Title: My alloys afer a refurb.
Post by: DDM on May 17, 2014, 06:57:56 pm
Evening all, just got my alloys back from being refurbed, at the same time i also got the center caps of my pick up done, bare in mind all that was wrong with the wheels was a very small amount of corrosion around 2 valves and a lot of marks on the inside of the wheel from removing sticky weights ect, and my center caps of the pick up had just dis-coloured, what do you think?  the center caps of the golf wheels arn't covered or laquered, and the caps of the pick up arn't laquered either.

Did you point this out to them when you collected them? Because I  can't see how they would let those out of the shop if they had any idea how bad they were.

 i certainly did mate, after firstly talking with the younger lad, he told me the owner had done them, and that he himself also agreed how poor they are, beleive me the pictures show them in one light, in real life they're worse, trust me. then speaking with the owner he said i've got two choices, either pay for them and take them back at a later date, or leave them and they'll do them again, seeing as i dropped them of on monday morning and picked them up on friday afternoon, i had no choice but to bring them home as my car was stuck on the ramp with no wheels on. this was after being told by the owner he thought they were just a winter set of wheels as i have the winter tyres still on. some excuse hey?

Just out of interest, did you get a discount from using the other local forum?

That's no excuse for doing a sh!t job!!
Make sure you get it in writing that you have a "free refurb"..

Who did the wheels ?

Post by: Viking on May 17, 2014, 08:48:40 pm
Whether they're winter wheels or not, he really shouldn't let jobs like that out of his sight in my opinion. I've not used him before, but I doubt I'd be inclined to in the future. However, as you know, there are other places who are little better or possibly worse. I'm more inclined to just live with the kerb damage that mysteriously appears on my wheels than run the gauntlet of refurb lottery.

Never mind, I'm sure he'll take them back and do them again properly.

Yeap, you should let peeps know who did this, poor service too. Your reputation as good as the service you provide and that (I'm afraid) is sh*t.

EDIT: too late, you've posted it. Well done

Bunch of arseholes!!! :booty:

that's putting it mildly, honestly i was boiling all the way home, i didn't even want to put them back on the car today, but i had no choice.  it's alrite them saying we'll do them again but they havn't taken into account it's a 1h15m drive each way to take them from where i live so to go back and pick them up it's 5 hours all in all, and in my pick up it's a few quid in juice, which i really shouldn't be paying for. anyhow they won't be doing them again, i'll cal this a lesson learnt.

That's gutting mate, I'd be so annoyed that someone done such a sh*t job and basically said yeah I know I've done it sh*t but I'll have another go it! Rather the dog painted them than them clowns.

Definitely ask for some compensation for shoddy work or cover your fuel.

Nothing worse that shoddy workmanship. Don't these people have any pride in what they do?

Don't know how they have got the balls to give them back in that condition.  :fighting:
