I’m passing through both places tomorrow with two wheels in the back need new tyres , can anyone recommend good place to get them fitted in either place as it will save me another trip when I get home . 195/60r/12c

Surely nearly every tyre depot will have them in stock? I had my trailer serviced last Wednesday at my local one-man-band workshop in the middle of nowhere and while he didn't have the needed brake shoes in stock [delivered with four hours] he did have two of those tyres in stock. Luckily I didn't need a third. I know that specialist tyre depots all have them so put a search in Google on your phone and try a few from the list in the locality.

Google will bring up the garages and you can judge whether it is a Quickfit or not. As long as the price is right, what's wrong with Quickfit anyway? A tyre is a tyre and as long as you tell them to inflate it to 90psi there's not much to go wrong.

Keep away from kwikfit ... and that came from a mate of the manager at
Newtown
 
Charge top price for inferior products
Put customers car on lift and tell customer it won't be moved unless they agree to fit unnecessary parts
In Newtown staff put their own vehicles on lift to make it look good
I do know kwikfit are paying £2000 a week rent in. Newtown and there's no
way that amount is made

Personally I avoid multi nationals as as possible I like to help the one man bands if at all possible .
I agree and do the same and support my local small businesses. I'm not saying that I wouldn't buy from a big national supplier but I have the mechanic who fits tyres about five miles one way, but has now given up on big tractor tyres now due to his age, and the specialist tyre fitter down the other way that does my emergency work and gets most of my tyre orders.
