Cons:

  • "Took my car her for mot. just as I expected, it fail mot test, I was warned by friends and family but didn't listen, they said that the steering rack mounting bush is worn on both sides and rear offside light is wrong colour."
  • "Back at home I jacked the car up, got underneath and inspected all 4 tyres, and surprise! none were worn down to the steel chord."
  • "I was not called when my car was ready so unable to pick the car up until next day and then the works weren't done so I had to take away my car as needed for work, still with the same problem it went in for, absolutely appalled with the service from beginning to end!"
  • "The Mazda dealer immediately identified the problem, three of the wheel nut were not tightened!"
  • "Car was running clean as a whistle when I took it in. They failed it, said they didn't have the parts to fix it. Picked up the car and it sounded and ran like it was 20 years older!"
  • "DO NOT USE!!!!! Save money and don’t waste your time!"

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "I have been coming here for years for MOTs, services etc. always an excellent service and good value for money."
  • "Booked my Mini One in for a couple of new front tyres and a change out of tyre on spare wheel. Friendly, flexible and very good value for money."

  • "KwikFit Dorking fitted me in within a week and charged me £39.95!!"
  • "Fantastic customer service had 2 tyres booked in for Saturday but was called today to say the tyres had come in early!"
  • "They spent 30 mins mending a puncture for me last week and suggested I could pop £20 in the charity box on the front desk rather than have a bill."
  • "Pro-active, efficient and friendly! Didn't charge as only minor issue."

Cons:

  • "Invoice number: 127101287/82009038295/820. I was quoted a price of £222 for my tyre... When I received the invoice via email it was a different price of £254.88, £32 more then quoted."
  • "We’ve used this garage several times before, but this time I am left feeling… well, ripped off."
  • "Do not under any circumstances use these people, I took my car in to them for a MOT and service, I required two new tyres to pass the MOT, all told it cost me over £400."
  • "I was quoted £100 for a tyre the other day. I thought that's not right and asked if that was the cheapest tyre you did and 'apparently' it was and that you could knock £20 (like you were doing me a favour)."
  • "However, I could have got a battery for about £100 less if I had been prepared to wait a day."
  • "When I went to collect the car they tried to rip me off with unnecessary work that they claimed NEEDED to be carried out-as it wouldn't pass an MOT."

  • "Just been for a new tyre and was very impressed by the measures they have in place during the current COVID19 pandemic."
  • "I live absolutely miles away from Dorking and found a screw in my tyre, they very kindly squeezed me into their busy schedule and got me back on the road and on my way home back to Chelmsford within a couple of hours."
  • "My latest visit was for a new battery. I didn’t have an appointment, but they were able to fit me in and change the battery really quickly."
  • "They even gave me a couple of reminders before my appointment."
