Small review of my experience with brakecaliperrefurbs.co.uk.

After a review of some of their work online, I decided to approach the company for a full strip and rebuild. This was a fairly costly exercise, £485 for all four in standard AP colours. I had the calipers couriered to Jonny on the 7th of April. With a 4week turnaround indicated. The calipers were returned to me on the 22nd of May with the incorrect caliper carrier. (Mine with Scott SG Motorsport and his with me!) Not ideal!

The job itself was okay, finish of the caliper fine but the rears were assembled incorrectly, requiring a reassemble! A full check of the fronts was carried out for confidence.

I eventually got in touch was Scott who was on vacation and he kindly exchanged the caliper carrier with me on a next day delivery. (Top man) problem was he was at the IOM TT and wasn't back until the 9th of June.

All in all, a lot of false promises, delays, communication breakdowns and it wasn't a cheap service!

I wouldn't use Jonny again, and I wouldn't recommend his work on this forum. Sadly so, as I know a number of other members have used his company. I hope you had a better customer service experience.

Happy to take any questions.

P.s, I did eventually get £11 back from Jonny after x4 emails for the postage charge I incurred in exchanging the caliper carrier with Scott.

Shame, they none of these refurb places are getting a good rep.

Seems you are best buying the kit yourself
Even that can be a nightmare, 3 months waiting for seals from AP as the man who packed them in the plastic bubbles was off sick!
 
I used BrakeCaliperRefurbs and am very happy with the results. I got Scott @SG to take off the calipers and to also put them back on after the refurb.

I would agree with Ali, that the communication and overall service is pretty poor.
