Customer Service

Pros:

  • "Prompt service from the friendly experts at Kwik Fit Headington."
  • "Both Andy and Reiss were extremely friendly and professional and quickly attended to my issue."
  • "Extraordinary service I recently received when I dropped off my car due to a flat tyre."
  • "In a world where exceptional customer service is often hard to come by, Lyndon's performance truly deserves recognition."

Efficiency and Expertise

Pros:

  • "They not only fixed it quickly and efficiently but they didn't charge me anything for it."
  • "In less than 30 minutes, the wheel was off, tyre removed, hole plugged, wheel balanced and remounted."
  • "They did so immediately, resolving the issue within minutes and because it was so 'simple a job' for them - charged nothing."
  • "Very knowledgeable and honest."
  • "They squeezed me in the same day."
  • "Was very professionally and quickly done."
  • "Without any delay they serviced my car and it was sorted in no time."

Cons:

  • "They tired to put on a more expensive tyre and didn't offer to order a less expensive one in."
  • "Went to have brakes checked due to noise and vibration coming from brakes. Was told needed new pads and discs. Unclear why this was causing the noise. Noise has continued after the work."
  • "The garage was unable to provide time slots for a simple job like tyre change."
  • "Very little parking onsite so not possible to leave car with them."
  • "Ordered my run flat tyre for same day fitting... HOWEVER, it was the WRONG tyre, not the one I ordered online."
  • "Went in because the exhaust was blowing. They 'fixed' it but it was still as bad."
  • "Booked in for a shock absorber replacement... then three days later they called up and said they actually can't source the part at all."

Value and Integrity

Pros:

Cons:

  • "They tried to tell me I would have to pay £900."
  • "I thought by going to Kwik Fit at least the prices for different jobs would be fixed but it appears they have no shame in attempting to charge people the maximum amount they think they can get away with."
  • "I was informed that 'I don’t know nothing about that' even though nobody had asked me for my name, my cars registration number or even the size and make of the tyre."
  • "Not happy because I wasn’t properly informed of which brand of tyre they are going to fit in."
  • "When doing my tyres they said my Rear Brakes Disc & Pads where low & would need replacing costing £450."
  • "Plus I also found out that they charge significantly higher than other places even though they claimed that they have given me a discount."
