Mobile wheel refurb

sheps · 12-07-2008, 04:47 PM

Evening everyone,
Does anyone have any names/numbers/company's that specialise in Mobile wheel repair in the West London area?
A colleague needs his rear wheel done and one of my 225's met with a curb on Friday night - makes sense to have them both done at the same time.

I asked the same question a few days ago but got very little response. I've now decided to use BMW Battersea - they're quoting £60 - £80/wheel for a refurb which seems reasonable to me.

NOT bad that is, but same as every dealer.. Think mobile fellas do it for 50 ish.

Mine is actually in at the dealers tomorrow for a service - I guess I could get it done there, but there's a couple of guys at the office who want theirs done too, was hoping to maybe book a guy for the day and sort everyone.

The mobile mob appear to be very hit and miss - depends who you get on the day. See detailing world for comments.

I agree entirely with this, you really do need a recommendation from someone.

They will do a very good job of it too. However, like all 'quick' repair places, all they do is pull the edge of the tyre back, flat back the surface of the wheel, and repaint/lacquer . If you want a full refurb (as in chemical strip down, primer, base coat, powder coat, lacquer) then you need to contact someone like Lepsons (who are based in Gillingham in Kent). I used them to do all of my wheels, and they are FANTASTIC. Costs in the region of £90 plus vat for a single 19" wheel.

Thanks buddy, will give him a call.
Car is with the dealers now (Elms of Bedford) getting an oil service and squeaking drivers seat fixed. Will be able to see the damage properly once they've cleaned it (it was filthy).

Need to tie up with the other guys at the office who want it done also, we were trying to get them all done at once and get a discount.
