Bit of a dilemma here...
Found a good deal on mytyres.co.uk, but none of their "approved" fitters in my vicinities seem very kosher/reputable.
I called a few decent looking fitters and obviously none will accept to fit tyres not supplied by them...

So my question is - please recommend me a decent tyre fitter who will be happy to take delivery of my tyres from an online company, located either in E14 or W1 ish?

I've never had a problem getting tyres fitted, although I've always turned up in person rather than calling ahead. Normally pay £10 per tyre, normally get a receipt.

I get my tyres off camskill as I find they're the cheapest and get a local independent garage to fit for £12 a tyre Inc. Balance and new valves. And usually save £100ish that way on a full set rather than goto pro tyre or national tyres for the buy and fit scenario.

I should point out that I'm unable to take delivery of the tyres, and therefore need the fitters to take them in and keep them until I'm able to pay them a visit.

All other places I checked were £600 more expensive than online sites so I really don't have any choice!

Don't see the issue here, any old fool can out a tyre on. Just go and stand out there and watch them, make sure the balance them up and you'll be fine.

Always bought from camskill, black circles or mytyres and never had a problem getting them fitted locally - if you befriend one of the younger employees that like cars they'll do it in their lunch for a tenner wink or failing that get the wife to do it.

A local mobile fitter will do it, not sure on accepting the delivery though as when they sign for it they will be signing that everything is in good order.
