SWMBO crunched my new TT's alloy's against a kerb today  Can anyone recommend a good repairer shop or mobile unit in the Forest of Dean or Gloucester/Checltenham area please? LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.

No she won't - She'd already got a quote from Audi for two new alloys by the time I got home - looked a little ill at that prospect - even offered up all her cash and vouchers she had for her Birthday towards them  - I forgot to mention at the time that they could probably be repaired, and the insurance would cover any larger expense LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.

These guys...
http://www.chipsaway.co.uk/
...do good work. I have witnessed some of their alloy wheel refurbs and touch ups. Although it all depends on the tech you get, but I have not witnessed any bad work from them yet.

I have used Chips Away and the repairs have always been excellent. On one car we had which was RAC inspected for the new owner when we sold it, they didn't even pick up on the bumper being repaired.
