Quality and Speed of Service

  • "They managed to change my tyres, discs and brake pads in no time even with a good discount!"

  • "Quick reliable service all faults shown in detail repair reasonably priced."
  • "All done on the time I was booked in for very punctual."

Cons:

  • "Feel a tiny bit ripped off, and no clearer on what any of it meant."
  • "Having to wait over an hour to get two tyres changed and tracking tested and reset, is a bit much."
  • "Only thing I would say is £60 for front wheel alignment (£80 including rear) is a bit too much and if I'd known it was that much in the first place, sadly I would not have wasted my journey."

  • "Booked in to a different Kwik-fit to have work done - they questioned why I'd said discs as nothing whatsoever wrong with them."
  • "Visited Kwik Fit Widnes for another alignment, regretfully fell short this time. New staff in who don’t know how to use alignment system and turned my car away."

Cons:

  • "widnes, great same day 4 new tyres fitted, at online price as well! however i do have a bit of an issue with, the free 'wheel tracking', the old tyres where good tyres run flats 'which have been on the car since 2013, with well over half tread depth left 'hate run flats' but point is they had no outside or inside shoulder wear at all, the entire tread pattern was evenly worn, no sign of tracking problems, yet the tracking equipment showed tracking out on all 4 tyres out of alignment 'not so' at £84 to fix i find that extortionate 'had same thing at warrington branch, 4 new tyres fitted, and was shocked, when was charged £84 to track!"
  • "New exhaust was pricey (Jaguar only part) but quickly fitted once delivered."
  • "For mot/service/repairs would definitely go elsewhere due to high pricing."

  • "Thank you again to the wonderful technicians at Kwikfit Widnes who helped fix a puncture on my Motability car at such short notice."
