Alloy wheel refurbishment Scotland |
|
Hi,
New to the forum and just bought a 2005 HSE. 3 out of the 4 alloys are pretty sound for the age of the car, but one has the coating flaking off in places. Looking for a point in the direction of someone who can refurb all 4 wheels. I'm in the ML1 postcode area (North Lamarkshire), so close to home would be ideal.
Thanks in advance:)

I heard good comments about VMC as it is a women who runs the business and quite reasonable on price. Wheel Specialist are a bit expensive but that may be due to them being a franchise like the one in Cumbernauld.

I can personally vouch for VMC in Airdrie the finish and quality of work is excellent and to my knowledge are extremely fair on the price, although i never paid for my service with them(long story).
The lady has just taken the business over from the previous owner and is very keen for business and word of mouth and it seems to be working Disco 3 HSE

Took the recommendation to have the wheels done at VMC in Airdrie and I'm so glad I did.
Alloys are stunning and such a pleasure to deal with them. Turned all 4 wheels round in 24 hours for an amazing price. Also offered to fit any new tyres I might purchasei n the future FOC as they don't want my alloys getting scuffed or marked by heavy handed tyre fitters.
I urge you, if you want your alloys looking like they're just out the wrapper, give them a bell.
