How much for labour just to swop tires? Any good shop?

[Drive]

Hi

Just wanted to change all 4 tires (got 4 spare ones at home), got quoted for $50. Not sure if there's any cheaper ones that are caring enough to take care of your rims?

totally agree with you ...those ppl thought it is so easy, tcss no.1 siang kiang

 

one hiam $50 expensive and expect the rim to be treated like royalty, though regardless of cost, the handling of rim should always be caution...however such attitude abit hiam tam hiam leh, also don't need to do balancing and changing air valve meh???

 

another lagi best less than $20, if is a child labour maybe lah..rotate n balance already cost more than $10 liao, swapping tyres expect less than $20, maybe he can do it by himself at the void deck.

Ok got the point that $50 is reasonable.

50 sgd reasonable anot depend on what size u changing , and of course what service they giving u .

 

and lastly how old your tyres , all car owner must know this , old tyres when harden, if take out GOT chance the bead will break . if break who is going to be responsible?

without much info from you, like size, require balancing? change air valve? very difficult to say $50 is reasonable or not. u gotta to be upfront tell the tyreshop all these and they will tell upfront to you on the price. If u withhold info and then u question them why never do this n that, then arguement starts, no pt....states the SOW and the tyreshop is able to quote u the price.

[Roberttan]

simple la, you go to the shop tell them exactly what you need them to do,so they quote you the price ,if ok proceed

or go there tell them what you want and leave every thing to them (you dont want to know how they do the job)sure cheaper one.

 

pleae do show them your both car or item to be exact.

surely a ferrari 19" rim will cost must more to do the similar job than car like toyota vio 14" rim

JT_Woodlands is asking you to read up bro beregond comments, your friend $20 for 17" is it bicycle tyre or is it refering to rotate and balance on existing CAR tyres and not swapping here n there (which includes tyre take out from rim and put back again)....

swopped tyres as in literally swopped from one car to another without dismounting tyres from the rim and mount back? any balancing done?
