Smile Alloy Wheel Repairs - Edinburgh

Just wondering if anyone knows a good place around Edinburgh to get my alloys repaired? And if so, associated costs?

Cheers.

Yup, thats the boy I use, they are very good. When you drive in the gates its a sharp left or you will end up with students tampering with your brief.

Cool, cheers folks. So is it in the actual grounds of the college then?

Not quite, yes through the gates but a sharp left takes you into a little industrial estate in old buildings, which obviously used to belong to the college but not any more. The enterance is off the New Battle road. I think the company is called Premier Wheels or something similar. They are good though

Premier Industrual Paintworks is the name. I think the main chap is called Alan.

Paul

P.S. Forgot to say that he did a fantastic job of the alloys on my Honda for £30 a corner. Only thing he couldn't do was balance the wheels.

Went to visit them on Sat & was shown some of the work they have done on wheels, very impressed indeed. Gonna drop them off this week & get them back a couple of days later. £35 a wheel if I get somone to take the tyres off for me.

Cheers for the advice folks, much appreciated!

Doug
