Alloy Wheel Straighten Recommendations - West London

[ukkid35]

I've gone back a few pages, but can't find any relevant threads

I'm looking for recommendations for somewhere that can straighten wheels, as I have several that get comments when I get them balanced

Suggestions for W London, Berks, Herts, etc would be very welcome

Pristine Wheels in Newport Road had an excellent reputation and I was very pleased with their work when I had a wheel to straighten. Sadly they have shut down their family run business quite recently. There was another company in MK with a slightly similar name offering a similar service which I believe is still trading, however it had a very different reputation.

ETA: Lepsons seems to be generally well regarded, although not as highly as Pristine was. I've no personal experience with them.

In the new year I’m going to try Spit and Polish (now owned by Lepsons), who offer collections from Merityre Southfields. I’ll try to report back with a success rating.

I was impressed by the set up at H&L Motors wheel centre in Hampton Hill.

I've not used them for wheel refurbishment (only tyre fitting because they have full Hunter road force system), and I don't know whether they do straightening, but it might be worth a call. They certainly have wheel machining and crack testing capabilities.

I had good results from First Aid Wheels in Hampstead https://fawheels.co.uk/

I like the way they have the costs set out clearly, but I'm starting to think that many of the wheels I have are probably not economic to repair

Bespoke Alloys on the roundabout off the M40 at Denham / Uxbridge are very good. They do work for Maserati / Ferrari main dealers, and did a great job of refurbing my wheels and straightening 3 of them.

Thanks, that confirms a recommendation from a friend of mine who is nearby and in the trade
