L22EEW Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Gotta love Ford, eh? Anyone use "Who Can Fix My Car?" I use now and again to see how much a garage will charge for some work. Anyway looking around for someone to fit 4 new tyres, to my new Momo Qunatun's to go onto the Fiesta - some new shoes for the old girl. Look what Ford quoted: (I know there must be labour charges, and what not... but still! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken.K Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 just go to any tyre, kwik fit etc or Halfords autocentre 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L22EEW Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 Aye, I know that. But always good to shop around - for the best deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerFlame Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Wouldn't trust quick fit or Halfords, or Halfords autocentres anywhere near my car.. wouldn't even trust them to change a bulb or wiper blade. There's a reason I do all the work on my cars aside from tyres.. and even then I go to a local independent garage.. www.yorkshiredetailing.co.uk - approved resellers of the Highest quality detailing & Valeting supplies 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 local independent tyre fitter gets my vote too, esp if you value your wheels in there present condition 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arwen Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 National tyres is the place I always go to for new tyres. I've used multiple branches and they have all been fantastic. Always treat the car well and never had a problem with them. They even plugged a tyre for free too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L22EEW Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 I've used National tyres numerous times in the past. However I bought my Avon ZZ5 tyres via TyreShopper - and had them fitted with National (fitting is included you see) - IIRC I paid something like £65 per tyre. However my latest set of Avon ZZ5's I purchased from Gumtree, it was a lucky find as I hadn't long bought my Momo Quantum's. Managed to scoop the tyres (with a cheeky offer) for £135 - seller was asking for £160, so £33.75 for an Avon ZZ5 is pretty good. Now I just need to find somewhere that will fit them, for a reasonable price - and not £88.80 Ford quoted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor22 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 That price doesn't sound too extortionate.. you've asked for your tracking to be done as well, it's £10 to fit and balance a tyre and £35 for tracking at the locals where I live so £75 in all, they've only quoted £13 more which for ford is quite good which normally charge three times the going price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
