Big Chalk Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 First of all congratulations on a great site. When I was choosing my new car this really influenced my decision.Picking up my Gti on Thursday and as it's "`pre-loved`" there are a few scratches on the alloys. Does anyone know if there is any way of repairing this?Any help would be much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 There are plenty of companies that do wheel repairs though most need you to send off the wheels and it takes about 10 days before you get them back. I needed to keep mine on the road so found a local company who agreed to sort them while I waited on a Saturday morning. Most garages use someone to tidy up their part exchanges, ask your dealer if they have a contact they would recommend or use www.yell.com some even do mobile repairs if you live in the right area.

Big Chalk Posted April 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Cheers for the advice. I wasn't sure if the results were ok after refurbing. I didn't know anyone who had it done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twisty b-road Posted April 29, 2003 Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 Some companies are mobile and will come to your house.Generally they do an excellent job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexfernihough Posted May 24, 2003 Report Share Posted May 24, 2003 wherabouts are you??if you are anywhere near to burton on trent i know someone who is very good.i managed to smash a 17" alloy on my smart car last year, couldn't get a replacement so had to have it repaired.there was a huge dent probably about `3-5` cm into the wheel and at the top of that the wheel had split on the rim. also a huge cerb mark on it.cost me 35 to have it fixed i think took 5 hours and when i took the wheel to a tyre place they said i was lucky not to have damaged the wheel.(little did they know i had done and it had been repaired, just goes to show how good a job it was!.don't know the phone number at the mo but i can find it for you.
