So this is their scam.
If you want a tyre fitted today or tomorrow, you can only do it by going into one of their centres and paying a shelf price for the tyre. If you can wait for 2 days, you can book online and pay an online price.
The difference between the 2 prices in my example? £97 to £197. What a fcuking scam. So basically if you get a flat tyre and need it replaced quickly, they will make an extra £100 out of you. I'm going to a local independent instead.
well, lie about needing brakes,etc,etc aqnd ****e only MUGS even look at them tbh
You put in your reg and it gives you a good range of shoes for your vehicle.
Then you pay their price and print of a token to go to one of a list of independent garages and they fit the tyre for you - the cost of fitting is included in the price of the tyre.
Have you checked there?

I would otherwise use a mobile fitter but I can't get one for tomorrow morning.
The independent I am going to use is a little bit further away so I will just crawl down there. New car without spare wheel :banghead:
then get the mobile bloke to come round on weekend / monday.. no rush..maybe rent a car ..shimples

Then pay the lower price as you're not in such a hurry.

Just one of those **** filler things and a compressor and I know it won't work cos the valve on the tyre is fcuked and I can't even pump it up at all.

Or even fill it with air and then go for it.
Unless you've shreaded the thing it should last a few mins.

But the independent garage I am going to use is less than a mile away. 3,500 feet so I will just go super slowly.
Black Circle offers the earliest fitting of next Wednesday as well...

Theirs always a premium to be paid for immediacy, same as scarcity.
What do you drive with a 197 tire? I pay less than that for Michelin's on the porky.

But, doesn't help you if you get a tire shredded by a pothole or some such.

Never had a puncture so wouldn't know.
Sounds like your 3,500ft plan is a good one, though.
