What's the world coming to?
I bought 3 new tyres from Kwik-Fit, and their price was significantly better than anyone else I could find, including BlackCircles. Fitting was all done competently, etc.
MOT done for £25. No faults found.
Credit where it's due, I reckon.
I get my MOT done at the vauxhall main dealer, its cheaper.
Damn you, Red Baron! How much?
about 50p
Yep. But one experience put me off ever buying anything safety related from them again
NT
They're certainly not as bad as one might imagine but can be variable. I had a puncture a few weeks ago (damn those sharp screws). Took the motor to Kwik-Fit, where the (almost new) tyre came from. Blokey said the screw was too close to the edge to repair so needed a new tyre but would take a day to get it in. When I went back, blokey number 2 said it was repairable, if a little marginal and did it for free as they had a deal to fix punctures on all their tyres (I didn't know/remember that). I did question whether it was safe, but we measured it togetehr and it was in the repair zone. So that saved a good few squids...
I won't even use them for MoTs after they tried to screw me for a new steering rack.
Oh, yes they are.
I wonder if I am still barred from the Doncaster branch?

Shoplifting ?
You'll now be on their mailing list. In a month or two they will say they can do you a free safety check. Brakes, pads, dampers, exhaust, wiper blades as a minimum will require replacement.
I'd not be too sure they didn't screw up on the tyre change either. Scratched rims or massively overtorqued wheel bolts / nuts.
Having said that I got some worn tyres removed for free by a branch a few years ago so I could get the rims refurbished...but it was cheaper to buy two tyres online and get them fitted on my drive in the pouring rain than it was to buy just one from kwikfit and wait for half an hour in one of their rank oil and grime encrusted waiting rooms.

Few years ago had KwikFit mobile change a tyre on the wifes motability car. Couple of days later driving along and a very heavy banging started in the front. Immediate pullover and call to AA to discover one wheel hadn't been tightened at all ...
nah - carjacking. Oh, hang on a mo...
Kwikfit are not that good at carjacking either.
