Quality and Speed of Service

Pros:

  • "All the staff were enormously helpful and friendly. They spent some time doing a diagnostic check and gave me sound advice."
  • "Sean and the boys are the best. They helped us out when the useless rental company refused to."
  • "Brilliant service from Sean. We’d been in touch on and off for most of the day, as we had a flat tyre on Mull and needed to be sure we could get a replacement."
  • "Fantastic service! I caught a puncture on holiday on the way from Arran to Mull. Despite it being a busy day of bookings, the team managed to fit me in."
  • "Thanks so much Sean for all your help on Saturday.Made it all so easy and got us back on the road in 2 hours despite having a busy day yourself."
  • "Had a slow puncture in passenger rear tyre. Spoke to Kwik Fit manager who said he could deal with it in an hours time."

Cons:

  • "Staff were helpful though it took longer than I thought as I called and they said we can see it in an hour. Got there and then had to wait another hour for car to be seen."
  • "Checked back at 1130 car still parked where I left it. I asked worker at desk if he had checked to see if he had the tire in stock."
  • "Took my car to get 2 new front tyres supplied and fitted. Drove car from kwik fit home and the next day one tyre was flat."
  • "This was a very disappointing experience. I booked my appointment on-line to replace the battery in my Nissan X-Trail. On arrival, I was told that the battery was not available."

Product Availability and Pricing

Pros:

  • "Absolutely well worth it. Sean the manager, and Brendan, were superb, couldn't have been more helpful. Did the work immediately and we ended up having all four tyres replaced."
  • "Thanks very much to Sean and his team who helped us when our exhaust fell off before a long drive back to Liverpool, straight after a bank holiday."
  • "The guys here were really helpful, i was stuck with a slow puncture and they had my tyre in stock, they had a busy day but still managed to fit a tyre."
  • "This place is amazing! Billy and Paul did us a real favour and took care of us so quickly when we had a flat tyre. No one else in town had the tyre we needed but they had two!"

Cons:

  • "Only stock expensive top brand tyres. In such a remote location it leaves people no option but to pay for high end brands even if they dont need or want them."
  • "On collecting the car no further charge was needed. I said my car is low mileage and well maintained. The answer to that was I have seen this happen in cars that only have 200 miles."
  • "Placed a order for Goodyear tyres never got them thay offered me budget ones and still expected me to pay for the more expensive ones thay added a 'free' wheel alignment."
  • "Had to make an unexpected stop due to break problems, unfortunately I had to leave van till the following day waiting on parts."
