WTF £22.50 for a puncture!!!

[escapeUK]

It probably did need balancing after a puncture (even if the tyre didn't actually hit anything, driving on a flat can knock the wheel out of alignment). But the valve should only have cost about 75p.

Balancing is where they clamp the little weights on the inside rim of the tyre, they dont tend to come off as a rule. Though as tyres wear they may require it.

Awww, that's nice, Love. Now put the kettle on and make us a brew....

FTFY...

Dropped wheel off at local Kwik Fit - small nail in tyre and slow leak

Picked it up and bill for £22.50 presented instead of the expected tenner

Valve £4.75
Nitrogen Inflation £1.50
Wheel balance £6.75

Huh? Are you a pauper or something? Seriously, you sound pitiful ranting on about such an insignificant sum.

What's £20 or so to fix a car puncture? You're lucky it wasn't £200 to replace the tyre, plus labour.

(I just spent £1100 fixing my Jag after accidently driving over a sticking out curb in Kilburn at 30 MPH. Knackered two wheels and a wish-bone whatever that is!)

I know that you got a windfall recently but what on earth made you go to a kwikfit to get a puncture sorted ? Cowboys is being too polite when describing them.

I thought all tyre places were the same?

I don't think I've ever had a tyre changed without some careless neanderthal damaging a rim.

FTFY...

All I know is the red ones go faster.

Where are you getting £22.50 from? Even if you add VAT onto that breakdown it doesn't come to that.

£9.50 for the puncture repair itself

HTH

Are you a contractor or what? You should make £22.50 in the time it takes for a fart to come out of your ass.

Principles my man...principles - the going rate for a puncture repair is a tenner the rest of the gumph is just a way of padding out the bill which will not stand..no sir emails sent to Head office

BTW How would you even know you needed a new wishbone or in fact if they have actually fitted one (think you have 2 on a Jag top & bottom)
