terms and conditions

Please read this page before booking us to work on your car

our advice - to get the best out of our service

  • Make sure the rims are made up with the tyres fitted, and are ready to be put on the car - guessing how much clearance you will need is impossible

  • Clean the arch lips out, you don't want any mud to get trapped in there

  • Set your ride height and have your suspension alignment done before the rolling, its makes a big difference to where the wheels sit in the arches

  • You need to be present to discuss exactly what you want

the dangers - be warned. Please take this seriously. ALL WORK IS AT YOUR RISK

  • Please be aware any work is at your risk i.e. if the job doesn't go to plan we won't pay for any repairs to your car. With all work there is a danger of such damage. You will be asked to sign a disclaimer before work starts.

  • There is a lot of information on what you might expect on this website, read it well. Be sure to be clear what you want and don't want, with your agent, before the job starts. We are not responsible if you don't get what you want because you didn't communicate it, or you didn't listen to the warnings given by the agent.

  • We can advise on any likely problems on inspecting the car, but in the end its down to you, its your call. We can not account for unseen problems - filler, repaired damage, rust in the seams, poor quality paint job, etc.

  • If the bodywork on your car is original and you are looking for a lip roll this carries the smallest risk.

  • Possible problems - Badly applied paint can come off, stress cracks can appear in the paint on the rolled edge, sometimes its unavoidable, however they can be covered with some touch up lacquer. Small dents or creases above the arch are weak points and could and become larger, even dents that have been massaged out can be a problem. Rusty arches can and will fall apart. Accident damage/filler are a problem and will almost certainly require subsequent bodywork. Front arches tend to pull out slightly when being rolled your agent can advise on this for your car.

  • Its not all doom and gloom, the vast majority of clients are happy with the work carried out, and its at a fraction of the cost of getting a body shop to cut/grind/beat the arches and then respray half the car.

we can't………

  • Roll plastic or fibreglass, so if you have a car with wings or a bodykit made of plastic or fibreglass we can't help you.

  • Strip off and refit bodykit, that's down to you.

  • Flare an arch that's been DIY rolled back - you need a smooth surface for flaring and no sealer stuck behind the rolled lip, so if you're thinking about knocking your own arch back and may be getting us in later, please think again.
