A good alloy refurbish service ?

Post by dodgydave » Wed Oct 12, 2005 11:54 am

Guys,

I'm looking for a good refurbish service around East London. Last time they’ve done my wheels they screwed up the Paintjob and all that paint is chipping off now. ;-(

Also the wheels are a bit wonky so I'd need a service which straitens them out again. So, I guess they can't do this in these mobile service units, right?

It would be ideal if they could pick the wheels up and deliver them when finished as I haven't got a second set of wheels.

Cheers,
Dave

Dave, not used them myself, but always hear excellent reports of Pristine in Milton Keynes - who have "agents" all round the country who will arrange pick up.

bit further afield - I had my RS4 wheels done at wicked wheels near Gatwick and they carried out a super job.
M3 CSL - Silver Grey, a few options.

Think I'll be using Pristine in Milton Keynes.

When do you think is a good time? I'd imagine there is a few more months of road gritting yet !!!
