Paul did a great job with my alloy wheel after badly damaging it going down a deep pothole. The process was really easy meeting him halfway to give him the wheel, he explained what was done etc and a professional job was done. I then got the wheel back that same day which is great! Extremely reasonable price and I couldnt be more pleased! 100% highly recommend Paul and I will certainly use him again. Thank you!

Paul collected my Alloys from my home he is such a nice man. He showed me before and after videos of the work done he thoroughly explains and helped me understand the defects in my tyres and had specialist equipment in his works vehicle to do and onsite check before taking my wheel away for buckle repairs. He has calibrated machines to balance the inside and outside of the alloy wheels. Amazing professional service I dare anyone to say a bad word people of this calibre and skill are unheard of today my wheels are 20 inch Veeman VM1s in a OAK bronze factory powder coat and you would never know

Paul was an absolute legend of a professional, collected tyres with alloys, made suggestions, put the new tyres on the newly powder coated alloys which look amazing and dropped them off, amazing service from start to finish and would happily use again!

Paul did a brilliant job repairing one of my alloys. The wheel was picked up and returned within half a day! Paul showed me what the issue was and the end result which was very reassuring. Would definitely recommend his services.

Paul's attention to detail and customer service can NOT be beaten. He collected my wheels took them away removed tyres, refurbed the wheels, re-insatled my tyres, balanced them and then returned them.. Even asking what tyre pressures i wanted in them. I have had several sets done by paul and would NOT considder going anywhere else.
