Are you allowed to say that on here? 

 

You make a good point Ronny, to be fair to this particular lot they seem ok. Also, being on lease I don't have a choice which chain does the work.

Obviously, your lease company don't mind being ripped off.

It's all a tax write off for them.

Or, they get a cracking deal so Kwik Fit have to make the margin by gouging joe public...

While sitting in the waiting room I heard some prices that nearly made me choke. It seems somewhere between £250 and £300 is the number of choice. Pair of discs for [some golf] £270, battery on [an Peugeot] £280.

Yes, as DG said, to the corporate,s it's a tax write off. Joe Public is looked on as a cash cow. But they're not the only companies who look to get a certain amount out of their unwitting customers. whether the work is needed or not.

As Jimmy points out, it's very unlikely that his lease company pays the same rates at Kwik Fit as poor old put upon Joe Public.

And ShitFit will know how to get extra out of said corporate.  For example, claiming this tyre was unrepairable, so have to fit a new one.  They probably make a few more quid on the tyre than they do on a puncture repair.

Funny you should say that, when I eveballed it, it certainly looked repairable, but apparently it was not  . The lease company certainly make them work for it though, the manager probably spent more time on the iPad, taking photos and poking menus than the other bloke did to change the tyre.

Got to hand it to them though, they had the correct one in stock, and looking around the place they carry more tyres on the shelves than probably every other tyre place round here put together. Again, I wonder if this is something to do with their corporate gig...

I wonder if they're more cautious about repairing EV tyres due to the weight of the car? 

Green machines!

Honestly I doubt it, I suspect it's all about the money. Also, my lardy EV is only about 50kg heavier than a diesel x5. Which isn't really a material amount at those kind of weights.
