  • "After going to two garages who couldn't find the fault, Kwik Fit quickly found and fixed the problem."

Cons:

  • "Had three tyres fitted no problem but as we were paying we were told by Paul that as they were about to close they hadn't had time to align the wheels and to call in one day this week and they would do it. Called in today for alignment and was charged £50."
  • "Took my range Rover there to have the tracking done to be told they couldn't do it because they couldn't loosen the bolts, they advised me to go somewhere else to get the bolts loose and then take the car back to them for tracking, was a complete waste of time!!"

  • "Word of advise. Do not use, their work isn't really guaranteed."
  • "The only reason why I went to Kwik Fit was because they have laser alignment. They don't tell you that if you have parking sensors they cant do the laser alignment because it interfere with the equipment."
  • "They done my alignment and charged £91 and they also told me that you have done some on vehicle as well that should solve the issue. Went out straight way I facing the same issue."
  • "The whole exhaust was hanging down even though only the front was replaced."

Convenience

  • "I had an MOT & service booked and paid online. I got a call to say that they couldn’t do the day I selected."
  • "Asked to arrive at 8:30am for MOT test at 9:15. Told it would be about an hour but expected a call to say when it was done like all other garages I have used in my 30+ years of motoring, no call."
  • "Afternoon. I went in burnley kwikfit and got seen by Paul the manager!!!. Come in with a tpms light on. He tried to charge me with premium air which was £60!"
  • "Don't go for air con re-gassing. Had the car re-gassed last week, the air con lasted 1 day, went back really unhelpful and just gave me a refund."
  • "No response from you about your poor staff member working on their own. I cannot believe that a company as big as Kwik Fit could not arrange additional staff to cover for whoever wasn't in work."
