Wheel repairs in Essex?

[Lensey]

Had a scuffle with a lorry today, I came out worse and the result is I have a kerbed alloy, can anyone recommend a wheel refurbisher preferbly mobile, I'm based in Braintree Essex?

Hey Darren

Had a similar issue happen a week ago with another car I own. However not had good experiences with mobile services, so I went with a garage + pickup service in the end.

Hopefully a good mobile service exists somewhere, but depending on the damage done, not sure a mobile is the best approach to use.

Good luck!

To be honest I reckon its too far gone for a mobile unit anyway? It may even be a new wheel job?

Hi Lens,

Any regrets about letting the T350 go yet?

What car have you kerbed?

To be perfectly honest? No, I don't I do have little twinges every now and then and I'm sure I will regret it in the summer but I just wasn't driving it enough and it was a worse having it in the garage not doing anything, and then there is my new found wealth witchI don't regret one bit, should be in that GT3 soon

I kerbed the S3, I had it remapped and lowered last week so its just how I want it now and bang this today

996 or 997 GT3?

I saw a 996 GT3 pass me the other day, it did looked lovely I must admit.

Good luck with the wheel repair. I friggin hate lorries, I lost out to one just before xmas, mine was a bit worse than just a kurbed alloy though

997 for me

Yer, I saw your little arguement with that lorry, I take it you never got anywhere with them? I feel for you, I would've been gutted if it had happened to my T350

[Diablos-666]

Still ongoing

It's not looking good though. Explained what happened and my insurers are trying to say that the lorry had right of way. Even though I was stopped and he shouldn't have been on that hill. They say it will be my word against his and will probably go down as 50-50

Haven't even heard anything from the other party. They havent responded to my insurers letters. The total bill only comes to around £1,500.

Good luck with the GT3 purchase, give us a little write up after you've had her a while

[Lensey]

Good luck with that mate, hope it comes out ok, I'll keep you posted when I get a GT3

I've used Wicked wheels before and will certainly be using them again, they're just outside Hedingham but have mobile units as well. If job is too involved they'll just take it to their workshop i imagine. Good luck!

Two of the lads who work for me live in Braintree, it's no problem for one of them to pop round and take a look, suggest what's the best way forward.

Just give me a call or drop me a PM.
