What people are saying about us...

  • Left my wheel for a new tyre. Had a message on my answer machine when I got back from holiday to say it was ready for collection. The final cost was exactly as I was told when I dropped the wheel off.

  • Had a few issues with the alloy as it was cracked managed to get a new one the next day. The lads went above and beyond sorting new wheel nuts as mine has swollen and put the can up on a ramp so I could take pictures of the damaged alloy to send off as the van was only purchased 2 weeks ago. Thank you. VR46 MSRT
