You could expect..
£1 for each valve
£3 for stick on balance weights, each
£1 for each old tyre disposal
£? a few for each fitting
+vat

Or you could pop into a fitting place and slip a young lad a drink to fit them cheap. BUT this could limit your right to complain if one of your shiny rims gets marked.

Either way, be sure to point out the rims condition before fitting.

How much should you expect to pay for fitting four tyres to alloys including valves and balancing.

2 cost me a tenner at local Motorway Tyres. So £20 for 4 would be about right.

Good idea that Lee

Never thought of showing them the condition before they start on them

I was given an estimate of £82 from Stapletons in Stevenage to fit 4 tyres and perform 2 wheel alignments. Each wheel alignment was £21 so £40 to fit the tyres. Apparently there was a misunderstanding. The quote for fitting the 4 tyres was £82 and the alignment on top. Imagine my shock when the bill came to £125 including my companies 10% discount.

I complained to customer services and have so far got the alignment fees re-imbursed but why £20.50 to fit a tyre. I will not be returning to them.
