Count Muppet Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 I think it’s highly unlikely that anyone has offered this in the last few years. Especially since lockdown, where the car key sales seem to be improving each week exp121260 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard many different prices for Ford Tibbe keys that is why I asked here.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lock Stock Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 Timpson do have different price lists depending on competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Muppet Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 The truth is that the prices I have told you are the prices we expect. But as you know, we can charge whatever we like under that. i think the customer is confused though because we would normally charge £25 for a cut tibbe pod key without a chip exp121260 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can Timpson guys on here confirm if this is the case.. New member here, just stumbled across this forum this morning while looking for something online. I work for them and have done for 5 years l, and in the Notts area for the last 2 years, I can confirm the correct pieces for a tibbi key should be... £11.00 Non-chipped £59.95 Chipped £95 - For the old style 3 Button Remote. 2nd copy available half price for all of the above. Hope that clears things up :) exp121260 and ciawest 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exp121260 Posted August 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 Thanks all for your replies.. I think Count Muppet is spot on and the customer confused between a brand new Tibbe remote key and replacing his old remote key with new case/shell.

I was told it's up to the 'Manager' of the shop, years ago guy here was doing heels at 50P YES 50P! so depending on the competition they can charge whatever they want.

grahamparker Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 We did stilleto heels for 99p back in 1986/87 and it was mental. We where doing over 500 pairs a day some days back then and most bought keys and other things while waiting. It set our business on the path to where we are now.

Count Muppet Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 Think they call that sort of thing a “loss leader” you sell something people want at a slight loss to get them into the shop to buy other things at the right prices. im not aware of any of our shops doing this but could be wrong. I suppose some of us are fighting to keep ourselves off the streets these days and could be willing to try anything kobblers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
