Gibs20 0 Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 I've got some new wheels for the golf and i want the two rear tyres on my car put on 2 of the new wheels for the front and 2 tyres taken off some steels to put on the rear. Then all balanced etc and ready to roll. I've been quoted £50 cash by a garage near me.... is this ok? Link to post Share on other sites
Jk* 0 Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Sounds bloody expensive unless they are doing the tracking. Usually ( in my area) it costs £5 per tyre to be removed if they keep the tyre.. Link to post Share on other sites
Gibs20 0 Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Yeah i thought it was expensive... Kwik fit just quoted £40 Link to post Share on other sites
matth76 1 Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Kwik Fit are normally expensive so if they can beat your local garage that means your local garage is very expensive mate. Look else where. Link to post Share on other sites
Karr-Man 0 Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 whenever ive needed to do this sorta thing i go to the local kwik-fit on a sunday when the management isnt about. when the manager isnt there i find that the guys generally do the work for free as long as theres a couple of beers in it for them:) Link to post Share on other sites
