York - Tyre Removal & Disposal

[DaveyBoyWonder]

Quick one - does anyone know of a garage in the York area that will remove a set of tyres and dispose of them and fit a new set supplied by me? I'm drawing a blank at the minute...

It's several year since they sorted tyres for my Saab, but could be worth a phone call.

They did have a bank of tyres in stock for customers I think, for summer/winter swaps so might be their sort of thing.

The Garage at Layerthorpe will do it, although the last time I had some fitted (supplied by me) and the old ones disposed of, they weren't cheap - £30 per tyre. I'm sure they used to charge around £12 a tyre...

I invested in my own machines for this very reason, and being able to offer tyres to customers has been well worth it and they are paying for themselves, but it's become an issue finding someone to change tyres for you these days, then when you do you find the price is something in the region of what's been quoted £25-45 a tyre. But now being on the opposite side I get it, there's the buying of the machines which you want to pay back, there's the cost to run them from maintenance to electricity, the consumables of soap, bead sealer, valves and weights all of which are cheap but add up and then you want to actually make some money to pay yourself a wage.

Thanks all. A few things to consider/try.
