Kerbed Alloy

Hi, Unfortunately I kerbed half the rim of a front alloy tonight, after doing a search I found Honestjohn recommends www.wheelwarriors.co.uk in Chester. I was wondering if anyone has used them and can provide any feedback as to the quality of their work. The alternative is a company called Smart Wheels, any feedback here would be appreciated as well.

Also would a mobile service be as good as one carried out on premises as wouldn't the tyre need to be removed and balanced etc to do a proper job?

Thanks in advance.

    If you search around you'll find a place that will refurb the entire wheel and powder coat it for about the same price of a kerb repair, or even less. Only problem is the colour may not be a perfect match.

    Mobile people should have a balancer etc in their van but will probably be more expensive.
  • National Alloys in widnes, cheshire are one of the best around! They get people from over 100 miles away as there is no one that can do em better!
  • Thanks for the replies, already left the car with Smart Wheels who will do it for £35. I'll collect the car tomorrow, hopefully it be ok.
