Kwikfit Tyres cheaper online

Just a word to the wise.

Kwikfit can be up to £35 cheaper for tyres if you order and pay for them online in advance and get a booking slot for fitting.

I had to gat one fitted last week when I had a puncture and at that time I had no choice as I was needing the car for work, at the fitting I was advised that my front tyres were close to being fully worn so I said I would be back when I was off work the following week.
Browsing online this morning I noticed that the same tyre that I got was £35 cheaper if bought in advance :eek:
Shame I didn't know that when I had the puncture or I would have made it home somehow to do the purchase before going down for the fitting.

I was also able to order a different brand rather than having to accept what they could get at short notice.

    Shock horror. Companies can charge different prices online than they do in their stores.

    Up next: Water is wet. Stay tuned.
