How Much To Change A Tyre?

[aido]

I'm just ringing round some of the local places to get the tyres moved from the alloys I've got over onto the ones that came last week, and just been quoted £26.50 + VAT per wheel!

That's for fitting, valves and balancing - does that sound about right or are they trying to pull my pants down as I only paid £280 elsewhere last time including 4 new tyres!!!

[aido]

Just rung another one and they're £12.95 per wheel which is a bit better :D

[dlayen]

i got some done for about £10 per wheel 26.50 sounds a bit steep

[reganlives]

Thats well steep I think mate but I have noticed places are getting more expensive when it comes to such things as tyre replacement/balancing etc. I know a nice little place in longsight that does puncture repair for a fiver tho and think everything else is cheap as well ;)

Where abouts are u located mate?

[Anuj]

we need to get 1 fitted soon, £7 they sed

[aztecbandit1]

Mate there taking the capital P with that price :o I usually pay around £10 a wheel and thats to remove, replace with new valve and balance? and some places charge £8 upwards around here, so £26 is way too much for a swap over

[aaronabbott]

most places i know charge a tenner

[aido]

Just tried another one and they've said £70 all in, just realised it's another 12 quid on top of that 12.95 so 16 quid a go.

Just going to try some a bit further away, I might end up going to my usual place 40 miles away at this rate :D

[aido]

£40.96 best so far - getting there now :D

Going there to get them done tomorrow!

[aido]

Just thought as well the most expensive of that lot is the same place that charged me £15 for 30 mins work when they put the Hiper on my exhaust years ago - times change I guess!

[Parthiban]

£10 a wheel sounds about right

[aztecbandit1]

£40.96 best so far - getting there now :D

Going there to get them done tomorrow!

Are they charging you for the disposal of the old tyres mate?

Are they charging you for the disposal of the old tyres mate?

Nope, keeping them for you mate!

Sound mate :D was going to say they usually charge you for it and wouldnt be needed

Thanks dude :D

[aido]

Aye amazed at how random the prices are though, some were proper picking figures out the air!

[Anees]

Thats a joke!

I pay £5 a corner. :D

[aztecbandit1]

Thats a joke!

I pay £5 a corner. :D

Are you sure you dont own/run your own garage mate

There is a place round here that charges £6 a wheel but i would take my pushbike to them

[aido]

Thats a joke!

I pay £5 a corner. :D

I pay something like that where I normally go but it's that far away at the moment the petrol outweighs what I'd be saving

[swfcdan]

last time i did it i used the Kwik fit at the bottom of eccy rd. they charged me £10 per corner

[Gord]

I pay 10 pounds all in, Simon's brother works at the fast fit place in Glossop :D

Ah I know where you mean, Steve was shouting something out the window when we'd gone down to see that dolly bird at the sandwich shop :D

@ Dan, that would be ace, I'd be running off for a pint to check out the local talent down there while I was there :)

[Boxbrownie]

That sounds like Lexus main stealer prices! :shutit:

My local fitters charge £10 a corner and a very, very expensive and extremely highly regarded high performance specialist fitters close by only charge £12 a corner all in.......so yes.....you are being "filled in" at that price.

Best regards David

[aido]

Filled in

Don't worry I won't ever be going back to the place that tried ripping me!

[steve2006]

I always take mine to ETS ( Eden Tyre Services) at Somercotes, Alfreton they also have one at Ripley, Derbys but not sure about anywhere else.

They charge around a tenner to put my own tyres on including valve, balance ( stick ons), rim crud removal, torque the wheels nuts correctly and old cover disposal.

[aido]

Cheers fella, tried the Ripley one, they were a lot more reasonable, it was Selectatyre in Ripley actually who quoted the 26.50 + VAT per wheel!

Used them a lot in the past but have to admit I go up to the Buxton one normally - saying that though since I moved further North the guys in Attecliffe are bang on everytime for anything you can think off - plus a couple are Chesterfield lads so I'll see them sometimes in the Beach Bar :D Then again not been there either for 6 months
