No experience of A1 per se, except their price which put me off so I went to Lepsons in Swindon (cheaper), they are both equal distance from me in Glos. I have to say 6 months on the Lepsons refurb is excellent like new, and their customer service could not be faulted, excellent outfit, v v impressed, I also took along a porsche wheel i though I had bent, they checked it out, tyre and wheel, found it had been incorrectly balanced and sorted it - the charge - Er nothing that will be free sir! How good was that :). From everything I have read on the forums (and I did a LOT of research before i took the plunge) go with either Lepson's or A1 and you will be fine. They both have multiple good reports and recommendations so it will come down to location and price. HTH's John
