Hi all,

Just had my alloys totally redone at KO Alloy Wheel Refurbishers on the A1o just north of the M25.

Have to say, they look mint (yet to see them in daylight!) - £342 all in.

Reason for the post though, is the carwash next door, in the same building (owned by the same guy) has flyers that give you 20% off! (which I discovered after i paid the bill! - something that i "addressed").... so therefore all the alloys, stripped, coated, baked and laquered, tyres fitted and balanced with values would be £273.60 - not bad at all.

ta, S

Did the respray cover the whole rim? not just the face?  How long did they take to do?  Have you a contact number?

Thank you for the report Simon, I too am in need of a full refurb on all 4 wheels, very local to me too. Did you leave your car with them and if so how long did they need it for?

Cheers

Hi Gents,

The job covered the face and all of the visible struts of the alloy including inside the rim... dropped the car off at 9am and picked up at 6pm (think they can get it done a bit quicker) and booked only the day before....no photos i'm afraid (i'd nip out now but it's too dark and too cold ), but I have to say the job is nothing short of perfect.... totally as new. they can colour the alloys as well if you want, but i chose to keep mine as is (silver)...the number on yell is 01992 624433...

my only gripe was not getting the discounted price off the bat....they didn't seem to share my views on how effective marketing should lead to happy customers, not ones who think they paid over the odds when they walk next door!  if i was buying next time, i'd visit the car wash next door first, enquire about valet options, and ask about refurbs.... I think there's a poster on the wall as well.
