I have bought some tyres and i need to get them fitted how much did you pay? I rang 2 places and they varied from £10-£18 which i though was reasonable enough. Can anyone reccommend someone in Bristol.

Cheers

 

I pay £5 but Liverpool is a bit far.

They can be removed for free up here though

 

£5 per tyre.

 

I've started to notice a few places now offering free fitting round here.. Obviously when buying there tyres.

 

I have found a place that will fit my tyres for £7.50 a tyre

One place told me to £uck off lol

Free got a tyre machine in work

 

Free. My brother runs a garage.

 

£5 if im not buying from them

 

A garage tried to charge me £40 + VAT to fit a pair of 195/50/15 to my Fiesta.

I nearly fainted lol

 

Bugger all, my mate does it.

 

My local garage charges £1 per inch wheel size. However my shitty old fords keep them busy enough so they do my tyres for free and just say they will fooking get me next tiime, and they normally do

 

i bought a set of yoko paradas off ebay last year, £200 for the set of tyres.

local place opposite work said £10 a wheel to fit and balance, i took the car in and had all 4 done, and said as your at it, fit the best tyre of the pirellis to the spare, which was in the boot so they didnt even have to take it off.

so i og to collect the car and the garage owner said they decided not to charge £10 a tyre and charged and hour labour, and £5 a tyre balancing... plus the VAT!

cost me £85 instead of the £50 i was expecting, yet had no phonecall to say they were going to charge me that!

as id have told them to fuck off as another garage said £12 a tre so i would have taken it there!

most places dont like fitting tyres if you dont buy them from the garage. a few years back bathwick tyres in chippenham wanted £5 a tyre to fit and balance if not bought from them....

they got told!!

 

Just cost me £20 to get the tyres took off my pro race wheels and fitted to the rl7s and balanced.

 

Local place I use charge £7.50 a wheel.

 

i was fleeced!

cunts

 

I've used Britannia Tyres in Fishponds, always been good on tyre fitting and probably the cheapest for tyres as well.

 

try some of the "big names"

you may be suprised

 

In southall if u use the people who have big levers and hammers they charge 5 quid a tyre, if they got the machine it's 10. Things are a lot more expensive in London.

 

We charge a tenner a tyre

 

And even more in Aberdeen.

Tried getting 2 tyres for my van,just 14" van tyres so I'm thinking about £50-55 each all in,get quoted £80,feel happy then he says that's each



Plus fitting




Plus disposal




Plus vat!!!!

Worked out over a ton a tyre,fucking madness.
Drove about everywhere,all £80 plus the extras,not even decent tyres.
I bought 2 from the scrappy than that were mint,fuck me trying to get them fitted!!!!
Again,found 2 places one wanted £15 per tyre & vat/disposal/balancing/valves etc which worked out at £50 for two!!!!
Eventually found a place down the road for £25 for the pair fitted but what an attitude on the guy,he tried telling me the tyres weren't acceptable as they were not the correct 185/90/14's despite me pointing out that the two reads weren't that profile either plus they were the same on the same axle which is fine.
Kept me there an hour trying to force me to put new on until I basically said "put the old tyres back on the rim then or I go elsewhere I'm NOT putting £200's worth of tyres on an £800 van!!!".
He did all this "don't say where you had them fitted" and "the police will give you 6 points for this" type of scaremongering crap which I played along with then fucked off,their 2 michelins and I've been back and forth to Wales twice with them with no issues or pressure loss.

Back home I use Tony's tyres up in llansamlet or Britton ferry.
Superb prices and service,part worns,specialist and anything you like for really cheap prices.
They take good care of your wheels as well which is nice.
Can't recommend them high enough.

 

A&S tyres,that's their name!!!
Just remembered.

 

Cheers for the replies chaps

 

I've never been charged to have a new tyre fitted but the general cost around here to have a tyre taken from one set of wheels and fitted to another set is £40 all in

 

I did a search for tyre fitters through mytyres.co.uk and found a really cheap back street place, £5 a tyre and they will fit anything and supply tyres, cheaper than the kwick fit etc

 

I dont pay nothing cause my mate is a tyre fitter.

 

Got them done yesterday £10 each. I'm quite happy with that.

 

bit steep £10 but as long as your happy

 

Had 2l tyres removed from my steel wheels for my spit to build my car, said to keep the tyre and he disposed the crap one for nothing.

 

A bit steep!?!?! roflol

I wouldn't get out of bed for £40 let alone fit some tyres for someone for that!

 

I got five cheap new tyers for my combi last year, £10 each. When they wanted £12 each to change them,,,, sod that.. I did them myself it is easy to do, but the wheels still have to be balanced after. Takes about ten minute each tyre the trick is in breaking the seal. to do this I used a spade and a long scafold bar. and there is a bin down our local rubish site for the old tyres to go in . Cheers Pete

 

i wouldnt pay any one 40quid to change tyres my brother has a garage so do them me self
