they have an offer for free fitting on brake pads, ONLY £65.00, i said free fitting and your charging 65 quid, they only cost £20 a pair for front brakes, free fitting my ARSE >:(
-
I wouldn't trust them to fit anything, free or not...
-
at £18 for a set of genuine (TC), and easy to fit!
I didnt know how till the weekend, then Jaime guided me through the 1st one, absolute piece of piss!
-
Clucking Bell.....thats a rip off!
-
... and which you're there they'll do doubt find another load of things that
don't need doing. It's dangerous enough letting them loose on tyres let alone brakes.

I paid that for GM pads...... AND Discs!!! (its now £77 though)
Free fitting too ;)

I went there once for new front tyres. When I got the car back the brand new alloys were all really badly damaged. (Scratched and scuffed all the way around) >:(
I complained and they bought me new ones.
When I went to collect them they were also badly damaged, I don't know how?
NEVER EVER go there! :-[

`Would never go to Quick Fit again; I went there for an oil change whilst `working away from my home-base...they managed to overtighten and crack the aluminium lug on the oil filter cover in my V6 and left it leaking (without telling me what they`d done)....I spotted it later that day and went back to speak with the manager, only to be told (patronisingly):
"it wasn`t their fault, as it had already been leaking when I arrived there"
....which it most certainly was not! >:(
I had to get replacement filter-cover myself.....and wrote letters of complaint to the chairman of Q.F; but didn`t even get a reply to either.
I now know the score with regards to Q.F`s (ahem) 'services'...`Nuff-said!

Kwiks**t Ooh I mean kwikfit don't touch em with a barge pole!!! :o
-
not even slightly surprised by kwikfit!
they agreed a prebooked appointment to change my brother's tyres on his lex, then when he arrived they couldnt fit him in

Got to i work there. :(
But i do agree with you all most of the fitters in most of the centers are useless tw*ts and couldnt correctly fit a greasy stick up a monkeys arse.
There are a couple of good ones just dont ask me where ;D

A few years back Rachel went to Twitfit (long story) & had her brakes serviced.
After a day or so she noticed her fluid was getting low so went to the garage where she has car MOT'ed, they'd only gone & left a bleed nipple undone. She carries three kids around too >:( >:( >:( >:(
I wanted to go & knock some heads together, but she wouldn't let me :(
That's why i do as much as i can myself :y
-
I will never go back to them barstewards again, and when I did that was only for a flat tyre, and a new one, robbing barstewards, my advice shop around but never use them :y
-
There are only two things I dont do myself on my car......windscreens and tyres.
And every time I get either of these jobs done they break it up.
3 attempts to fit a windscreen and 2 attempts to balance the wheels properly!

Ive worked with some idiots but how the hell did they do that
-
My car was only six months old and cost £11000 (1996 prices) and they wrecked the alloys! >:(
-
kwik fit - change my brakes? Oh No No No No
Rather have the guy the collects the trolleys in Kwik Save do it than trust them...

I think the main problem is they have such a high staff turnover so they always have numpties instead of qualified older staff who care about what they do.
Ive been working for them since i left school (dont ask me why) and seen hundreds of staff come and go as soon as we get a good one they leave for better money. Its not that kwikfit are crap its the staff as kf do give high standards of training

Sorry about the bad comments about your workplace. I think it is the management to blame. Lack of training, high staff turnover, poor pay, too many jobs.... all those sorts of things. It's obviously not a reflection on any individual. :-*

Dont worry about that I agree with almost all of it ive had many arguments with the management ect about standards of work in my center (to the point ive refused to retest cars they've fixed).
All i can do is do my bit and do what i do properly
