Request - alloy wheel refurbisher in Zug or Zurich

[JC29]

Hi Everyone,

I need to get a wheel refurbed after i kerbed it in an underground car park....

Does anyone know a good place to do this in ZG / ZH.

BMW can do this for me but would rather not pay dealer prices if it can be avoided

Thanks for the help!!!

May not be of any use but there is a place in the back of beyond north of Lausanne that specialises in wheels and they do operate a mail order service but one way or another, you need to get the wheel to them by post (withouth the tyre on). Die Poste is not too expensive for shipping domestically.

This guy came reccomended by a fellow PH'er - http://www.autocarrosserie-boffa.ch/

I used him for bodywork and a wheel refurb and was very happy with the results.

Perfect, thank you both for the help - will give them a call and see what they can do!

...and be more careful in car parks ; )

Thanks again

I can vouch for these people. They have been around for years on end, so that does speak for the seriousness of the work done. There was someone in the Payerne region but don't know if they are still around. I'll check on a Swiss PH type forum and let you know.

Edited to complete thread:
Found them. Trabold in Payerne, but no web site (yes some still survive without...): http://yellow.local.ch/fr/d/Payerne/1530/Reparatio...

For both companies, count on 4-6 weeks delay to get the job done and the wheel needs to be sent without tyre or valve. On the forum comments are good for both.

I've just done the same. Where did you go and what were the cost / results?

Hi All

Pneu Eggar in Winterthur (http://www.pneu-egger.ch/filialen/detail/filiale_winterthur/) repair wheels for 80 CHF per wheel. I had the summer wheels on my BMW done last week - dropped the car off on Tuesday evening and had it back Thursday evening. They only needed a few days notice. If your wheels have some deep scars the quality of the repair work probably isn't quite to the like-new standard you'd want for detailed or expensive wheels, but is really fine for an everyday car you know will get kerbed again sooner or later.

Nb, if you bring along new tyres for them to fit once your wheels are repaired they will want to charge you 40CHF per tyre for not buying from them (something Adam Touring have tried before - good example of Swiss anti-competition systems) but if you suggest they should adjust their own prices they will negotiate this down.

cheers
