Need my wheel repaired after hitting a curb tonight. Can anyone recommend any good garages that won't cost a arm and leg? I'm from the Caerphilly area. Cheers.

Any idea on the cost mate?

It all depends on what you have, 1-4 alloys, with/without tyres etc.

Worth just giving them a call

I don't think you'll be disappointed mate. My missus had her alloys refurbed by them and, over a year later, they are still mint. Good price, too

How have you managed to get it so cheap? I was put off by them because they wanted £80 a wheel for a colour change on 15" wheels!

They do good work just lie like crazy, everytime they've done work for me or friends they say be done in x amount of time and then they take 2 or 3 weeks longer
Last few times my mate used them they started getting worse
Like a full refurb and fit new tyres and balance go to pick the wheels up and the balancing weight just falls off .... considering they call themselves a specialist I wasnt impressed

Your the first negative experience I've heard, can't please everyone. And at some point someone is going to experience a mistake with them.

So not bad IMO only hearing 1 negative reply

What I see of it is they are the most expensive wheel 'specialist' around, if your paying top wack you'll want the best results
I know of more than 20 bad experiences with them if I was in the market for a refurb I'd take my money else where now

I can vouch for them taking a lil longer than they said, but they so get extremely busy. The wheels I handed them was in an awful state. They told me they sat in acid for 2 whole days to try and lift the 23yr old paint, along with other layers that had been added over the years.

Yes, expensive. But find me a decent wheel refurb place around cwmbran because I don't know of any sadly who'll do a good job after quoting £20 a wheel.

Turns out the axel was all twisted so I ended up getting a new wheel for £75 with a tyre from eBay
