Empty It Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Looking to get 6 tyres fitted (4 on one car and 2 on the other) how much should I be looking at to get a local company to fit these, balance and dispose of the old ones if I supplied the tyres? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get an online quote from blackcircles, then another from national tyres, that'll give you an idea of what £ to expect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black circles were £200 more for the exact same tyres so I imagine I can get them fitted for cheaper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therein lies the difficulty. The sellers of tyres make a profit on the tyres as well as the mount and balance, so they might increase the price a wee bit to compensate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my area, £20 is the max I've been quoted. I gave that a miss, and went for the £12.50 quote from another place. Next time, it had gone up to £15. Last time, it was back down to £12.50. Phone around. And for 6 tyres, I'd go for the haggle. My embarrassment threshold is usually around 10% in a face to face encounter.
