Well I'm kinda hoping he got the quote wrong. It's for a front and rear BT021 + fitting + disposal. When he said the price I did take quite a sharp intake of air.
By looking at various websites the general cost of a pair is up between 175 - 200 plus a hour or 2 taking off and fitting (~£50 a hour I'd guess) is up around the £300 mark. Maybe their labour is a bit expensive.

I think he's talking blocks, mate Ring him up again and see. I had 2 tyres fitted to loose wheels for 15 quid.
