   Had a search but very little come up about these on here.
   
   They are local to me so perfect to use but has anyone had any dealings with them?
   
   I know I can use Im axle but like I said these are local so easy to sort out any problems

   There was an article someone posted a link to of them being complete cowboys, I'll try and find it. IMO I wouldn't bother with them just in case, IM has a good reputation.

   AVOID! I posted a thread like this about 3 weeks ago now and I got nothing but negative comments about them so I emailed Axles Direct to explain due to a bad reputation I'll be sticking with IMAxles and I then received emails with abuse, apparently I was a timewaster, they won't be losing sleep over a few hundred quid and I should have bought a better car anyway...very rude and unproffessional, pay the extra £25 or whatever it is and go IMAxles!!

   That's bloody ridiculous, company sounds like its run by pikeys. Should have bought a better car?! Their business is only able to succeed because of people paying to keep these cars on the road!

   Them comments are from 2011 I got an axle for my vts and it was spot on and they gave me discount for additional axles I had spare. I thought there service was excellent and kept in contact with me throughout the process.

   Timewasters.
   
   IMaxle are top notch, i had my rear axle reconditioned last year and they were perfect throughout. Even afterwards when i reported a strange noise they emailed me a step by step guide of what to check. Job sorted.
   
   I only dealt with Martin, but he was fantastic. Worth the money and the 1 year warrenty.

    Fair enough, but reputation is everything. Thiers is shit to be fair.
