Cons:

  • "Was told the wait for a replacement tyre would be 90 minutes. Waited for over 2 hours and still not ready."
  • "I called again to explain it'd stopped working, but was told I'd need to rebook another re-gas, which would take 3-4 weeks to get booked in."

  • "Went in for a tire change and wheel alignment now my car does not work."
  • "despite spotting rust on rear springs, the team failed to spot a badly damaged wheel when they replaced the flat tyre."
  • "impolite, I received a quotation after chasing for a week, then find the price is unbelievable high."

Value and Pricing

Pros:

  • "A superb, but pricey wheel alignment. Hot beverages were available for free, and I could see the car out the window."
  • "I use their warranty, which is actually a monthly direct debit to cover the service and mot for next year."
  • "Sorted out some tyres for a reasonable price at short notice, often fit you in even if busy."
  • "Booked our Fiesta in for an air-con recharge online. It was done promptly and could prepay which was convenient."
  • "Excellent customer service. My tyre spout covering was stuck and it would have cost 30/- to replace this. The guys at Kwikfit kindly did it for free as I was a previous customer by just using tools to loosen it."
  • "I will certainly be using Kwik Fit again and would recommend them to anyone."
  • "Great service from these guys! I went in to get a wheel alignment check and expected they'd need realignment."

Cons:

  • "Had an aircon clean and regas found out a few hours later that it didn’t regas so had to go back to get it regased again."
  • "Payed double what I normality paid. Was not notified of the cost until invoiced."
  • "Because I was charged nearly £70 for a wheel alignment that I thought was included in the price."
  • "Absolutely AVOID! Had 2 Pirelli tyres fitted at the cost of £490 including wheel alignment. 5 weeks later I see one of the tyre started to open up at near the trim without any damage to the tyre."
  • "Fixed cv joint okay asked them about a knocking/rattle I could hear, they took it out had it up on ramps and told me I need a shock absorber and I should get both done, over £340 decided to get a second opinion turned out to be the clip that holds the pads in, took 25 seconds to fix and cost nothing."
  • "I was told bulbs did not work on break lights and this showed on MOT form, which was annoying as a service before would have shown a bulb issue and should have been corrected before the MOT."
  • "Because I was charged nearly £70 for a wheel alignment that I thought was included in the price."
