Default Reputable garages

Does anybody know of a reputable garage like Carnetix who can fit new wheels to tyres on to my car? Next availability is the 20th and I can but I’d rather not wait till then. I know kwikfit and the likes can but I need someone who specialises in Scoobs. I’m in the midlands area. Thanks…

I've used BMTR in Birmingham, their attention to detail is second to none, they don't use air tools and they took great care not to scratch my new wheels.

Just rang up and unfortunately they don’t do it but anyway I’m all booked in for Monday at BMTR thanks to the suggestion. Lovely set of fresh Advans going on!

Demon tweeks, had 4 toyo proxes fitted, was a good price and I'd resprayed my alloys myself and thought they would end up taking paint off the rim as wasn't confident on how good my paint job was, not a spec of paint had been touched.

Nice! Feel free to mention my name (Fivos with the blue STi) when you go
I have had the wheels of both my cars balanced there using Hunter's road force.

Will do mate! Yeah they did tell me they have a basic wheel balancing and a road force one for performance cars so just opted for the latter

Good choice, the road force solved the vibrations I had in both the XV and the STi, my review of it is here

Awesome! Really enjoyed that read and from what you’ve said it might be my new spot when it comes to everything wheels and tyres. Really looking forward to how it drives…
