Tyre fitting query

Sindri · 28 Jan 2011 at 16:28

I want to get a pair of new tyres and noticed that camskill were doing them for a decent price.

How much would you say is reasonable to have a garage fit and balance them?

Thanks in advance.

Everywhere i spoke to wanted £12-17.

Remember, with Camskill though you have to factor in the cost of delivery too. Have you looked at blackcircles?

On camskill i can get them for a touch over £40 a corner, but the same tyres on blackcircles fitted are nearly £65.

That's why i wondered if it would be worth getting them delivered from camskill and fitted seperately.

Just rang a couple of places and the cheapest wanted £17 per tyre, but when i factored in delivery etc from camskill it would be £125 overall anyway.

Decided to go with blackcircles for £129 as i dont have to worry about being around for delivery, and can book my car in to be fitted for one of my days off next week.

OP, where are you based, there's a place near me that fits for a tenner a corner.

I'm in north london, so i guess it's not surprising i can't get them fitted and balanced for around £10 a corner. Kind of annoying i don't know anyone nearby that could do it for cheaper.

In some ways though getting it all sorted through blackcircles has made it a lot less hassle for me, so im not too bothered about paying a bit extra.
