I'm looking to refurbish my alloys and also repair some scratches and small dents. Specialist recommendations for both would be much appreciated. Thanks

Chris at Exel wheels is the one to contact. Service, quality second to none imo.

As said above, Chris at Exel will fit spare wheels if required and refurb your originals to the highest standard. Delivered door to door.

Iv'e had two sets done to date and the finish is lasting well. yes

Lepsons in Gillingham are also highly regarded. In fact I would not be surprised to learn that Lepsons are the firm to whom Exel outsource their refurbishment service to...(but this is just an educated guess on my part!). thumbup

Your guess is correct. I had Excel do my previous car's wheels, did a good job, not perfect, but good.

Exel sends the wheels to Lepsons who do the refurbishment. No idea if Exel process and Lepson's treatment are different. I'd be surprised if Lepson's put the wheels through a different process for Exel.

Exel offers a loan wheel service which Lepson's does not.

If you are looking for a tyre off re-furb I'd recommend these people. Maybe more hassle but they help with delivery.

Prety much this.
I was very happy with the service I got. There are a couple of very small differences in the finished product that Chris gets from Lepsons.
What I received was better than the original factory finish (OEM satin black and diamond cut wheels). I was fortunate enough to also have a tour of Lepsons facility and it was very impressive to say the least.
