St.Albans business duo buys into nationwide franchise bringing a business like no other to the area

17 July 2014

Highly successful husband and wife team John and Amanda Tice have recently brought a completely unique franchise in St.Albans; The Wheel Specialist. The business provides a top quality alloy wheel refurbishment and customisation service, unique to any other in the area. Transforming worn, corroded or damaged alloys giving them a just left the showroom finish, with their Total whole wheel refurbishment.

John, a keen car enthusiast, searched everywhere locally for an alloy wheel refurbishment service for his Porsche. Unsuccessful in finding somewhere close to home that had the quality service he wanted, he broadened his search and travelled all the way to Southampton to have his wheels refurbished by the branch there. He was so impressed with the service he received he decided to buy the business .  

A clear niche market in the local area, the Tice’s are confident this is a service St.Albans will love. A common misconception when you scuff your alloy wheels is that you have to replace them. Wrong; you will now be able to receive a superior service, renovating your tired worn alloys, making them look better than new and all for a fraction of the price of replacement wheels.

Fortunately they understand it can be a major inconvenience to be without your car, therefore they will provide you with a same day service, drop your car in in the morning and have it back the same day. Whether you are in need of a repair, a manufacturer match or you’d like a completely unique bespoke look, they’re your guys.
