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!
Theres only 2 jobs you dont do on my car either  :-[

Kwiks**t Ooh I mean kwikfit don't touch em with a barge pole!!! :o


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
You've just made me choke on my beer! ;D ;D ;D I was in kwick fit a few years ago and they actually dropped a fellas car of the car lift and stoved the side in :o :o

My car was only six months old and cost £11000 (1996 prices) and they wrecked the alloys! >:(

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
