Are you quite sure they didn't swap a woobly flywheel into your car and it is now causing your clutch to burn? It has been known to happen

Why is Kym the spokesman for this company? Can't Owen talk directly? I'm confused.

However, top job on the repairs!

The rim sure did come up nice

The colour is not Sepang Gold like I explained to Richard we had to custom mix the colour as sepang gold was to red, so not matching at all.

As for the saying I drove the car, I just did a mesurement on how far I drove the car, came in at about 60m, I took the wheel of the rh front ( tried space saver did not fit )
removed rh rear ( tried space saver, did not fit ) space saver bolted up on rear but would not spin. Thinking I would of had the chance to come in early yesterday moning 630am and re fit the tyre before the staff got here and not having someone move the car on the space saver. When I had got to work at 630am my brother Adam ( 18 years as panel beater ) had moved the car. The car slide on the space saver for about 4-5m before adam realised what had happend. Then he went a used a wheel dolly.

I didn't even remove the tyre off the wheel so there was no need for me to drive the car to Wilko's

I charged Richard $150 to repair and custom blend and match also to matt clear the wheel which I thought was a really good deal and to help him out as the quotes he received from other shops were outrageous.

I hope this clears up a few things.

Any questions feel free to ask.

Owen.
