Wheel Repair

[Kazzer]

It had to happen soon or later - and I did it tonight hit the kerb with front wheel - can any one recommend
somewhere in the Bristol area for it to be repaired.

Its on the rim by the tyre approx. 2.5inch - could have been worse I suppose.

Sorry to hear that, Karen. Can't help on a good place near Bristol (a Wise Bristolian Guru will doubtless be along soon) but if it's any consolation I had mine done on Monday and found a tiny nick on one on Tuesday. Will touch it up on Saturday.

I use Platinum in Swindon...in fact I collected mine back from them last month after doing the same.

Cost is £99 for a full refurbishment inc stripping and re painting.

Thanks Peter.

Sorry for a probable daft question - does the whole wheel have to be done and will they be able to match the colour?

 

[safrane]

They do the whole wheel including stripping off the old paint...they do not do smart repairs as they tend to flake off after a while. Thats also why the tyre comes off so there is no half measures.

I have another wheel to do once I find time to get a tyre as its not worth putting the old one back on.

Turn around is about 3/4 days.

I use the wheel specialist in South Wales and have never had an issue with them.....I see one has just sprung up next to where I work in Bristol so would be worth giving them a call as I would imagine they would give a good deal being new....My wheels need doing so as it is so close to my work I am going to pop in and see them....

Regards, Andy.

Andy,

Can you let me know what you think of them, as they are nearer.
And at some point I will also need to get 2 wheels done on the spider as well as the one I did last night.

thanks
Karen

Will do...I have sent them an email today to get an idea on price....I will see if they can beat the one in Cwmbran as I already have a quote from them.

I've heard good things about them too

 

[Kazzer]

I will give them a call, as new to Maserati I appreciate the recommendations from you guys.

Its just getting there at the moment not much free time - would like to get it done asap - only a small amount of damage - but annoying to look at.

Ah man, I did that within a month of buying mine too, very annoying! Wasn't too expensive to repair, I paid around 100 inc VAT.
