Probs takes just as long to change a tyre so I don't think that's really a bad price  :booty:

£10 only applies to the black ones :happy2:  my local tyre spot only charge £10 but I got the puncture after 4pm and didn't fancy not having the car over the w/end
  First I get stopped for doing 120 on the M6 then a puncture in a new tyre  My luck has got to change  :signLOL:

Rip off for sure but sometimes KwikKrap are the closest tyre fitting place. I had a tyre repaired recently at my very local Kwikflap, they charged me for the normal puncture price which includes a balance. The tyre fitter didn't balance my wheel so I asked for that portion of the charge back, which was duly refunded. Tyre's still holding air!
