"I used these guys under a different name. Sadly, the quality of workmanship fitting the wheels was appalling. None of the lifting points were used so substantial damage was done to the underside of the car - I wondered why he was in a such a hurry to leave and put it down to getting to the next job... The quality of the work on the wheels was excellent, although you'd be best off looking elsewhere for a rush job as it took weeks to pin them down to a time and they didn't show up at all the first time they were booked, so don't take time off work either. When they eventually showed up they were great. Don't imagine your old alloys will just need a lick of paint, they'll probably need powder coating. Overall cost, via a Groupon voucher, was roughly £220, which is less than one new wheel, so well worth it for the wheels, just make sue you're standing right next to them when they take them on or off as repairing the damage to the underside of the car at all four points was ~£200!"

"I wanted to give it a couple of months before leaving a review, just to make sure I'd given the wheels time for the lacquer to harden properly and to see if there were any issues - but after waiting a few months I'm happy to say that the problem that brought me to Auto Wheel Repairs has been solved. My front wheels were badly corroded and I was losing a lot of air - around 15-20PSI every week. I was on the verge of burning out my compressor given that every few days I had to top them up with air. I sent off some photos via the website, was contacted pretty quickly, and got a quote that was a fair bit less than other people were charging. AWR collected the wheels - a really friendly guy whose name I forget - and they put the car up on axle stands outside my house. I live on a one-way street but contacted the council and they didn't have a problem with me leaving it. Around a week later, I had a call to let me know the wheels were on their way back to me. You can see from the photos (even though in the 'after' one they've been rained on) that there's a huge difference. I was told that it would take a few weeks for the lacquer to harden properly, so not to use any wheel cleaners for the time being, which I was happy to do. I did have a little trouble getting one of them off a while later because of the thickness of the lacquer, and maybe a little copper slip could have helped there, but of course, that might have affected the lacquer curing. A few months down the line, I'm losing at the most a couple of PSI a month on the offside, and a few more on the nearside, but that's more than likely down to the condition of the tyres. In any case, it's much better than the 15-20PSI every week. I'm really happy, and think I got a really good job done at an excellent price. Many thanks."

"I made an online enquiry to AWR explaining my issues, which were that I had hit a nasty pothole on the A27 which had flat spotted at least one wheel on the NS of the car. Within a few minutes, Dan had called me and had looked at the damage (I had sent in a photo). He told me what AWR did, how they could help and how it all worked. I was very impressed with the speed of the response as well as how much time Dan was taking in explaining the process and answering any questions I had regarding the finished product, time frames and costs. I had a few quotes from other repair specialists, but Dan and AWR were the most forthcoming and interactive and of course offered me a fantastic price, so I arranged with Dan for the wheels to be collected. The next day, another nice chap, Rob, called me to say he was en route, to collect the wheels, he was on time, very polite and courteous too. Rob put my car on stands, removed the wheels and put them in his van, and he chatted to me about how it all works with the refurbishment and then tempted me with a colour chart, he showed me a few popular and favourite colours, and I decided to go for the Anthracite. With that he said would likely be seeing me in 3-4 days and off he went. Rob did come back, four days later, and it was quite late when he arrived, about 7:45PM, unfortunately, he had gotten held up, he did call me while en route explaining the predicament. He said he did not want to let me down as I was expecting him, and wanted my car to be back on the road. He fitted the wheels back on, and off he went about 8:45 for his dinner, a pizza I believe. My wheels are fantastic, I love the new colour. I recently had some tyres fitted at my local F1 Auto Centre, I told the fitter about the wheels being refurbed, and he said that they look to be really very well done and have a cracking good finish. Overall, I highly recommend AWR, Dan and Rob were both polite, patient, very helpful and easily contactable by both email and telephone. The work AWR have done is fantastic and my car looks like it has brand new wheels, very happy."

"Great quality wheels at a good price. Rob who returned them did a great job as well. Would have been 5 stars but there was a slight delay on the delivery."

"AWR did a beautiful job on my diamond-cut alloys! They came to pick up my car just before my lease ended and brought it back to me looking like new. As you'll see from the before and after photos, the rims went away pretty well kerbed, and came back lusciously smooth and clean. With a compound polish the bodywork looked great, and they did me an interior valet-job on top. Thanks guys! I'm docking a star only because there were a few delays in picking up and returning the car. Dan made good efforts, but it was such a busy time of year (just before new reg comes out) that they missed my deadline. Still, it looked so gorgeous when it came back I wish I could have given them 4.5 instead. I would happily use them again, but I will just act a little sooner."
