Decent price for work? Fitting tyres, alloys + lowering springs?

[Sam Wood]

Hi guys

I have recently purchased x4 172 alloys (with no tyres)
And some 40mm Apex lowering springs

What would be a fair price for a garage to charge to:
A - fit the 40mm apex lowering springs
B - put partly worn cheapish tyres on all four alloys
C - fit the alloys to the car?

Prices for individual done and all together please
And before anyone asks I do not want to do the work myself


Cheers, Sam

I can get 4 tyres fitted + balancing for 40£ down here.

Anyone else got any idea how much?

Think springs can vary from £20-£50 per corner. Depends on the garage etc. Some garages up here dont fit parts youve bought yourself. My local garage put springs on my old clio for £90.

I know a guy that will put all 4 springs on for £50. Dont know about the price of tyres being put onto alloys but he'll put alloys on for 10er. might be a bit far for you though??

 

[nick.]

25-30 per corner for springs and probably 40-50 quid for tyres on and alloys. Looking at 170 quid tops imo

around £40 for tyres put on the alloys, and probably looking for £90 for the springs fitted, fit the rears yourself and let them do the front if you cant and that will save cash!

And are you seriously not able to put a wheel on your car? undo 4 bolts, take it off, put an alloy on and tighten bolts?

Obviosly I can put a wheel on

But it seems abit silly to

Go and buy tyres, get them put on the alloys at the garage
drive home put alloys on car
drive back to garage for them to take them off again 2 put springs on

its part of there job to take them off? knowing a garage they will probably charge you for fitting new wheels
