Alloy wheel refurbishment
Recently had a brush with a kerb whilst doing some tight parking, with the result had to take the wheel into Lepsons at Gillingham, Kent.

Took it in last Weds and was ready today the following Monday. That’s pretty good. They have a very pleasant receptionist who was a great help.

They did a superb job and charged £78.00 inc VAT. Am well pleased! The wheel looks ‘as new’, with no markings on the rubber. Even loaded the wheel in the boot for me!

I took it in whilst I am still running on my winter wheels. I will be doing the change over as soon as the temp increases, persumably, for a continuous period above 7 deg C., and the chances of snow decreases. All, of course, being a finger in the air situation!
Cheers!

I'm just about to refurb all my summer wheels before they go back on soon. Am looking at either black chrome or smoked chrome and been quoted £315 all in by the Wheel Specialist in Manchester.

Can't wait to get the 19's and summers back on, didn't think I'd miss em this much.

Have heard really good things about Lepsons, hope I never need to use them though.

They are called The Wheel Specialist based near Openshaw. Type it in Google and check out their website, they are a franchise with a few branches around the country.

They currently have 25% discounts on for four wheel refurbs.
