Title: Diamond Cut Before and After
Post by: hastd2 on 04 June 2014, 21:35

Guys just got back my front drivers side alloy, after the wife was forced off the road by a wheelie bin truck and ended up kerbing the alloy!!!!
So It was turned around in 4 days with a company in Kent for a sum of £90.
Cracking job done but dont fancy forking out £90 every time there is a mark on them

No worries mate, just wondered.  I would imagine it is them as they have a national reputation, offer free courier/carriage service and diamond cut refurbs.  Couple of my mates have used them with great results.  They are very local to me which is a bonus.

I still need my 19" Santiago alloy wheel repairing...... any idea which company does this national collection and delivery service, do they send a box/packaging to put it in?

Cheers

Any chance of a closeup of the area, looks a great job from a distance.

That looks amazing!  I need to get one of mine done too, I've heard a lot about lepsons.

I'm going to take mine to Prestige in Stockport, closer to home for me

Hi Guys
For anyone in the Glasgow area, I used the wheel specialist in East Kilbride to repair my Mk6 diamond cut alloy, cost £92. Really happy with the work as I had kerbed it really hard.
Avoiding kerbs like the plague in my new Mk7.
