Your dealer is having a laugh! JCT only charged me £815 for a full set of P-Zeros in Nov-15, inc fitting and balancing and disposal, and I had the option of Corsa for £20 more at the time (I didn't want them). The price fluctuates a little from time to time, but still £750 is a very good price. £2200 is just taking the mick.

Less £4.75 because you don't need their valves with the TPMS smile

Yes, I told the dealer to go do one and ordered online for half the price. KwikFit next time though.

Did they use their Company script during your visit?

"Your car needs new brake pads and discs Mr. Flugplatz."

Having tried that trick on me (not my AM), when the pads were only 20% worn,
I would not go anywhere near Kwikfit, even if their AM tyres were free.

Do you remember the topic on here, about Kwikfit advertising their ability to service any Aston Martin car.
How we all laughed.

Will never use Kwik Fook again after they reversed a car off the ramp into the front of my daughter mini ( having had 2 new tyres fitted) while I was sitting behind the wheel waiting to drive out. Then to cap it all they tried to say it wasn't there fault, over £1500 of damage

Their prices seem to be particularly cheap at the moment.

I bought 4x MPSC2s for £158 each whereas everywhere else - Blackcircles etc. - they're £220 each. They even refunded the fitting fee after I said that I didn't need them to fit the tyres.

Does the V12 run on bicycle tyres then? smile
Be just checked for my V8 and they seem expensive to me!

Do you guys who use Kwik Fit have a relationship with a particular garage as I'm not sure I would trust a generic Kwik Fit with my p&j....especially as I not long ago had my wheels refurbished?
I have never used them before and have no experience of their service.....perhaps I am doing them an injustice....just curious!!

Cheers,
Geoff.

I'll be reading the riot act beforehand wink
A chap I know used this particular Kwikfit and they hand torqued the wheel nuts, show's some care.
