8.Wheel Refurbishment
Wheel refurbishment is just that, it is not a new wheel - occasionally "used" alloys will never look 100% perfect after its refurbishment. We ask all customers to appreciate the work done and the high quality finish that the wheels are at a small fraction of the price that a new wheel would be.
We will always endeavour to refurbish the customer’s wheels to provide the best possible finish. After the wheels are inspected , if found to be in a “very bad condition” (in some cases this may mean the wheels are unsuitable for refurbishment) the customer will be informed of any additional charge before work commences and also of any additional time this may incur. We reserve the right to terminate work on wheels that are excessively damaged or corroded.
'Very bad' condition is specified as:
Badly corroded
Deep damage
Poor wheel casting
Damage around the fixing holes - caused by previous improper stud removal
Previous service or repairs
Cracked/split/bent
Gloss Finishes
Please be aware that certain high gloss finishes, such as ‘Power Silver’ or ‘Gloss Black’ etc, show blemishes more readily. We cannot guarantee a ‘perfect’ finish, but we do guarantee to improve the look of your wheels.
