[QUOTE=STi Tuned]Hey are they gold or silver?

I've heard one bad story about Alliance & when I went for a quote the guy said he couldn't put the OZ stickers back on. So that didn't instil a lot of faith.

Mag doctor hu, anyone been there?[/QUOTE]
I was given mag doctor number by Osb Pk Subaru but haven''t tried him yet, going to after I get new wheels next month.

they took 3 weeks when they said 1 week, and put the tyre the wrong way around... had to bring it back to get them to turn it around ... otherwise quality of repair was good.

not bad considering how many referals they get. he must be damn busy.

not hard to muck up the direction coz the wheels r off the car when u hand it to him

methd 01-09-2006 02:59 PM

u only need to learn how to count to two to get the direction right, not hard

mag doctor doesn't do repairs, they repaint rims. they also suggested alliance when i phoned them.

STi Tuned 01-09-2006 04:34 PM

[QUOTE=agentorange] They repainted the rim in suppposed "Subaru gold" colour, and it turned out olive (ffs).

The guy that runs the place is an an ass as well, no customer service skills what so ever![/QUOTE]
That story resembles more what I heard & what I saw when I went for a quote.

If they were stock rims I don't think I'd be as stressed. But I really don't want botched OZ's without stickers.

If anyone tries the Dr let us know. Also another vote here for the sticky.

Can't give you anything other than the contact. Be keen to hear how you go though?

Yup Had Justin from Mag Doctor come around to my place and machine my front two rims on the weekend. He did a great job and he's a champ and knows wat he's doing. Id say it took him just over 1hr to machine, polish and re-paint my rims.

hey mate fix them yourself, i know it might sound dodgy but the finish is unbelievable get down to repco and get this steel putty called QUICKSTEEL ($12.50) fill chips and scratches or simply sand with fine sand paper, once painted unnoticable doin mine at the moment will post pics when done. Its too easy.
