Looking for recommendations.

Got my wheels refurbed a couple of months back and they got the colour completely wrong, revved the sin out of the engine as I left (I gave them the benefit of the doubt), overtightened 2 wheel bolts on each corner, and painted on the part where the wheel meets the spigot so my mechanic says now it fits poorly.

Basically everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. I can't be bothered going back to them.

Ideally looking for somewhere that could collect wheels from me as that experience has killed my trust in leaving my car with somewhere like that overnight, or has a spare set (which is unlikely as it's quite a rare car - V10 RS6).

Is it just me or are customer service / general standards getting worse nowadays?

I've had a set of diamond cut alloys refurbed, it was at Diamond Alloys in Stores Road, Derby. Also had a full refurb done on a set of Subaru wheels a few years ago, both sets were exactly as expected.

Yeah used Diamond alloys before and done a good job.

Theres also Dan Merrin Wheels in Long Eaton who is supposedly good.

I used Diamond Alloys before and the quality was awful. Maybe just a bad day in the office though.

Belmont Metal Finishing in Old Dalby gets my vote every time, the lads do a great job and take genuine care in what they do.

Also a TVR specialist next door so normally so nice metal to have a look at!

As yesterday's post mentioned, McMillan Alloys in Hinckley did a great job on one of my wheels..
