    ah well, all that ends well.... (perhaps, watch this space!):
    I rang the garage today who have agreed to a FULL refund for the work done on the wheels, so that's satisfactory.

    The funny thing is they swear blind they've had the same firm in (unnamed unfortunately) to do other cosmetic work and they've been really good.
    Perhaps it was just a case of they didn't do wheels normally perhaps?

    Anyway I'm happy with the companies response and will put the refurb on hold now until next year, I'm sure my credit card will heave a sigh of relief!

    A colleahue in work got repairs done to his alloy wheels by a firm in Dundonald called Alloy Wheel repairs (catchy, eh?) He was very impressed and cost £45 for the wheel that needed work. While dropping his car off he noticed a scrape on another wheel and he mentioned it to them and they did the extra work for free. They're in Carrowreagh Business Park.

    We've got a smallish scrape on the edge of one of our shiny new alloy wheels and are thinking of getting it repaired.

    Has anyone used these guys before?

    I got one done by a guy on the middle Brianel Road in East Belfast - happy with the result and from memory cost me £35 or £40 about a year ago.
