Hi Daniel
I highly recommend them theyve done my cambelts and sorted various other problems ,Adrians a good chap , he's always got time to talk and if you have a problem you can usually run your motor up to him in the afternoon and they'll have a ganders for you. I do use Carlton motors in Wednesbury for little things because if he cant do it he sends it straight up to WAD , In fact it was Carlton Motors that put me on to WAD .

Re: New 156 Owner In Walsall, How Good Is Wad In Wolverhampton
hi ya,
i would love to but i dont think my alfa is up to standard yet and would rather have it looking good before going, i used to be in the raf and was based there for a while,
any one know of any good wheel refurbishers in the midlands. as soon as its done i will be well up for stuff like that,

As HM says , i wouldnt worry mine covered in lovely swirl marks and its been keyed twice .
As for the wheel refurb there is a company on the Tyburn Road in Erdington called Laptab or Labtab who do powder coatings , suposed to be very good .
