Tyre fitters?

[KimmyM]

Hey wouldn't normally post up but could do with some help.
Can anyone recommend a good honest tyre fitter that’s not going to rip me off just because I'm female?

Just got an un-repairable flat on my car and could do with two new tyres for a reasonable price ideally tomorrow as currently on a space saver.

Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Many Thanks
Kim

Cheers had two people recommend Alba, have to say there not the cheapest at the moment but they are the most helpfull.

Best Deal so far is BlackCircles.com for £62 per tyre + fitting + discount but I don't know any of the Garages they send the tyres too and could do with today.. Lived in Leeds over a year and it's the first time I've needed tyres

Garages in Guiseley, Yeadon, York Road, Moortown, Hunslet... Thankfully Hunslet is where the Suzuki garage is so I roughly know where that is but don't know if there any good
(Haven't had much look with my car and garages)

I've just got the quote off BlackCircles so will be giving everyone I've called a ring back and seeing if they can beat the price, But I'm sure as soon as they hear a female voice the pound signs come out.

I've used Alba on Leeds Road, Bradford a few times. Head towards Bradford from Thornbury. Got Eagle F1's for about 90 quid a corner for my Scooby back end of last year.

Had some off Blackcicles end of last year and got them fitted by a local mobile fitter (Halifax) and they did a great job !

But thats Halifax :P

[KimmyM]

Fixed... Thought I'd pop to tyre garage on Burley Road as it's not far from work. Had a good chat about cars and ended with him puncture repairing my tyre for next to nothing.

I'll be ordering good tyres from Black Circles and getting him to fit them as he said he'd do it for free.

Now it's what tyres to choose!?

Thank you for your help guys. Out of the Garages suggested I'd defiantly go to Alba, very helpful on the phone and weren't trying to sell me the most expensive tyre but the most suitable, unfortunately they couldn't reduce the price much more.

You could try ringing one of the branches of these that you are near to get a price.
