Default Alloy Repair

I have an alloy wheel thats got a big gash out of the side, and as it stands these wheels are now just sat in the garage gathering dust


Does any one know of some one pref in the South East that can look/repair alloys??

Don't know if Pristine Wheels near Milton Keynes can help. They do lots of wheel refurbs. Sure the site will come up with a Google search.

I had mine done by BJV Engineering a month or so ago, for about £40 each including removal and refitting of tyres.

They came up just like new - nothing to criticise at all.

When I kerbed one on snow, I asked at the place in town that I get my tyres.

They put me onto a local company who did two for £30 inc removal and refitting of tyres.

The job they did was excellent. It pays to ask around locally.

Default Lepsons

Hi,
I've used Lepsons before to repair an alloy that was gashed after a spin off the road! The tyre was losing air so I got it built up and refurbed at Lepsons in Gillingham, Kent. Good service although I had to wait about a week for the job to be done as they were on holiday or something. Reasonable price as well - approx 80 quid (I think, it was 2 years ago!).
