Kwik Fit Reviews

I asked my son to take the car into Kwik Fit Redhill branch to have a look at rattling coming from the rear axle. They speculated it was the "arms" needing replacing which would cost about £280. So I agreed and about 2 hours later they rang me again to say it was not the arms but the spring on the rear passenger side wheel. It ...  Read the complete review

How long do you reckon it would take Kwik-fit to MOT a car, fail it, re-align the headlights, fit two new tyres and an indicator bulb and issue an MOT cert? Now remember 'Kwik' means 'quick'. A few hours? Most of the day?.....how about a day-and-a-half! Yes, Kwik-fit Wokingham on the Reading road actually took form 13:30 to 17:30 ...  Read the complete review

Wife took her car to local Kwik-Fit for puncture repair, nice simple job. That evening before putting car in garage notice tyre soft, subsequenty return to Kwik-Fit. Said repair had failed and was leaking though patch, would need to repalced tyre. Spoke to branch manager on phone, suggested as they had failed to carry out repair with due skill and care. Then they should refund fee and dicount price of replacement. Need to check area manager reply. Offered refund and discount, but withdrawn at face to face in branch. Told on refund of fee as goodwill gesture, nothing they would do about tyre. Won't be using there services again, will get new tyre elsewhere.

Well i have had an Astra & now own a Vectra, and every time we get MOT's at quick fit we develop a major water leak less than a week later, 2 cars over 3 years every time quick-fit get there hands on them they get water-leaks miraculously afterwards, I wouldn't mind but the fact we did not use them one year and that year there was no leak is just amazing as it shows there's something very wrong with their service.. Con Men out for easy money, and beware they seem to like targeting little women that don't look like they will stand up to them.STAY AWAY!

MOT £30 .. ? No .. will find the smallest fault , makes ups faults that didnt need fixing, charges over the odds then makes you pay again for an MOT even when its under 24 hours ! STAY AWAY FROM THEM THEY WILL FIX U UP WITH A RIGHT CON>> WATCH THIS SPACE FOR BBC WATCH DOG!

My wife booked an mot on line at Kingston upon Thames Kwik fit, the car failed on several things, 1 being a tyre which they wanted to charge £80 to replace, we took the car to another local tyre centre and it was done for £60, they also claimed the exhaust needed sections replacing and that the emissions had failed, they said that once ...  Read the complete review

I went to slow - fit in southend to replace my tyre on my BMW but they spent 2 hrs doing nothing and 1 hr(s) trying To fix our car I am ashamed that I didn't go somewhere else £150 given to some company that spends 3 hrs trying To get a new tyre for me they NEED MORE STAFF! Never go to this lazy company NEVER! My son didn't want to go to Southend at all let alone 3 HOURS I am really annoyed with this company.

I will start by stating I am a qualified tyre fitter of 15 years experience who is currently in the trade. I visited a Kwik Fit centre in Birmingham to acquire a tyre for a friend i was visiting in Birmingham and as I live and work in Nuneaton was not able to supply and fit the tyre myself. I enquired about a tyre, which was ...  Read the complete review

On February 8th 2012 I went to Kwik Fit (1 Tessa Rd Richfield Ave, Reading, RG1 8EQ) with a puncture. They were able to repair this but then approached me and said that one of the wheel nut bolts was cross threaded resulting in the whole hub requiring replacement. This was on the same hub / wheel that the tyre was replaced on. ...  Read the complete review

Absolutely appalling service and management - the manager here is an embarrassment to the name of Kwik Fit, no manners, no courtesy, ill informed, ignorant, rude........the worst attitude I have encountered from any retail service for a long long time. Never again......I don't know what they are taught on Kwik Fit customer relations courses but this Manager somehow slipped through the net.Kwik Fit hang your heads in shame !If there was a no star option they would get it........

I feel they are after easy money, I can write dozen pages on my terrible experience with him but just to give you idea ... I paid around £ 350 for full service and when next month I gave them my car for MOT, they gave me an initial estimate of £ 100 and in evening I received a call n was informed that I need to spend 900+ £ to get my car ...  Read the complete review

I took my running perfectly well with no problems car to our local Kwik Fit in Bracknell(against my gut instinct not too but they were the cheapest) for an MOT and a full service(it hadn't been done in two years so I thought I had better). Ready at lunchtime so they said, called at lunch 'he is just finishing the service, should be done ...  Read the complete review

On the 26th of october this year i took my Renault clio to the Harrogate road branch of kwik fit to report that the steering seemed a bit erratic and felt like it was trying to steer in a different direction to what i wanted to go in. As i am an ex mechanic myself i knew that it was something to do with the tracking or steering rack ...  Read the complete review

I went to KwikFit at Knights Hill in South London to get a new battery - I had suffered a flat battery and knew it needed replacing (8 years old). This KwikFit team were helpful and knowledgable, explained what they were doing, had the part ion stock and fitted it promptly. They also took time to show me how to take off some of the ...  Read the complete review

Had my MOT done this morning at Dorking Kwikfit. Booked online. Car taken in on time and passed. Several advisories given & clearly explained, all things that I knew needed doing, no pressure to get them done there. Bargain for £35. As a female have elsewhere felt taken advantage of but not here. Had to write this as nearly cancelled after reading over reviews on here but went ahead as had already paid and so glad I did. The reason I thought I'd try Kwikfit is because I don't trust my usual garage. Recommended, thanks Kwikfit!

I received a 20% off EVERYTHING at Kwikfit voucher recently and wanted to take use of it by doing an oil change with filter.Once I visited their service centre in Harrow and they said the filters were out of stock. After a couple of days of chasing up, they wanted me to come there today. Once the service was done, I presented them with the voucher, which clearly states that I am entitled for 20% off everything that they offer, however, the cashier denied the voucher by saying "their system won't allow it"!!! Clearly, it is a trick! They just distributed some vouchers to get the customers in and refuse to honour their own vouchers. At the end I took my car home (after paying the full price), to notice their apprentices had spilt oil all over the engine! I would never go there again!

on saturday I phoned kwik fit in galashiels to repair a leaking tyre valve just bring it in sir I was told as an OAP I realy did not want to drive the car with a leaking tyre but assured by the fact that kwik fit would fix it right away I set off on the 7 mile drive only to be told when arriving at the kwik fit depot that they did not have anyone who could fix a leaking valve and take it to ATS I was stunned at this as both myself and my wife are regular customers of kwik fit getting mot and servicing brakes ect. done there it seems they are only willing to help if you are spending hundreds of pounds needless to say I will never be back
