Morning

I need to get a set of 19" Wheels refurbished before the Summer kicks in, and am based in Sherborne, Dorset.

I was going to use a place over in Bournemouth, but was wondering if there were any recommended places any closer that anybody knows of?

I don't mind travelling to get them done if they have a relatively quick turnaround and good price, and if they can do the Tyre removal/refit themselves.

Also, I'm after a fairly simple refurb - little bits of Kerb grazing to be patched and then a recoat in a Silver, so nothing too involved.

Cheers

I have used them before (Fareham branch) and they did a fantastic job, if you post in the South Coast section they will nearly all tell you to go there also.

That's good to hear. I'll keep them in mind still then if there aren't any other local options!

Guess Bournemouth is perhaps closer than Exeter? I know a great place in Exeter - just picked up 4 Audi wheels they refurbed for me last night. Google South West Wheel Repairs if curious about them. smile

Yeah, Bournemouth is a little closer than Exeter, but I'll give them a look as well.



Oh, Saleen, thanks for the PM/Email - very useful to know at this point! smile

If you do, tell Bob Jason with the silver fabia recommended him and I might get a discount off my next job I send him biggrin

If price is more of a concern that quality, there's a chap in Honiton that I use. Under really close inspection, my last set aren't quite perfect but they were much much cheaper than everywhere else.

I'm sure if you're willing to pay the "going rate" the finish will be as good. For reference, I got a set of 17" rims that were really badly corroded blasted and painted for £40/wheel (no VAT)!!!!!

His name is Shaun and he's on 07889 334767. Tell him that Pete from South Brent recommended him.
