Anyone out there who can do an alloy wheel repair in the evening this week sometime? Even better if they can come and do it on my drive.

I've managed to kerb mine today frown it's around the edge of the wheel rather than the spokes.

The wheel is of this type in Grigio Mercury

Thanks

Thanks for the recommendation.

Andy came round this evening and so far looks a fantastic job - can't tell where the kerbing was! Very competitive prices, evening visit to my house and done in just over an hour.

Would definately recommend to others.

Do you think he would do a refurb on some E46 M3 19" diamond cut wheels?

I need to find someone good in this area too. I'm tempted to give this Andy a call and find out when he can come to look, but all 4 will need doing and I have a feeling that they will need stripping back and having a complete refurb done.

With this in mind, does anyone have any recommendations for this kind of work in Reading/Wokingham that they have used?

I think they are quite hard to do arnt they? Lepsons or the like might be the best choice for these but migth be worth asking Andy.

He did a set of wheels for TOH car but I was able to get the tyres removed and had a spare set to stick on while they were being done.

Should say that I have nothing to do with Andy other than the fact I have used him several times smile

A lot of people (including myself) have used BJV for refurbing. A little way our of our area but they do do a collection service.

After using Andy once, I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him again - just give him a call and ask if he can do what it is you need.

Very friendly service and good advice

I use lepson's for all my clients super car wheels. They always do a fantastic job on high end wheels. But if it's 2 or 3 piece splits I have a specialist in Maidenhead. But he is only by special request.
