I had only been the owner of the car for one week and allowed myself to be bullied by an irate motorist whilst I was trying to park. The net result of that was I ground out two wheels  When I saw the damage it was 9.15 am and needless to say I felt sick. I phoned HR Owen because they are local to me and by 10.15am the car had been picked up (no courtesy car) and three days to fix and deliver back to me.
Now I am wiser.....I think.
I never realised that the wing mirrors on my Gransport could be programmed with the seat memory to dip down to see the back wheels when the car is put into reverse. Those wing mirrors have become my best friend. They really do show you clearly if you are getting too close to the kerb. The only downside is that because they are dipping down they are useless to tell you any other information so you really need your wits about you.
If I should ever do this again would I ever use HR Owen again????? Not on your life. I do not mind paying a premium for a main dealer and the service but £150 per wheel is taking the pee pee. One would expect £150 for perhaps a split alloy refurb
My Alfa GT wheel refurbishment cost around £50 per wheel so £65 per wheel sounds to me quite fair
