Whoops I kerbed an alloy dodging a badly driven (is there any other way??) Volvo!!

Where can I get the the kerb taken out, in the Surrey/London area??

I guess while I'm at it, I'll change the colour to a lovely graphite grey and get some new tyres!!!

Can anybody recommend a company to do this? I've got a set of 15" alloys to run around on while it's being done!

Cheers
Andy

Could try asking your local dealer.

I had something similar last year, and my local dealer arranged for some 3rd party to come in and fix it whilst the car was in for its service.

Andy,

There's a place just off the Ewell Road in Surbiton, but right now I can't remember the name. National Tyres in Kingston recommended them. Give them a bell?

David,

Thanks for the advice! I called National Tyres, but they didn't know anywhere locally who could do it!!!

If you remember the road/what it looks like/where it's near, I can go hunting for it at lunch time!!!

Thanks for trying!
Andy

A bit out of your way but get in touch with KRIS (nicky-s@dircon.co.uk) as i saw the job that the outfit he used did when Kwik Fit knackered 8 of his rims!...and it was spot on.

Spit & Polish are crap, Lepsoms are crap (i've used them both!)

Speak to Kris, i think the place he used were in Bromley but do a search on the BBS under "Kwik Fit Bitchers" and he posted their details there.

Wicked Wheels are in the Essential directory in EVO magazine. I think they did an article on them in one issue and gave them a good review. They are based in Milton Keynes, but run a mobile service. Don't know what they are like but their number is 0800 298 5454. They couldn't give an exact quote but between 40-50 per allow depending upon damage - also stock Subaru Gold spray.
