Alloy Repairer Recommendation in Surrey/Sussex...? UPDATE

Can anyone recommend a good repairer for alloys, preferably near Crawley/Gatwick.

SWMBO has one which has been deformed slightly on the inner rim due to a rather large pothole and dealer says new wheel needed.

I'm not convinced and I'd rather go on recommendation than risk some of the horror stories and being ripped off. Shocked[/b] 2021 D350 Fifty Edition - Carpathian Grey

Wheel works in flemming way Gatwick is the one I was about to use myself - not used them yet but they appear to have a good setup. "On first name terms with my local Dealer......now."

Hi Guys, I have used wheel works in Crawley for my old Jag XKR - sadly about 5 or 6 times, as got bent on pot holes and scraped on kerbs. They are BBS wheels and not easy either but thoroughly recommend them, they did a really good job. Also did some Jeep wheels for me too about 5 years ago before I saw the Land Rover light. Cost was pretty reasonable too. Not had a need to do Landie wheels yet!

Thanks all. Looks like Wheel Works are worth a try. Thumbs Up

Anybody know if Harwoods use them as they are only round the corner from them? 2021 D350 Fifty Edition - Carpathian Grey

not sure but a Jaguar Land Rover Dealer in Surbiton where I got my XK about 10 years ago were the ones that recommended them to me - they were linked to Crawley - and said a few used them - so very likely I think.

UPDATE

OK, finally got round to sorting out SWMBO's bent Citroen alloy and a big thumbs up for Wheel Works near Gatwick Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

Took it in around 11.45 today, helpful chap looked at it, said yes they could sort it and did I want to wait for it Shocked Thought i'd have to leave it and collect in a few days.

Anyway, 40 minutes later its finished, their tyre place next door having removed and then refitted the tyre (which was ok) and balanced the wheel. Job done. Thumbs Up

Now I will have SWMBO complaining that, if it was that easy, why didn't I do it sooner....oh well Rolling Eyes 2021 D350 Fifty Edition - Carpathian Grey
