... 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 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!

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

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!
