“Terrible Aftersales Service”

Written on: 04/06/2013 by MOJO888 (1 review written)

Bought 4 wheels, no tyres for my Audi TT - Wheels arrived without much fuss but no star key to do the bolts up which was noticed after the original tyres had been put onto the new wheels. Called Rochford Tyres and they said they would get one out for the next day. Meanwhile car still on ramp and I'm not the garage's best friend. Stayed in all day today - 3 Calls to Rochford Tyres got the response that 'the item will be here today' - 4th phone call revealed that it would have been sent by... (read more)

“Excellent Customer Experience”

Written on: 08/05/2013 by Nousername74563

If you think you can learn all you need from the net then you're wrong. You just don't know what it is that you still don't know. This I found with my new Wolfrace Milanos. Thankfully, the guys at AlloyWheels.com took the time to think of the rest for me. Though delivery into the UK was delayed, he was on the phone to apologise and explain and rebook delivery to suit me. Wheels arrived on the day very well packed, complete with the appropriate spigot rings and wheel nuts for my little... (read more)

“Black alloys and tyres Fiat Scudo Camper”

Written on: 04/05/2013

Choosing wheels and tyres for my camper van conversion was easy using Rochford Tyres alloywheels web site. It was the only site worth checking in detail. The selection for my van was surprising and I ordered via phone because I needed to ask one question which turned out to be unnecessary. I ordered on Tuesday and was given a week for delivery. The wheels arrived in six days from Germany and were left with a neighbour. Bolts arrived shortly after. Excellent delivery. Wheels well packed and... (read more)

“Best price for wheels and excellent service”

Written on: 23/04/2013 by Davidscotson

I live in France and wanted a set of wheels for the winter tyres for my VW Tiguan. The price that Rochford Tyres charged with delivery cost was better than I could find anywhere in France or UK. Prior to making my order their advice was excellent and then having placed my order they arrived here without any delay and their packing was very good. I recommend Rochford Tyres without any reservation. (read more)

What a great service from Duncan and the guys at Alloywheels.com. Got excellent advice and a great price too. They arranged delivery to a tyre dealer so my tyres could be swapped to new wheels. Everything went like clockwork. The wheels look fantastic. Thoroughly recommend to all. Ben Coombes, Tunbridge Wells (read more)

The communication via email is very good. The guys come back to you with the answers quite quick. I had a few questions on different wheels as there was a certain style I requested for my T4.

“Pathetic sales and after sales”

Written on: 16/03/2013

My experience of Rochford Alloys. Went online found some great looking alloys, decided to go for the package deal with tyres fitted as well. I am no tyre expert so after choosing online I rang to speak to one of Rochford sales team, I was assured that everything was fine. Took a bit of time to get the delivery but I was told the alloys were from Germany so no problem. Took the wheels with fitted tyres down to my local tyre centre, to be fitted to the car. First big problem the guys at the... (read more)

When my new Landrover tyres would not keep their pressure I was advised by my local garage that the alloys were becoming pitted and would need refurbed or replaced. After looking around (a lot) for some good value, but not cheap quality, alloys I found the very thing at alloywheels. My mail enquiries were handled very quickly, sometimes within the hour and I duely ordered my selection. They arrived within 48hrs of placing the order and I had my tyres changed locally.

I'm entirely happy recommending these guys as the range of wheels was great, the communication with me was prompt and accurate, the price was very competitive and wheels arrived as expected ~ even though the box was rather badly handled by the courier, the wheels were still in great condition. My email enquiries and telephone calls were handled promptly and helpfully, with no sense of rush. I felt a valued customer, both for pre sales enquiries and chasing delivery details once I'd spent my... (read more)

I do not drive, I am just 'the other half' who has traipsed round various alloy wheel specialists until we found Rochford Tyres. What lovely guys to deal with, nothing was too much trouble, we had their expert advice in what would suit our vehicle and what wouldn't, although the final decision was ours, but we could see that they knew their stuff. The selection of wheels for our vehicle was good and the prices were a lot less than other specialists we'd visited, for the same make of ... (read more)

Like some of the previous posters, I too wish I had visited this review site before my purchase.

After taking the time to call them prior to ordering and go over condition, suitability for the vehicle etc. I decided to go ahead & order what was described as a set of brand new alloy wheels along with a full set of replacement bolts and a set of...

I ordered 4 wheels and tyres for my s-type jag. Looked great value. I was a bit disapointed that they took longer to arrive than expected but my aspirations may have been too high to be fair. Anyhow, they arrived on last day of holiday - well packaged and as described. However, they didn't fit as they fouled the calliper. I posted an email (on their phone line if you go through all the options to 'technical query' they just give you an email address) but this was never responded to. So I... (read more)

Ordered a set of wheels (tires and rims) for approx 1000 GBP.

After the order had been processed, I was asked by e-mail to send in a copy of my ID and a bank statement. This was not stated anywhere on the site.
Very suspicious.
The money was already reserved on my account.

I sent in a pic of my drivers licence and got a confirmation that the transaction could proceed.
6 days later, I asked for an update on the delivery. The answer was that they still were awaiting 2 forms of ID.......... (read more)

I can honestly say I wish I had never made contact with this company and I wish I had seen this review board earlier! I have never been spoken to so rudely by somebody who proclaims to be a Sales Manager, nor dealt with so many incompetent staff within the same company. They took my money for goods they didn't have (and will never have) in stock, after saying they did and then failed to contact me to let me know.

Took 3 weeks of trying to get any form of response as to why my parts haven't arrived (despite initially being told twice that they had been sent out) but gave up as they just ignored my requests.
