In anticipation of new rims, had to get my arches rolled. Based on Peppernick's and Durgesh's experience, took the car to R-Tec in Hertfordshire and after losing faith in the UK tuning scene earlier this year due to the hassle on getting a set of sound-pipes installed, what a breath of fresh air. Booking the car in was a breeze, I turned up on time today and they took my car in immediately and after a little bit of faffing they worked on my car. They talked me through the whole process and the quality of the guys work is phenomenal. I met the owners Jason and Adrian, two of the nicest guys you can think of, and had the chance to tell them about EvoTechnik.

If you need any arch-rolling done, I cannot recommend these guys highly enough, you pay a little more than other places, but their work is flawless. I was worried about cracked paint, nothing of the sort.

PS. Thanks to Nick for saving me from the chavs in their saxonovacorsa's and keeping me company :)

Glad you had a good experience Fas, from my past experience the guys there don't seem to know what they are chatting about in terms of wheels/tyres and tuning......things may have changed? I'm sure they can roll arches well as they have been in the trade for quite some time (Ripspeed etc).

Adrian has mis-quoted me prices over the phone 2 times now in the past 4 years, so when I go to collect...the price suddenly increases and they swear blind that they never quoted me that price! don't think I will giving them my custom again......

My 2 pence worth, thought you should know.

I would say different people has different opinion of R-Tec. I really like to use them and have bought all my rims through them. Mods recommendation is not always spot on especially with the type of cars we mod but I'm sure they can give very sound advice on how to do up a Saxo or Ibiza. Afterall, when it comes to these things, it's first hand experience that really counts. So can't blame them.

R-Tec is extremely helpful in entertaining my requirements and they are 100% reliable. They have great contacts and can get good prices, sometimes slightly more expensive but hey, look at the set-up and overheads they have. TBH I would rather pay more to use their state of art fitting bay than use that of my local chop shop. I will always recommend them.
