before visiting the approved fitter?
Yes, in the majority of cases. The set (4 profiles + kit) is ordered online and delivered to your home address, or sometimes directly to the partner centre subject to availability. Contact Supra Clean or Automobiles Coupées & Cabriolets before your appointment to confirm their supply procedure.
Does the AlloyGator profile withstand Alsatian winters (salt, frost, and damaged road surfaces)?
The profile is manufactured from reinforced nylon, unaffected by road salt and temperature variations between −30 °C and +100 °C. It does not crack in freezing conditions and is resistant to de-icing products. This is a particularly relevant feature in Alsace, where roads are salted from November through to March.
Does fitting affect wheel balancing?
No, provided the fitting is carried out correctly by a product-trained approved fitter. Both partner centres in the Mulhouse area perform a pressure check after refitting; additional rebalancing is not generally required.
