Email - Mike K., Kincardine - Jaguar. Please pass on my sincere thanks to Craig for doing a super job on my alloy earlier today. I am really pleased with the result and delighted that the offending 'scrape' is no longer spoiling the appearance of my 'pride and joy'. I have already started sharing my satisfaction with like minded car enthusiasts and hope that I can maybe drum up some trade!"
Email - Alan & Wendy Brown, Montrose - Vauxhall Insignia - Wheel refurbishment - "Just to say thanks to you guys for doing a sterling job on our Insignia this afternoon - you'd never know the scrape was even there! The next time we (my wife) scuffs the alloy we'll be sure to get you guys back."
Facebook - Andy Dear, Menstrie - MG ZT-T - Locking wheel nut removal - "Craig is a miracle worker! I had been trying for two weeks to find someone who could free the seized locking wheel nuts on my MG ZT-T. Many tried and failed but Craig managed it. I am having him over refurbish my alloys next week. Very pleased."
Here's a selection from the feedback received through 2011
Email - Euan McLachlan, Kirkcaldy - Skoda Fabia Mark 2 VRS - Enquired about refurbishing a diamond cut wheel... "Thanks for all your hard work and effort over the last week. You've been exceptionally helpful and I'm very, very grateful! Should I come across anybody looking for a refurb or repair on their wheels, I will definitely recommend your company based on the service and advice you've given myself."
Email - Craig Williamson, Perth - Mazda MX5 - wheels refurbished... "I would just like to thank you again for the fantastic job that Craig carried out on my alloy wheels, still cant believe how great they look. I have random people asking where I had them done, I have recommended you to all friends, family, work mates and these random people LOL. I wish you all the luck in the future with your company and hope Craig has recovered after the long hours spent working his magic with my wheels. Thanks again. Craig Williamson (With an awesome looking Mazda!!)"
Facebook – Ms Devlin, Crieff – Abarth - buckled wheels straightened…“May I say what a super job you did on the Abarth. My teeth do not chatter now..”
Email - Mrs Lee, Balquhidder - Land Cruiser Colorado - wheels refurbished… “My four wheel drive had looked horrendous for months as the alloys were so corroded, it ruined the look of the whole car. I mentioned it to a friend who told me about Craig. I never realised you could repair alloys and certainly not so they looked like brand new again. Craig is clearly passionate about what he does and I was delighted by the result. My only regret was not finding out about him sooner. The next time my alloys are looking unslightly I will be straight on the phone to Smart Alloy Mid Scotland, excellent service and value for money.”
Facebook – Shona Douglas commented on the Ferrari before/after photo album…"Hey Craig. John knows this Ferrari owner. Good repair job!!!

In early 2011 we sent a survey out to some customers from Jan/Feb & asked them pick from 4 options (failed to meet, met, exceeded, other) how the results of the work we carried out had compared to their expectations. We also asked for comments on our overall customer service plus to add any other comments they wished. Here’s a selection from the responses we received…
Geoff Hall – Ford Focus - buckle repair plus refurbishment (also arranged new tyre supply & fit)
'exceeded expectations' - "Excellent service, kept up to date at all times. Polite, knowledgeable and went out of his way to help (on a Sunday!). Very friendly. Extremely satisfied. Have spoken highly to others about the service and quality of Smart Alloy. Would definitely use again. Thank you so much!"
Lisa Clark – Seat Leon Cupra - single wheel refurbishment
'exceeded expectations' - "Very prompt response. Exceeded all expectations & have already recommended to others. Thanks.."
Ms Michie, Alyth - Mini - buckle repair
'exceeded expectations' - "What I expected was for the business to arrive late as usual companies do. However, they arrived 10minutes early – I thought this was excellent as I didn’t have to wait around and could get on with my day. I was impressed with how quickly the business got back to me with a quote for my wheel. Phoning the business was not intimidating as I was met by a very friendly and helpful spokesperson. Overall an excellent service and would recommend to a friend."
Mr Tinto, Aberfeldy - Rover 75 - single buckle repair
'exceeded expectations' - "Never thought such a repair was possible. Did realise alloy was difficult to work with and your engineer proved a remarkable chap. A first class excellent service which I intend to recommend to all my friends. Your engineer was a joy to do business with and very knowledgeable in his trade. This repair was cheaper than the purchase of a second hand alloy which may have proved a problem and time wasted exercise. Thank you again for all your assistance."
Mr Sinclair, Blackford - Mazda - double buckle repair
'exceeded expectations' - "As the wheel was buckled to both sides, I really didn't hold out much hope for success. Was pleased with result at handover, then even more so when after later replacing all 4 tyres I found out this repaired wheel was the only one that didn't need rebalanced! Craig went the extra distance to get this work completed that same day - really appreciated it! I have his number...."
Anon* - Audi A6 - full refurbishment of all 4 wheels
'exceeded expectations' - "Very friendly and professional from the word go. Will definitely recommend Smart Alloy to my friends."
Mr Mollison, Dundee - Renault Megane - single buckle repair
'exceeded expectations' - "Very good communication - was kept informed during the period prior, during and after repair. Customer service - this was achieved to a high standard. Would recommend this service to others."
