Customer Service

Pros:

  • "Absolutely amazing service from Wayne and the guys today!! Called about 2pm with something dragging under my car, was told to come straight in and they’d take a look."
  • "Staff were helpful in giving alternatives to services available and options were given for assessment on tyres."
  • "These guys namely adam and elliot and the manager was so helpful and got me in the day after, sorted my tyres for a cheap price."
  • "Excellent service across the board. Despite my issue being caused by a different Kwik Fit branch, Dan could not have been more helpful."
  • "What brilliant service. I had ordered a new tyre but when I took the car to the service station I was told all I needed was a repair to the valve."
  • "As a 65yr old carer... I was grateful for your staff being really helpful and kind."
  • "The three men that was working couldn't be more helpful to get it sorted for me even though it was close to closing time they did not have a problem sorting me out."

Cons:

  • "Booked in at 11am, waited and got out at gone 1pm. Three workers wandered around doing very little."
  • "Only drawback was that they didn't answer the phone, so I walked in for the booking."
  • "However, the manager looked like he hated life and hated being there."
  • "Do not recommend if I could give lower than 1 star I would, bought a tyre less than a month ago... Service was lackluster, manager was rude."
  • "Several customers drove off as they were ignored and others were waiting longer than us. Disappointed and angry! Stay well away!"
  • "I am absolutely appalled and disappointed by your service and will never be using one of your excuses for garages again- a lucky escape!"
  • "Very rude customer service!"

Pricing

Pros:

  • "Work done at very competitive price."
  • "Sorted my tyres for a cheap price when they had the chance to rip me off."
  • "The price was reasonable and the service was good."
  • "The replacement tyre was also £15 cheaper than I paid elsewhere last year."
  • "I chose Kwik Fit to buy 2 tyres because of the 10% discount which saved me about £26."
  • "The prices were cheaper than for the exact same tyre in London which is expected but didn't expect it to be £25."
  • "One time i went because my local garage told me i needed two new tyres when I took the car to Kwik Fit they said no the tyres were fine so saved me money."

Cons:

  • "Pricing is interesting, there is no price on the web but was told that it was around £120 - ATS are £69.99."
  • "They told me it would cost me £205 to replace the 2 front tires and when they finished putting them on, they decided to change the price to £227 for no reason!"
  • "I chose Kwik Fit to buy 2 tyres because of the 10% discount which saved me about £26, but in effect I lost the discount when I had to pay an inflated price of £59.99 for the front tracking to be adjusted."
  • "Needed two aux belts changing and these cowboys wanted to charge me £400!"
  • "AVOID AT ALL COSTS !!! Straight away get quoted for 3 brand new tyres (£450.00), one damaged and 2 on the front with still good life in them."
  • "Avoid at all costs. Brought in car with brake pad wear indicator on, tried to charge me £760 for pads and discs all round."
  • "I was charged £248 for 1 tyre to be changed."

Professionalism

Pros:

  • "Very professional, polite and all round genuine guys."
  • "Were so professional and helpful with advice."
  • "Fantastic customer service and personal support."
  • "Very friendly and helpful staff, and very quick and convenient for MOTs, and essential car work, like batteries, tyres and exhausts."
  • "A really good bunch - they aligned the wheels on my Mini and sold me a great deal."
  • "Very professional but, at the same time, with a friendly and helpful attitude."
  • "Great service, fast and efficient, friendly staff who were super helpful and knowledgeable."

Cons:

  • "I was booked in for four tyres at 0830. The shop didn’t have any tools to take off wheels."
  • "I had to change a tyre on Saturday but your balancing machine was broken."
  • "The fact they are a tyre shop with no tools to fit tyres or check alignment, plus the fact they did a wheel spin in the workshop means that I will never use a kwik fit again."
  • "Service etc was great, staff were helpful but unfortunately one of my wheels was damaged when my tyres were changed."
  • "Alignment adjustment was overpriced. After I bought and fitted tyres at the garage the adjustment of alignment costed £64.95 with a discount where other garages charge much less."
  • "I wouldn't take my car there if I was you. Not only was I waiting for almost an hr for my car to get one of its tyres replaced, they still managed to screw it up."
  • "I witnessed conversations between staff whilst we were there which showed a culture of rudeness, disrespect and trying to belittle others, including me."

Efficiency

Pros:

  • "The appointment was on time, no delays."
  • "rang on a Sunday and went in immediately after agreeing price etc."
  • "Got an appointment straight away and following a cancellation, managed to even get sorted quicker and leave on time for my business meeting."
  • "Just perfect. I booked online, but arrived a little early in case they were ahead of time - which they were, and my flat (punctured) tyre was replaced before the appointment was due to start!"
  • "Had an appointment at 11, car went up on the ramp at 11.02, which I thought was excellent, I was driving away by 11.30."
  • "The two guys there on Sunday afternoon were brilliant...they found my almost invisible puncture and repaired it quickly and efficiently."
  • "Called up and got an appointment on the same day to get my slow punctured tire checked out."

Cons:

  • "Pre booked online for an air con re charge. Turned up and had to find someone in the workshop as they appeared short staffed."
  • "Went this morning for a puncture repair... person at reception insisted I had to leave the car. Seemed stressed and irritable, and was totally inflexible."
  • "I called in here due to an emergency problem with my tyre...and I was turned away quite abruptly because I never had an appointment."
  • "Turned up at 10 o'clock was told to come back at 8-30 next day despite big sign saying no appointments needed."
  • "Terrible place! Agreed a price on the phone! They then booked the appointment time wrong and then refused to honour the price they had agreed over the phone!"
  • "I had a puncture and I live in the middle of the Wye Valley, last Sunday... Imagine my delight when I travelled 22 miles to get there and it was shut."
  • "Had an appointment for 12.30. Finally got my car seen at around 13.15. Little point in the appointment!"
