judiciousjoe Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Hi all, I am looking for a good mobile mechanic in the Surrey area (I live in Chessington). Basically I need my Z jacked up, alloys removed, and the car put on axle stands. The car is extremely low so I'm guessing some normal jacks would be an issue with clearance? Does anyone know a mobile mechanic or somebody who could help me jack the car up (I have been quoted £40-£60 by most companies). I am taking my GT4 alloys to Lepsons in Kent to change them from Shadow Chrome to Gloss Black. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers Joe Quote
Grundy Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Go to Halfrauds buy a trolley jack (Or just use the one in the boot of your car) Buy some Axle stands. Then get some blocks of wood, drive up onto them, and jack the car up. Either way you're going to need your own Axle Stands. Quote

SteveM Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) out of interest why are you taking the wheels to Lepsons in Kent when there are other places a lot closer that will do the job... its not like gloss black is a complicated finish to achieve place local to me (reigate area) did my wheels and did an excelent job and are a good deal cheaper than Lepsons Edited March 5, 2014 by SteveM Quote
AliveBoy Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Drop me a pm, I can lend you 4 wheels for a few days, they won't have road legal tyres on, but you can borrow my trolley jack and swap them all over to save the hassle. 1 Quote
