Title: Wheel Refurb in Kent
Post by: JLCoad on January 27, 2011, 12:33:47 pm

As stated above, my wheels are in need of a refurb. Any places in Kent that people have used before and recommend? Any guide costs?

Cheers.

Hi mate,

Lepsons in Gillingham, they are the only place to use. Iv had 3 sets done there and they always come back better than OEM.

If your nearer Tonbridge try Spit and Polish.

Im in maidstone so not far from Gillingham, cheers for the info.

Ive never had it done before, do they need the car for a day or is it a generally quick turn around?

Thanks.

It all depends how busy they are, which is usually very!! You'd have to ring them first to get a time scale.

They do a loan car service but you pay extra obviously. The best bet is to take the wheels off and drop them in if you can.

I have it on good authority that if you get a quote from either Lepsons or Spit and Polish make sure each firm are aware of it as apparently there is no love lost between the 2 and you might barter your way into a nice little price war. :happy2:
