    Unhappy Kerbed alloy, where to get it repaired in Bristol.

    Hi,

    Ive just bought a new car and its got a Kerbed alloy (see pic)



    Does anyone know someone in Bristol, who can do a good job at a blinding price .

    I was chatting to someone last night and they said some leaftlets had been posted in the Bristol area, where they were charging only £10-20 a wheel (mobile unit), does anyone know they're number?, or somewhere similar.

    Cheers
    Matt

    I dunno if you will be able to get it fixed properly, in the pic the wheel looks like it has a 'Ding' in it, i was under the impression that only 'Scuffed' wheels could be sorted?!

    Scuffed, scraped, dented, bent wheels can all be fixed... at a price.

    I'm just having a set refurbed and it's £260 for 5 x 17" wheels to be refurbed (scuff, scrapes etc. - inc. valves & balancing) and an extra £25 per rim to straighten them (but I'm not paying that much )

    I have been quoted £50 to sort out the "ding" but I was thinking of buying a new alloy and tyre, then put the "dinged" wheel in the spare wheel section, as I currently only have a 13" wheel as a spare lmao .

    Will the 17" wheel fit in the boot (you know that spare wheel thing)

    i got a quote for a friend, it was 40 quid to sort the wheel out, in the end after 3 months of waiting he had to pay over 100 quid!

    wheelpower in torquay, avoid like the plague

    as far as somwehere to actually do a good job, sorry no idea! scuffs in exeter is supposed to be pretty damn good
