Lepsons....... naff
« on: December 30, 2012, 02:07:42 pm »
Well... i wont be using them again.

Every time i wash my car I notice more chips on my alloys. Just noticed 2 massive ones on the face of the wheel today (i.e. not curb damage)  :sick:

Powder coat anthracite next time....

My powder coated winter ones have been great! The idiots at ATS chipped them in a few places whilst attempting to do the tracking! Going to get my summers done soon, cant wait!

time for a new sig Rich???  :evilgrin:

Over the past 5 years or so, Lepsons have refurbished at least 6 sets of wheels for me and each time the quality has been fantastic. Have you spoken to them about the situ?

Hardly a lifetime ago then. I'd give them a call if I were you - they have an opportunity to turn a negative thread into a positive one (if they care of course...)

TBH... cant be bothered. Ill just vote with my feet and not use them again. They are a 3 hour round trip from me, and would need to source some spare wheels.. IF they even took the time to agree to redo them.

What are you washing your wheels in? brake paint cracked, alloy finish weakened  :signLOL:   JOKING

As Gareth said, best give them a call, I know A1 said if the lacquer failed on my Monza's they would re cut the face and re-lacquer for £FREE

hopefully Lepsons would offer to do the same, they are hardly bargain basement price so  should look after their customers

You know paint isn't a forcefield that stops stone chips? :grin:

The roads are full of grit and small stones these days Rich, it's bound to happen over winter.

When Lepson's tried to do my wheels earlier in the year, they managed to complete 3 wheels without any issue what so ever. The forth though was a different story, it started off with what looked like wet patches, then they tried a 'patch repair' which looked and felt poor, so back it went to come back with run's in the powder coating!

The only 'good' thing about this pi$$ poor company is Chris who deals with the customer goods in/out. He was a real pleasure to deal with and honestly wanted to get it sorted.

You pay a premium with this shoddy place for an 75-80% job, wrong and wont be going back or recommending them to anyone.
