I have kerbed my alloy wheel today and would like it repairing.

Can anyone on here give me an idea of cost and recommend anyone in my area (Redditch, Worcestershire) that I can use for the repair?

Here is a picture

I recently (for a laugh) got BMW to quote. They wanted £90 per wheel.

If I were you, I would enquire at local body shops. For painted wheels (standard alloys) they are quoting £60 ea, including refittign tyres etc.

Although you may have a problem, your wheels are diamond cut, not painted, which may affect how well they can be repaired.

Good luck.

boingboing,

(Not a Baggies fan by any chance ???).

I know it is a bit further for you that you wanted, but went to see this place last week:

Look a decent outfit, seemed to know their stuff, prices were very competitive but importantly, have been recommended on the forum.

I will deffo be getting all my wheels done, but just before Santa Pod ... T

I had all four 19" 172 done last week. Cost me £150. Used the same geezer that did my RRS, looks the business.

Premiere in MK have a good rep for refurbing diamond cut wheels. expect 60-90 per wheel.
