I know the above company usually take a beating whenever anybody mentions them.
But i'd like to give them a bit of praise.
I took my car in to have the aircon re-gassed on friday.
Couldn't have been less painful.
I sat there for about half hour while they did it, and then had a bill for just £45.
Nice and easy.
Plus, i've got 20% off the next time.
So good job kwik fit. (kidderminster)

Out of interest, did they specify how long they vaccumed the system out for - and - did they pop any dye in with the new refrigerant?

Is it much colder? Need to get my MV6 done when it's running - the aircon works, and it's cool - but probably due as a matter of course

Could do with mine doing but I wouldn't trust my local kwikfit to find the right connection they would probably regas the washer bottle.

But glad to hear there not all like that.

All i know is that they did the vacume check, asked me what engine size it was, and filled me up.
It does seem colder than before.

I have been waiting for a post such as this!

Typical Kwik Fitup;  I wouldn't trust them even if there was no one else to do a job on my car!

Seconded Lizzie    For each (rare) good report you hear about Kwik Fit there are 10 bad ones!

they can't dance
they can't sing
and they sure can't fix cars

i have never trusted the places
ive seen there dogdy ways of changing oil and filters
taking the filter off and running the engine till its dry then put the old filter back on

i should know i worked for a kwik fit for 2 days
when i saw that i walked out

Surely it's quicker, and less messy, to just take the sump plug out?

thats what they did tho
and also used to squirta bit of old oil on the suspension and tell the customer it was no good

engine oil in the exhaust

when it came to wheel alingment, they used to rattle a spanner round and say its done

very dodgy people

Yes indeed; found that out some years ago now!

All i know is that they did the vacume check, asked me what engine size it was, and filled me up.

My vacuum check was for 15 minutes, and some here reckon that was too quick.
As for engine size having a bearing on anything, I'm afraid it doesn't. They really should have known what type of refrigerant was required, and how much was required.

It does seem colder than before.

When mine was done, it was so cold that I had to switch it off after 10 minutes because I was on the verge of not being able to feel my fingertips (climate control on auto, fan speed at maximum).
