Repair Alloys in the North West

Hi all,

I was wondering if you would be able to impart your wisdom. I have bought a car 6 months ago with scuffs on all four alloys but since getting it I have also kerbed it a number of time, making it much worse.

As the car itself is relatively new, the scratched up alloys is making it look older. Can anyone advice me on which type of repair I should get (which does not need much maintenance and is long wearing) and of reasonably priced garage/specialist in the north west.

I would appreciate any advice available. Thanks.

    If you have "kerbed it a number of times" in the 6 months you have had it maybe you need to decide why that is happening before you spend money having the alloys repaired.
  • Thank you, I have a reasonable estimate from national alloys.

    My local garage has a company, who will be able to do it for £45 per alloy. I have seen the before and after in the garage, pretty good job.

    Also Harrys dad - our driveway is finally finished so I wont be parking on the street with low kerbs which are always in my way :j
