Posted on February 14, 2012 by Admin| Leave a comment

Here are what some of the customers think who have had their wheels refurbished at The Wheel Specialists newest franchise

“Thanks for doing such a fantastic job of my Z4 wheels. All 4 wheels were in very poor condition before having them refurbished. There was corrosion around the spokes and bolt holes, and to make things worse I didn’t have a locking wheel nut key from the previous owner. My wheels now look like new and I’m very pleased with the finish. Not only do you do you guys do a great job, but the customer service was as good as it gets – I would definitely use you again and recommend you to anyone considering having their wheels done.
Thanks Alex and the other guys (sorry I didn’t catch your names).”

Andrew

“Big thanks to the wheel specialist guys. Great value for money, really knowledgeable and friendly service. Quick turn around too and convenient as I work nearby. Really happy with the end product, my wheels look amazing!! Would def recommend to anyone so much better than buying new ones! Will be using them again.”

Mr W

“Thanks to Alex and the guys for transforming the wheels on my Mercedes CLK AMG Same day turnaround and superb attention to detail, the wheels look like new!! Thanks again guys! “

Mr Sprint

Well I think that says it all – enough said !

Why are winter tyres so misunderstood in the UK?

Posted on November 14, 2011 by Admin| Leave a comment

There seems to be a number of modern day myths around the subject of winter tyres. This had lead to many motorists ignoring the importance and the relevance of having them fitted in the UK.  Like most myths, there was once some truth behind them but in this day and age due to our advanced technology, research and the years of hard work and specialist expertise from many people within the tyre industry- it is safe to say that the modern winter tyre is a force to be reckoned with.

Something which you may not know is that winter tyres are already a legal requirement in most of Northern Europe which emphasises how misunderstood they are here in the UK. 

Over the last couple of years there has been a huge buzz about winter tyres so I thought that I would research this area of interest and deliver you with [...] Continue Reading…

Franchising: great for growth – but firm up the foundations first

Posted on November 10, 2011 by Admin| Leave a comment

It’s been six years since we first thought of franchising our business and a lot has happened in that time. Are we glad we did it? Absolutely, yes. But there have been some interesting and challenging times along the way.

 When it comes to growth, franchising can be a great way of expanding your business and your brand – but, in my opinion, you need to have a successful, established and strong business to start with. Alongside the growth of our own business, I’ve seen owners of failing businesses that have tried to use franchising as a way to prop it up. I’ve seen entrepreneurs that believe they have a good concept, but one that’s ultimately untried, and have treated franchising as a way to earn money fast.

 Both circumstances have lead to disaster – not only for the franchisees that buy into these businesses, but ultimately for the original [...] Continue Reading…

Heres what a recent customer posted on his car club forum September 2011

Posted on October 3, 2011 by Admin| Leave a comment

“As I posted previously in the thread here, I had booked my car in to The Wheel Specialist in Fareham, Hants for a refurb of my alloys.

As Joegals said in his thread (albeit a different franchise) they were professional from start to finish and I’m absolutely delighted with the result. Whilst I have no ‘before’ photos, each wheel had some issue or other, whether it was kerbing on a couple (my fault), a good few stone chips on a couple (driven off the road a couple of years back by a lorry ) or just general age showing a little bubbling of the finish, I’d decided it was time for a treat for my wheels.

I’d decided to go for the same finish as Joeglas in his thread – “Black Chrome” where they finish the wheel in black before applying a chrome finish over the top from the front [...] Continue Reading…
