Dear Ginny & Neill

Here at Brown Brothers we are believers in reciprocal business, so when I needed the decidedly awful wheels of my wife’s S-Type Jag refurbishing, naturally I used The Wheel Specialist website to obtain a quote.

I’m delighted to report back how pleased I am with the entire process. Your website was clear, easy to use and inspired confidence, with the quote being returned virtually instantly.

I then received a call back from Alan at my local branch (Burton) within a short period, and he booked me in a couple of days later.

The experience at Burton was equally good, with Alan helpfully advising me on colour etc., and the whole thing was really personable. Despite me unknowingly landing the guys with one egg-shaped alloy which he sorted quickly for me, the job was completed really quickly within a time frame that suited me. Having a courtesy car available was invaluable for me – really the reason I was able to commit so quickly.

To the crunch then which I guess is the result. I have to say that I am absolutely delighted with the appearance now; the alloy was quite heavily pitted, but this is now barely noticeable; the colour also really suits the car and has transformed the appearance. I am so pleased that I decided to go for refurbishment rather than replacement now, and, crucially looking at the end result, feel really confident about the longevity of the effect.

Many thanks to all involved and I wish you all the success I believe that you deserve having tried your service for myself.

Regards

“From calling the Derby/Burton branch and speaking to Hannah her great polite customer service made me decide this was the place to go for the finish I was wanting on my wheels. I decided to visit The Wheel Specialist to see what they had to offer and Alan had a look at my Ford Focus ST170 wheels that were kerbed, corroded and in an overall poor condition in which I though were totally beyond any company refurbishing them however Alan said he could do the works on my wheels without hesitation.

After much thought and talking on the wide variety of finishes, I decided on the finish I was wanting which was a one of a kind custom finish with the help of all at The Wheel Specialist and this lead to me proudly winning an award for ‘Ford Focus Owners Club Best Presented Car of the Show Runner-Up 2009′ at Ford Focus Owners Club National Day 2009″

Rim Polish Just a quick note to say a big thank you for your excellent work and attention to detail on my BBS wheels. Not only were they perfectly refurbished to my exact specifications, but you actually managed to improve them thanks to John`s suggestion to polish the rims!

As soon as I saw the level of investment in state-of-the-art equipment and the immaculate appearance of the work space, I knew my wheels were in good hands.

You always made me feel very welcome and that nothing was too much trouble – I can be a bit of a perfectionist sometimes!

Congratulations on an excellent business…you can be sure I will recommend to all my friends and colleagues.

I have very recently had my wheels re-furbished and powder coated by your company, maybe you remember they were delivered personally by yourself…

I certainly remember that level of custom care because it is so rare these days and was very much appreciated. Im extremely pleased with the quality and workmanship.

Can’t recommend them highly enough”

I would just like to say thank you for the excellent refurbishment work carried out on my wheels, I am very happy with the finished look, also thank you for the very helpful customer service.

I would recommend you to friends and I wouldnt hesitate to have work carried out by you again.

Stephen – Nottingham

The wheels on my SLK were refurbished a couple of months ago at the new Burton site. The finish on the wheels immediately after the work totally transformed the tired and slightly scuffed look bringing them back to an ‘as new’ condition. I’ve now used the car for a couple of months through a wide range of different weathers and the finish has not diminished at all. I am extremely happy with the result and I would have no hesitation in recommending this service to anyone wanting to really improve the look of their car and I can wholehearted recommend the very helpful, friendly and professional folks at the Burton site. A great job!

Ian – Derby/Burton

Andrew – Cardiff

I had my wheels refurbed by the Nottingham Branch of The Wheel Specialist.

I must admit I was a little cautious at first because I am very fussy when it comes to my ST.

Those fears were put to one side when I was introduced to Mark and his team and I left my car in their capable hands.

I was very pleased with the way they turned out and will be recommending ‘The Wheel Specialist’ to all my friends.

Thank you Mark, James and Alex for a job well done and fantastic customer service.

Sheila Edwards – Midlands Area Rep of the ST Owners Club.

I have no hesitation in recommending the The wheel Specialist.

Dave Ford – Derby

From the moment I first made contact with your company I have received a professional service that I have been extremely happy with.
When I have been pressed for time all efforts have been made to finish the job as soon as possible. I have dealt with many companies within these types of product ranges and it is a pleasant change to get some good old fashioned customer service.

I will recommend The Wheel Specialist with confidence to anyone I know of who needs your services. Every effort was made to do a thorough job and you have done exactly what you said within the timescale.

Jeremy – Fareham

I would just like to say how impressed I was with your branch in Leeds. It’s not often you get exceptional service and a very high quality job these days, but when you do it’s worth shouting about. I recommend you to anyone out there wanting a professional service with outstanding results, you will not be disappointed!

Thank you so much for making my wheels A1 again – A Top Quality Job!

I just want to say a BIG thank you to you and all your staff for the great job you did on my wheels in the short time that you had to do them. I know it was a hard job to do…

Steve Ellis, Dream Limousine

Just a quick email to say many thanks for the excellent job you did with the 19″ alloys on my Astra VXR… From the very moment I arrived I knew the car was in excellent hands and everyone from the receptionist that greeted me upon my arrival to the guy who worked on the car and Neill himself for sorting it initially was brilliant – it’s the little things like that that go a long way. And dare I forget the final product – absolutely amazing. The finish on the wheels is now far better quality and far better looking than the original and everybody who has since seen the car thinks the wheels look blinding! I shall not hesitate to use you guys again whether it be for this car or any future cars I own!

Jon Marks – member of Astra-VXR.com

With the wheels of our Lexus being in their worst condition ever and making it extremely difficult to carry out the refurbishment, may we congratualte you and your collegues on an excellent job done under the extreme circumstances… This excellence also shows in the personal service from you all.

E Decamps – Derby

I recently had a set of BBS alloys refurbed by yourselves, and I was so amazed by the finish after what I thought were pretty damaged alloys. So a big thank you….

Kal Heer, VR6 Owners Club

Yesterday I brought my Honda Prelude to you for the wheels to be refurbished. I should like to thank you all from the “face of the company”, the very efficient helpful and ever cheerful young lady in reception, the unseen staff who carried out the truly great job on the wheels to the management who ensure the company is available to provide an excellent service to the public. A great job at a value for money price and a top level all round service. Thank you.

We have also been impressed with your ‘turnaround’ time which is of great importance in order for us to have the cars available for sale at the earliest possible opportunity.”

SportsUK “Your methods of powder coating the alloy wheel not only transforms the car’s appearance but I have every confidence in the alloys retaining, in my opinion their ‘better than new’ look. This has been confirmed to me when I have taken cars back in part-exchange at a much later date and the wheels still look perfect.”
