How much do you normally pay for tyre fitting?

i got 2 front tyres for my vectra saturday - 215/50/17. The place I got it from does the tyre's for the hertz hire car place across the road and they changed nearly the whole fleet at the same time so I got two almost new tyres for 80 fiitted and balanced

 

Tyre Guy I used to work for used to charge 8 a tyre for Fitting... Valves are pence as are weights... Disposal costs them no more than a 1 a pop and thats steep...

 

Disposal costs bugger all as most give em to farmers to keep the tarp on their sillage.

 

Kwik Fit charge me 10 per tyre. Its on the computer so should be a standard rate.

 

Kwik fit won't touch other people's tyres I've found...

 

Henley do, and they have a section on the computer to pay for it. Prints out as "fit customer supplied tyres"

 

Thanks - will pester the gits a bit harder in future!

 

Thats why we used to shift 6/7000+ a week out of Manchester and surrounding areas and charge for the priveledge?......

Even farmers have moved on in many cases... EA are clamping down on farmers now aswell.

Quite interesting reading the various costs related to tyres...

Punctures around Bolton used to be 5... whilst at the same time we used to charge 10 whch was cheap for the area...

 

how can they charge more for when you take in loose wheels and tyres than when you just drive the car in. surely it's 3 times are much work to jack up the car and remove the wheels and tyres?

 

It's in the game.

 

It might be a Henley thing though, are they a national chain or franchised?

 

A chain I think.

 

one of my local places was a bit funny with my asking for them to put on the tyres onto the wheels i had, said they wouldn't do it in case had a crash and the blame came back to them.

 

At which point I get bolshy and tell 'em to f*ck off and stop insulting my intelligence.

It's pure commercialism, end of.

 

Need to find somewhere to fit my tyres, 10 a corner will be a treat meaning I can get my Falkens on the mk4 at 50 a corner

 

I think it was 25 for 4 fitted at my Kwik Fit last time I went - now I go to a place in the docks where the trucks go, that do them for buttons...

 

get mine done by a mate at local garage for free,including balancing.

 

kwik fit

last and only time I went there they couldn't fit jacks under my car or get it on the ramp for some strange reason so lifted it up by the wing.........

 

I always go in with wheel/tyres seperate from the car, so never seen that issue.

 

Got two tyres removed and 4 tyres fitted, balanced etc. for 20 by a local company that goes round to my dads work every couple of weeks, thought that was pretty good, considering the place i normally use charges 5 to remove and dispose of a tyre!
