Does anyone have any experience of getting alloy wheels refurbished in NI?


I have used Lester engineering in Lisburn before and just thought I should check out other options.

Anyone had anything done recently to give me an idea on cost? (It was many years ago I got mine done)

Cheers, Des.

    Plenty ...

    Like you, I too have used Lester & was very please. I then used Nu-Luk in Carrickfergus who did a super job & stood over the warranty when 1 started to corrode.

    This time around however, I used a local guy in Bangor (Stevie 9147 1007) who was exactly 1/3 the price of Nu-Luk who wanted £150+Vat to refurb my 2 piece split rims.

    Stevie done a great job & also being a body worker, he can create custom colours & finishes etc...

    Tell him Scott sent ya ;)

    I spoke to my brother who works for performance alloys, he says that Nu Luk is the only place that they recommend to use for refurbs.

  • I've used Nu-Luk before and would use them again .
    Does anyone know the opening times for Lester (I need 2 quotes to claim from Road Service for a damaged alloy)

    Kerrs tyres sub contract their work to nu luk in Carrickfergus.

    Nu-Luk in Carrick - pricey but very good

    Lester Engineering in Lisburn - not as hard to pay but still very good

    Bangor Auto Valet in Bangor - more cosmetic repairs but very affordable

    For what it's worth, I've used them all over the years.

    Cheers, P
