Alex May of The Wheel Specialist recently opened in East Grinstead West Sussex. This is the 12th branch of The Wheel Specialist to open in the UK. The company are the largest specialist alloy wheel refurbishment company in the UK and have been in existence since 1955.
As they only work with wheels they truly know their business whether its diamond cutting, wheel repair, full refurbishment of the alloy wheel or something completely different in their bespoke customisation range.
Both public and trade are welcome and for those who are unsure a team of experts is always on hand to discuss the options and finishes available in the comfortable showroom.
Alex said “many people don`t know about wheel refurbishment- they kerb their wheels, have leaking tyres or corrosion sets in and they think the only option is to spends hundreds on buying new alloys. Wheels really make a huge difference to the look of any car whether you are trying to sell it, returning it after leasing and don’t want the bill for new wheels or simply wanting your car to look good – not only can The Wheel Specialist make your wheels look great but save you money at the same time.

Heres what a recent customer wrote
Dear Alex,
My thanks for a superb job refurbishing my wheels in TWS Sport 1. I was amazed that you made a shabby set of four kerbed wrecks look like new. I was particularly impressed that refurbishment also included the centre caps. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to my friends and colleagues.
Thank you for a first class service.
Kind regards
Terry

Wheel specialist to launch new franchise in East Grinstead

Posted on January 17, 2012 by Admin| Leave a comment

The Wheel Specialist is getting ready to open its doors at the Felbridge Business Centre next week.

The Wheel Specialist, the largest nationwide wheel refurbishment specialists, are opening the new franchise in East Grinstead on 23rd January 2012.

The franchise was recently purchased by Alex May, a former Wealth Management Advisor previously based in London who underwent an extensive training programme before taking the helm at the new East Grinstead branch.

Alex said: “I’ve always really wanted to run my own business, and without any sensible ideas of my own I looked at a variety of local businesses for sale and national franchise opportunities.

“During this time I took my car to The Wheel Specialist in Fareham to have the wheels refurbished and I was very impressed by the great service and speed of the refurbishment.

“I have a strong interest in cars and a background in marketing, business and financial services, so opening my own branch of The Wheel Specialist seemed like a natural fit for my skills.”

Alex says his aims are to build a business that generates a strong reputation for producing high quality workmanship and for customers to know that their car and wheels are in safe hands.

Ginny Murphy, Managing Director for The Wheel Specialist Network, added: “We are thrilled that Alex has joined the team at The Wheel Specialist.

“We’ve built our franchises on excellent customer service and care, and Alex has exactly the same ethos. We’re looking forward to the store opening and know Alex will do a great job.”

The Wheel Specialist offers a large range of services including total refurbishment of the whole wheel, as well as smart repair, diamond cutting, rim polishing and bespoke customisation of wheels.

The firm also provide a same day service on many finishes, and all branches have secure, fully insured units with state of the-art-showrooms.
