In the spirit of acknowledging those who do good work in good time and at a reasonable price, I thought I should mention my good experience at Alliance Rim Repairs in Malaga to anyone in WA who needs their alloys fixed/cleaned up.
I was getting new tyres fitted to my 156 last week, only to be told that the inner-facing lip on one of my 17-in aftermarket alloys was cracked. The tyre shop guys said they had no idea if it was fixable, leaving me wondering if I would need to replace all four wheels. But one of them did suggest I try Alliance.
Alliance took the wheel in on the spot without notice and repaired the crack (cut, welded, and machined) in five days for $80. That is a bargain in my book, especially as I was expecting it would probably cost twice that and take at least two weeks.
