I used to just use a crappy scissor jack as it's only 2 changes a year, I've since bought a proper trolley jack and it does save me about 10 mins time I reckon on a 4 wheel change

Am I the only one that can't be arsed changing wheels?
Main dealer/tyre fitters will do this for me. It's not like I own spare tyres, and in this country in the south east (more east to be honest) winter tyres are generally not worth the effort.. Are people using these to give the car wheels a good deep clean? I use wheel woolies that I'd suggest do a good enough job... What are you planning to do with these?

Also changing brake pads and discs myself, saves about £160 on a pad change and £200-300 on disc change. |

When I did have winter tyres I used to pay for them to be swapped each spring and autumn. £40 a time iirc. Some swaps free when new summers were needed. Bearing in mind the money we are all spending on cars, I'd rather spend a fraction less and still have someone else do the wheel change - if that was the budget decision. That's just me though, do understand that others enjoy this.

Main reason to do it yourself is because you are not a ham fisted 16 year old apprentice on minimum wage being let loose with thousands of pounds worth of scratchable alloy wheels I can understand if you dont have anywhere to store a very heavy trolley jack though.
