“Appalling!!!!! No accidents or points, no changes in my policy at all but renewal had more than double. Which I am certain I was not informed of renewal to promt my memory to cancel at that price! Going through complaints, I have paid in 4 month what I paid for my annual insurance last year. Disgusted and will be taking the company further on the Ombudsman if I do not get money back or hugely discount for the rest of the year! DO NOT USE THEM!!”
“Kwikfit's renewal quote was twice the amount that I found with another insurer online. Unbeknownst to me KwikFit renewed my insurance policy and then sent a menacing letter demanding payment for a policy I had not requested them to renew. When I phoned up I was treated rudely and told that although they were now cancelling the policy, I still owed them for the cover (that I never requested) prior to my phone call. To avoid this I must now write to them with proof of my other insurance, which is a bit of a hassle. I will avoid this company in future.”
“This company assists with making false insurance claims and scams- I received a phone call from them about an accident I was supposedly involved in in May 2013 - this was totally incorrect and I even assisted in full with the investigation - even allowing then to view my car but despite this they have lodged this non accident on my insurance so naturally I am advising their regulatory body accordingly - AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COST”
“We received a renewal letter for my wife's car insurance which doubled in price from 500 pounds to 1001 pounds no accidents in the last five year no offences in the last five years as this is an automatic mattic renewal we went onto a site comparison and got the insurance for 480pounds with Churchill when we rang kwik fit to cancel the policy they told us this was not their best deal but still could not match Churchill offer just wonderd if any one else has been caught out C Taylor”
“KEEP KLEAR...
I cancelled my home ins with kwikfit after 7 months and got a threatening letter stating I have an outstanding balance of £103.67 and if I did not pay it
STEP 1. WE WILL PASS YOUR DETAILS ON TO A DEPT COLLECTION AGENCY
STEP 2. IF YOU STILL DO NOT PAY, WE MAY TAKEFURTHER LEGAL ACTION AGAINST YOU AND PROVIDE INFORMATION TO CREDIT REFERENCE AGENCIES WHICH MAY AFFECT YOUR ABILITY TO SECURE CREDIT ELSWHERE.
This is the 2nd time I have used this company the 1st was car ins I took out for 6 month cover and when it finished I was quoted about the same as I paid for the 6 month for 12 month.
The 3rd time is when I took my car in for an MOT it failed on DISCS AND PADS on the front I was quoted over £300 by them and got then done at another garage for £128. + vat.
So wont be going to KWIK RIP OFF AGAIN.
SO NOW I KNOW WHY THEY GOT THEIR NAME KWIKFIT THEY HAVE WAYS OF GIVING YOU A FFFFFFFIIIIITTTTTTTT.”
“This is the worst insurance company you will ever find, if you have an accident or need help with any thing all they will do is pass you on to Allianz, there nearly impossible to get hold of, I would rather walk then insure my car with these people avoid like the plague”
“Same as every company. Hike your price at renewal and hope the customers ignorance lets it automatically renee. Spoke to Deborah Maguire and she is a boss there and she says it's how bizniss is run”
“Absolutely appaling service. I had an accident. Called 5 different 'kwik-fit' numbers. All put me through to the same service where I spent several minutes each time going through a range of options 'to help improve their service'. Eventually, every call would just hang up - so my car is just stuck by the roadside. Could have simply told me they were closed when I first rang instead of going through all that crap. System written by idiots.”
“crap company people stay well clear can not contact them to change my car policy plus my online account is absolute useless with them to view any documents or change a policy details waste of time stick to fitting tyres cowboys”
“WINDOW SMASHED ,TOOK KWICK FIT NEARLY SIX WEEKS TO REPLACE!

“Every interaction with this company has been appalling. Do not insure with Kwik Fit - god help you when your patience is tested to the limit when you need to urgently speak to them about anything, like a break-down.”
“Nothing positive to say absolute joke company took money without giving me any insurance cover and never reply to emails and well good luck if you try to call must only have one lazy person on other end and unless you want to waste a day of your life on hold ..... buy cover elsewhere !!!”
“Awful.never answers the phone.cannot get any documents even after setting up my it account.11 days after paying in full still no certainty l am insured.they don't know what they are doing.avoid.”
“Awful company. Please don't go to them. They asked for some documents I emailed faxed texted still claims have't received the documents and as I have missed the deadline I have to pay £100 for cancellation. The insurance policy was £400 all together 30% cancelation fee for something which was never started at the first place”
“In an accident but driver was uninsured, kwik fit washed there hands and referred me to the underwriters who have given me nothing but hassle, no courtesy car, no repair to my car even though I'm pay fully comp. kwik fit appears in my bank statement not the underwriters. If you have any brains give them a wide berth, oh and most of all if you change job or if you get a job even if the car does not get used remember to call kwik fit”
