I crunched an alloy the other day and it is making me sick to the core.
This is the day after I got angry with my wife for parking in a muddy puddle.
Anyway. I must get it fixed.
Anyone recommend anyone?
Thanks

As much as I hate to agree with Charlie, couldn't have said that better myself.

I just phoned them and am left a little confused.
He told me I would have to take it for him to look at first, and if he could do it he would take 3 days to do 1 wheel, and as there is no spare it would mean me having to leave my car with him for three days.
Can that be right?
I thought people just came round in a van and did it while you wait?

Yes, thats about normal time scale for them. Other people do have vans that come to you. Never used them though

Pretty sure john_r had a mobile lot in and thought they were good. See if I can find the thread, unless he turns up in the meantime.

wavey

They did the RS6 and the TVR; all the wheels were in fairly shocking condition and looked like new when finished. All they need is a power socket to run the kit on the van...

They spin grind the wheels (rather than flat grind) which gives a far better finish, followed by painting.

And if you're like me you'll promptly scuff one of them 3 days later! frown

They may be difficult to book though as most of their work is main dealer - think I had to wait about 3-4 weeks before they could come out!

Just bumped this thread to say cheers for the recommendation.
He was a top bloke, top service in difficult circumstances at very reasonable rates.
Refreshingly open about VAT fraud too hehe
