Reassuringly expensive.

 

[Davey B]

It depends on what you paid for the tyres but main dealers are seldom the cheaper end for buying bike tyres

 

[Rockred]

It could be a cheap service and expensive tyres, or vice versa, we need a breakdown of the bill.

 

[twizzle]

£350 service
£220 tyres
£60 fitting

£630.

Easy

 

[twizzle]

As said… avoid dealers for tyres…

 

[er-minio]

People change tyres at the dealer and then complain about cost

 

[diplomaticdanny]

Bahnstormers Alton were the same price for tyres as my usual tyre dealer so they’re not all bad.

 

[leadfarmer]

Brake fluid too maybe? They like to change it every 2 years

 

[EKIMYRF]

£350 service
£220 tyres
£60 fitting

£630.

Easy

£220 for a pair of Road 6's seems a bargain to me

 

[twizzle]

Increase tyres…. Decrease service…….

I'd expect the service to be around the £230 mark and they'd want to change brake fluid too at around £75 so it all depends on what you paid for the tyres, if you had a courtesy bike and how many cappafrappachinos you drank ?

 

[Victor c]

1st year and 6000mile service, which includes brake fluid flush, is £236 at Williams in Manchester. So that is £394 for a pair of tyres. Definitely spanked on that one.

 

[twizzle]

It may be a 6,000 service @ 12,000 miles………bigger service.. plus brake fluid….

We need more details from OP

Same here. Bahnstormer Maidenhead.

 

[peepingtom]

I ask the price before booking work in for this reason.

 

[Santa-2512]

£220 for tyres, thats a fekin bargain!!!

I paid £350 for a pair fitted earlier this year!!

 

[Davey B]

Twizzle...tell me (the rest of 'em) that you plucked the numbers out of thin air?

 

[r1happy]

£60 for fitting 2 tyres is taking the mick. I’ve never paid more than £10 a tyre.

 

[clutchspring]

All way's make me smile you use the mother ship for what ever then complain about the cost, some one's got to pay for all the fancy showrooms & don't forget that so called "free" coffee your drinking while your bike is being bathed in goat's milk.
It's a business there to make money !.
