    Hi All,

    My wife has scraped an alloy (badly she says, I haven't seen it yet) on her Aygo and is gutted

    Can anyone recommend a place in the Edinburgh area who they could recommend to repair it?

    Thanks

    Ken, I use a company called Rimtek. They are based Newstead, just outside Melrose, but I'm pretty sure they do go up to the Edinburgh area. They usually arrange to meet you at a dealer and do the work there. I'm pretty sure you got your MINI from Vardy/Dunedin, so meeting you there to do the work shouldn't be a problem for either of them.

    Rimtek are on: 07801952406 A word of warning, they are very slow at returning calls. You need to be patient.

    They do absolutely stunning work. You will never know the wheel was damaged.

    Thanks for the replies.

    John, have you used Newlife tyres for alloy repair? They are 2 minutes away from my house.
