Thats shocking, the local tyre place I use charges ?10 a tyre or ?35 for a full set, next time look for a local independent place

I hate Kwik Fit.

About three years ago I took my Neon into our local branch as I wanted to get the oil changed. I had an original Mopar oil filter with me.
I went in an asked how much would it be to change the oil.
'What car is it mate?'
'It's the green Neon outside' I replied.
'Oooh' scratching his head, 'We won't have one of those oil filters in stock, we'll have to order it in. We can do it tommorow'. He said.
'You don't have to do that, I have an original oil filter on the front passenger seat'. I told him.
'Sorry mate, we can only fit our own oil filters'.
'Eh?' I said, 'Let's get this straight, I want an oil change but you will only fit your unbranded oil filter but I have the correct filter for my car and you won't fit it. Is that what you're telling me?'
'Yes mate'
'Bye then'.

(bunch of idiots).

That is a very good price....where are they located please?
Biking is me real passion. If it has to be a car it needs to stand out a bit.
I hope they don't stop making the Caliber like they say.

camskill are usually always cheaper than mytyres and blackcircles, but you need to sort your own fitting
