Can anyone recommend someone who can do this in the Grantham/Melton Mowbray/Nottingham (east or south) area?

Thanks

I know others will disagree, but I've always found my local Kwikfit and their Hunter rig very reliable - and maybe a chance to get to know them?

The amount of claims they get, I'm sure it'd be a lot cheaper to repair the damn potholes

Worth doing, but don't expect them to settle quickly - it took my council about 4 years, but in end they paid up for the wheel, tyre, and suspension joint - which is also worth checking for damage.
