Steering wheel inspection 

Before the repair work starts, your Tasker first conducts a full assessment of your steering wheel's condition. This process involves looking for any scratches, cracks, or sun damage, and asking you specific details such as your colour or material preferences. Afterwards, they prep your wheel for the required repair and service. They disconnect the battery, take out the steering wheel, then remove its original cover including any remaining paint or other base materials. Once your steering wheel is bare and back to its original state, it's now ready for repair.

Steering wheel repair

A steering wheel repair starts with filling in all cracks, chips, and defects with epoxy. Other damages such as surface grooves, worn-out finger grips, and raised ridges are built and restored according to their original length, size, width, and other specifications. Your Tasker then thoroughly inspects the surface of your steering wheel and addresses any other cosmetic flaws. If none are found, the wheel is sanded and primed for protection. Another type of steering wheel repair involves custom wheel covers. Available in many forms, a wheel cover can easily be slipped or stitched into your steering wheel, thus making it a cost-effective alternative to leather or other steering wheel repair work.

Steering wheel re-Installation

Once your new steering wheel is refurbished and repaired, your Tasker safely reinstalls it to your vehicle. They first access your car's wiring connector then gently place your steering wheel back onto the shaft while checking for proper alignments. Once your wheel is mounted correctly, they insert the steering wheel bolts by hand and tighten them according to the manufacturer specifications. The last step includes a re-inspection of your vehicle's wiring connections to ensure your steering wheel is working and installed in place.
