rmmackfc Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Any advice on this? If you buy tyres of the internet, can a garage refuse to fit them? Cheers Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Bought my last set of the net and the only problem that I had with getting someone to fit them was I wanted it doing the same day! Went round ATS, Kwik Fit, National and a couple of smaller local fitters and nobody said no but were busy so couldn't do it there & then.

Sarnie Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Yep. I went to a tyre place to get a quote for some rears. £189 per tyre for 040's . Anyway I said that I could get them off the net for cheaper and he said that they would not fit any tyres that were on EU compliant, part worn or repaired. I suppose cos the come back would be on them if you have a blow out or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickya Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I go to my local tyre fitter, always charges approx £10 per wheel to fit no matter what! (& £7 for puncture repair) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sylvester Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 If it is a reputable tyre fitter they will want to see proof of purchase before they fit them ( to avoid fitting nicked tyres ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomoto Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 If it is a reputable tyre fitter they will want to see proof of purchase before they fit them ( to avoid fitting nicked tyres ). never been asked for an invoice before ! , What next driving licence and passport ??

jim Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Bought my last set from Blackcircles.com - competitive price and fitted at a local fitter of my choice from their list, at a pre-booked time of my choosing. Probably works out at around £7-£10 per tyre to fit, balance etc. I notice a few online suppliers now do the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
