Data harvesting
Went to get an “instant quote” and they want your address and phone number. You don’t need that info to provide a quote. Clearly just harvesting data for marketing.

Top quality, top service
The communications leading up to my appointment were great. Upon arrival and pickup the reception admin staff were superb - polite, professional, knew their stuff. When I saw my car I was literally bowled over backwards by the quality of the workmanship - outstanding. Thank you to all at Wheel Specialists at Fareham!

Fantastic service and results
I eventually took the plunge and decided to refurb the tired looking diamond cut wheels on my BMW X5. What a difference.
The experience was very easy from start to finish and took two days to complete. Leith stayed in regular contact prior to and post refurb, taking the time to explain what was required.as well as any additional necessary outlays. The final price was very competitive.
Suffice to say, I'm delighted with the end result. Highly recommend The Wheel Specialist.

Sheer incompetence (Edinburgh)
Unfortunately, I can’t comment on the quality of their workmanship, but I can speak to their customer service. I booked my wheels in for a full refurbishment using their online system after receiving a quote. Despite their price being significantly higher than other companies I’d spoken to, I was swayed by their slick website and the convenience of the booking process.
I scheduled the work for Friday 6th March and even arranged to take the day off work. Then today, I received a call telling me that—despite using their own online booking system—they couldn’t honour the appointment because the entire team would be away at an annual convention. In other words, there would be no one available to do the job. This struck me as sheer incompetence. Why offer an online booking system if you can’t keep it aligned with something as predictable as an annual event?
I explained that this was inconvenient, given I’d already arranged time off, but the best they could offer was alternative dates. No apology, no goodwill gesture, nothing to acknowledge the inconvenience.
In the end, I chose to go with another local company—saving myself a fair bit of money and avoiding further hassle. There are better, cheaper alternatives nearby that won’t mess you around.

Hi Paul,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re very sorry for the inconvenience caused by your appointment being cancelled after you had booked through our online system.
Our availability should always accurately reflect when the branch is open and able to carry out work. We fully understand how frustrating this must have been, particularly after arranging time off, and we apologise that this was not handled as well as it should have been.
Your comments have been noted and we are reviewing the booking process to ensure planned closures are clearly reflected going forward.
We appreciate you raising this with us and are sorry we did not have the opportunity to complete the work for you.
Kind regards,
The Wheel Specialist
Well worth five stars!
Outstanding service! Knowledgeable personable, professional and friendly when I dropped my wheel off! Ended up having the work completed within 24 hours and got a call back then next day to collect which was totally un expected from me and well above and beyond! Prices were fair, a business well worth a 5 start review if there ever was one! Would highly recommend!

The wheels look great but
Cannot fault the work, the wheels look great. I had two new tyres fitted at the same time and was verbally quoted the price for these. I must take some blame but I only became aware of the addtional cost of fitting/balance, that appeared on the invoice. I think a customer should be told of this prior to making a decision to have the tyres changed.

Hi Kenneth,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re really pleased to hear you’re happy with the refurbishment and that the wheels look great.
We’re sorry that the fitting and balancing costs were not made clear to you beforehand. All charges should be clearly explained before work goes ahead so customers can make a fully informed decision, and we apologise if that wasn’t your experience on this occasion. We will raise this with the branch to ensure pricing is always communicated as clearly as possible.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your comments.

21” diamond cut full refurb.
Pleasure to deal with and my wheels look as good as new. They had an issue with their lathe but I was kept up to date with when they’d be ready. Wish more businesses had this customer focussed attitude. No hesitation recommending them at all and will be using them again.
Well done and thank you

I went to the Inverness branch. “Does what it says on the tin”. My four steel wheels blasted, baked and powder coated for £408. That’s a good deal. Service was prompt and efficient and the folks were polite and helpful. Thanks Jody
