Leeds car repair firm expands with new seven figure premises and help from Olympic stars

Leeds car repair firm WheelRepairs.co.uk has made a seven figure move into new premises at Copley Hill Trading Estate in Whitehall Road, Leeds to cope with expansion.

The company has taken 7,500 sqft of industrial accommodation on a five-year lease with landlords Towngate.

Olympic heroes Alistair and Jonathan Brownlee have lent their support to rapidly-expanding Leeds car repair company WheelRepairs.co.uk.

The Brownlee Brothers from Bramhope are driving cars provided by Wheel Repairs.co.uk, after WheelRepairs.co.uk’s owner and managing director Dan Besau heard the brothers needed sponsored vehicles.

WheelRepairs.co.uk, who provide alloy wheel repairs to vehicles, employ 19 staff and are looking to expand.

Dan Besau commented: “This is a new venture for us as we undertake solely bespoke high-end alloy wheel repairs. We have invested in new CNC lathes and equipment to carry out the diamond cut repairs to an extremely high standard and we are the only combined CNC Lathe and powder coating facility of this type in Yorkshire promoting an environmentally friendly Paint-stripping method”.

Mr Besau, who is originally from Pickering, North Yorkshire, founded DentRepairs.co.uk, a mobile car repair company in 1995. DentRepairs.co.uk is now sharing the same industrial unit at Copley Hill as its sister company WheelRepairs.co.uk

“We have gone from strength to strength,” he explained. “The mobile business has proved popular and successful and, when I spotted a gap in the market for high-end alloy wheel repairs, I had the confidence to go for it”

“We have a formidable client list, including many of the quality Yorkshire dealerships such as Bentley Leeds; BMW Leeds, Harrogate, York and Bradford; Mercedes Leeds, Bradford,

Joe Tordoff of leading Yorkshire dealership JCT600 commented: “DentRepairs and Wheelrepairs always provide a reliable service at a fair price and have never let us down.”
