As the title suggests, I've bought a set of tyres and need to get them balanced and fitted.
From phoning around, most places seem to be charging around £15 a wheel - this seems expensive to me.

Has anyone used a garage in the area that will do the job at a better price?

thanks in advance

Few others to ring round

RSR Tyres
Watlings Tyres

Might be a cheap place down at the holmethorpe industrial estate.
Good luck

I couldn't comment on anywhere over your way, but I'd just try popping into one of the places that want that £15 a corner, and asking them what their cash price is.

The place I take mine to is a national chain who over the phone wanted £20 per corner. Cash under the counter gets them done for half that. Needless to say, I have to doubt that the cash never makes it anywhere near the till.

Thanks for the suggestions - National Tyres was the first place I called but apparently they will not fit tyres that they haven't supplied themselves!
Watlings were the place that quoted £15.
RSR - may give them a go, but hope nobody sees me going in there ;-)

behind the station is a good idea, would look there. National did use to be the cheapest can't believe they wont fit your tyres!

Had some good and bad expereinces at RSR frown They can just about get any tyre in stock v v quickly for you though which can be useful when in a jam.
