Hi.
A couple of my car's alloys were kerbed a while back. Nothing structural or dangerous, but they are in need of a refurb as they look awful and this would also deter future buyers of the car.

Can anyone here recommend a specialist for this, please. I'm not looking for costly perfection, but just a decent job at a low-ish cost.

Thanks in advance.

He's a mobile service and charges £35 a wheel.
Used him with no complaints.

Cheers. Much lower cost than I guessed. Haven't researched it all, but thought it might be a lot more per wheel than that.

Out of interest, how exactly do they reburbish damaged alloys?

What a coincidence!!! Have been checking out on line myself this evening about refurbished or new alloys.

Think I have 2 mis shapen wheels as two tyres keep going down. However, trying to get them checked out at service has been a nightmare, so looking elsewhere.

Once you have had them refurbed you might consider looking at fitting some "Alloygators". I don't know how to post a link but Google them. Will stop future damage from light "kerbing". They seem like a low cost method of preventing future damage at around £35.00.

If you want a proper refurb job done then Wheel Works in Crawley are worth a look.

I had 4 wheels stripped refurbed and powder coated for about £60 a wheel. They looked great for about a week until I kerbed my front wheel again :whistle:
