Alloy Wheel Refurb: Glentyan Alloys
Discussion
Morning PHers!
As there are usually a good few threads through the year looking for recommendations for alloy refurbing I thought I would give a view on a recent job at Glentyan Alloys in Linwood: www.glentyanalloys.co.uk
As those of you who know me through the PH Ecosse Road Runs I suffer badly from car OCD.
The alloys on my 911 were powder coated when I bought the car over four years ago and there was the very start of corrosion around the valve seats so my OCD drove me to have them redone as the car was going up for sale!!
Quality: I'll attach a pic at the bottom but I'm happy with the standard and I am picky.
Choice: A vast array of colours including some very brave choices.
Turnaround: Car was dropped off late PM had a day of work and finishing and then collected on day 3.
Fancy stuff: Glentyan don't Diamond Cut but they have a relationship to outsource that and then finish the wheel in house.
Location: At the end of the Riverpark Industrial Estate just off the A737. Secure site with car locked away overnight and CCTV. Public transport links just outside the Estate for drop off and collection.
Service: Very personable owner - Colin - who cares about the quality he delivers.
Price: Very reasonable - 192 for 4 wheels - 70 less than I paid 4 years ago.
Alternatives: If Linwood is the wrong side of the country for you other good guys seem to be Mike the Polisher and Wheel Specialist in EK...no personal experience of either but seen their work.
Cheers B

do you know if they do alloy wheel straightening. This seems to be very much lacking in scotland yet most places in england seem to have specialist equipment to straighten buckles on the inside of rims very easily.
I have yet to find a place in scotland that can do that - one of the main points of a refurb is to also asses the alloy structurally and fix in problems that can be safely fixed.
