Default Arch rolling

Need my wagons rear arches rolling to stop them smacking on my tyres every time I go over a speed bump. Doing my head in

Anyway, can anyone recommend anywhere that ISNT arch enemy? basically got told to F off because I don't have a driveway, which was nice of them. Needs to be north west, either mobile or somewhere I can drive to, I live between Manchester and Sheffield.
Thanks
Matt

Heat gun and a rubber mallet worked a treat on my old wagon. No damage at all.

If you cant find anyone to do it, a length of scaffold pole, or a ratchet with a large (35-45mm) socket will do it. Oh and a jack.

Start by rolling the tube/ratchet around the tyre, then jack up one pump at a time until the lip is flat against the arch

Oh and lots of heat, but dont burn the paint lol.

Might be a little far for you to drive but Sharp Customs in Mansfield did mine, Charged me £80 and did a good job.
