Tyre Fitting!!!!!!

[kaimcg]

Got my 4 x 205/45/16's off camskill, pretty happy with the price i paid.

Called up garages around my area...

the prices for fitting are £45+

one place even quoted me £76.50 for 2!

Where are they plucking these figures from ?

So for now im sulking, because i can only just afford the tyres but cant get them f**king fitted!!

Rolling around on 4 barely legals!

If anyone can fit, balance etc for me id be greatful

or

could just point me in the direction of somewhere cheaper to get it done!

Im in High Wycombe, Bucks

Cheers

Try http://www.wheels-inmotion.co.uk/ in Chesham

 

[kaimcg]

£65
thanks though

 

[Nick_P]

Try a small local garage

 

[kaimcg]

Il keep trying! but thats where i got my £76.50 for 2 from!
Kwik fit want the same amount for 4 and National Tyres wont do it at all because its 'against company policy'!!!!!!

 

[Firas]

national tyres done mines for £30 for all 4 including balancing and tracking

 

[kaimcg]

What a farse! How irritating

 

[iimushroomzii]

Try some local places, not the big companies.

 

[Beef-Mc]

National, Budget tyres etc, roll up, ask them to fit them for you, if they ain't busy should get it done for £20.

It's a pain, one place quoted me 18.50 a wheel. 10 quid a corner was best I found that was convenient. Small independents should sort you out, or even a part worn place if any still exist any more. Someone built houses where my local guy used to be.

Try the search on mytyres, not definitive but a start.

Edit: Link seems to take you to the German website, top left corner there is a 'fitting stations' link from the mytyres.co.uk website.

 

[kaimcg]

Looks like il just have to keep searching around! Even though I can speak german that sites not much help

10 quid a corner was best I found that was convenient.

[MRBILLYUK]

£45 and £76 for fitting your tyres robbing cnuts . I get mine fitted at a local independant tyre place for £5 a corner :approve:

 

[clio_rob]

yep its an open offer

ooo!! for all four? balancing and all?

yep all 4 balancing and disposal of your old ones

 

[Steve]

Pity you don't live up here, £20 for 4 fitted & balanced

 

[kaimcg]

Well ives just been robbed £40, couldnt really wait as the front 2 were bald, rear left had a bulge in the tyre wall and rear right was the spare which was bald AND 2inches smaller than the rest of the wheels lol.

Next time though Rob

 

[clio_rob]

no probs, the offer is there for anyone with a clio unless asked nicely

 

[BIFCAIDS]

im susprised national didnt do a "back pocket" job

 

[Darmon]

i'm having my tyres fitted and balanced today for £20 at Selecta Tyre.

I'm not bothering with tracking there, its going into my mate at Audi for that

 

[andye30m3]

I don't think £40 too bad, at the end of the day they have overheads such as the building, staff, old tyre disposal, new valves etc.

People supplying there own tyres means there's no proffit in the tyre supply so they need to make there money somewhere, how long did it take them? and hour or so?.

 

[Owen]

Local place to me charged £45 just to fit, valve and balance 4 tyres onto alloys (which didn't have tyres on them to begin with). Was surprised that it cost that much tbh, think they charged a surcharge because they didn't supply the tyres.

[clio_rob]
