What Is The Wheel Specialist?

A network of specialists providing an outstanding wheel refurbishment and customisation service, from bespoke units, based on devoted customer service.

Led by a developed, experienced franchise support team who have the individual’s success as their main focus.



What Makes Us Who We Are Today?

The Wheel Specialist™ business started life under the company name of Lap-Tab Ltd. which has been established since 1955. The company has a long standing reputation for its service,

quality, and fast turnaround times.

It’s a family business now wholly owned by husband and wife team Neill and Ginny Murphy QFP. In 2005 Neill and Ginny set up a division within the company, called The Wheel Specialist, one of the fi rst companies of its kind in this country, after identifying a growing market for alloy wheel refurbishment.

There was just so much demand that needed to be met - franchising was the only option.

Over the past 30+ years The Wheel Specialist has been catering to a market growing beyond all expectation. The demand for our own unique brand of alloy wheel refurbishment is growing year on year

and it is for that very reason why The Wheel Specialist franchised and now needs franchisees to service this enormous customer base.

The Wheel Specialist network consists of both franchised operations as well as wholly owned branches.

We know the franchise model is very successful because we use it ourselves. The Wheel Specialist was a very successful business before the franchise opportunity was developed.

This is not a business that has been set up with no proven track record or experience of the business model, its works - we have used it for 30+ years.


Our Service to the Customer

In short our business philosophy is to provide customers with an outstanding service with exceptional customer focus at a price that presents unbeatable value to all. This is our own

unique brand of alloy wheel refurbishment, one which is leading and driving the market forward, one which you can be part of.

Stripped down we offer superior alloy wheel refurbishment using bespoke systems that

produce simply incomparable results. Choice is an important reason why customers return time and time again, that is why we offer such an extensive range of colour and fi nishes to meet the customers every requirement. Whether manufacturers matches, standard fi nishes, bespoke designs or diamond cutting we can do it all, customer is king and we cater to that.

This is not a temporary cosmetic repair, this is total alloy wheel refurbishment.

We do not just repair the damaged area we refurbish the whole wheel. Quality is everything to us and our customers, that is why we are used by the trade and public alike.

What Our Current Franchisees Have to Say About Us...

One of the main reasons I chose The Wheel Specialist, apart from the obvious appeal of the growing market and that The Wheel Specialist

is the only specialist wheel refurbishment company based from a static unit was the size of the exclusive territory available. With many franchise opportunities I looked into you can be

made to share a territory with other franchisees mind you they don`t advertise that fact in the literature. With The Wheel Specialist opportunity I get a vast exclusive territory that makes

my business have huge potential for true growth. The last thing I wanted was to berestricted by the size of the territory.

The Wheel Specialist is a franchise, but above all it is my business that follows a number of fundamental principles

that I believe are the cornerstones of a success.

I felt The Wheel Specialist offered the right thing for me, the motor trade and cars in general always

held a large interest for me, so something car related as a business venture was a no brainer.
