    Does anyone know the name of a good company in Aberdeenshire who can reburb alloys? I've got a few small dents in one due to a guter running into one of my front wheels What do they actually do to the wheel? I was told that there is a mobile guy who will come to your house to fix on site - anyone heard of them?

    Thanks!
    Nenah :)

    Nenah, and anyone else interested

    The alloy refurb guy I have used is called

    Blasted Alloys, speak to a guy called Wullie Simpson on 01561 378148. He does a lot of work at the garages in Aberdeen or will come out to your house or place of work , remove the wheels and refurb them and put them back on, takes about a day - and costs an average of about 40 quid a wheel.

    Another option is to get them shot blasted and powder coated, have seen a few sets done and they do look good. You can have one of a number of finishes and colours and even have some sparkle added into the mix.

    Good place to try for powder coating is

    PPS Glassfibre in Inverurie. Speak to a guy called Keith Patterson on 01467 621907 and mention that Steve Kennedy gave you his number. Steve is a guy I work with, reckons we should get a discount if we mention his name.

    Hope this helps

    Thanks Martin and John - I called Blasted Alloys (catchy!) and he cant fit me in until the end of October - will give Keith a call and use code name "John" and see if he can fit me in any earlier.

    Let you know how I get on.
