I needed a new battery for my car, called Clevedon branch they said they did not have one. Tried Weston branch no luck there. Tried to ring Nailsea no answer so drove over. They were to busy and that was ok, so arranged for 14/05/20. I asked do you need car reg they said no. Well do you have batteries in stock? Yes, I will call you Thursday and the technician turned to leave. I said you might want to take my number then. Oh yeah. Never got a call. This is disgraceful customer service. Went back to Clevedon branch to order a battery to be told we have them in stock, I said had a delivery then? He said no we've had these type in all week. Very poor practise.

they wanted over £800 for MOT 'repairs' which turned out most were not needed -I paid less than £300 in another garage! Complete con artists, would never ever go to kwik fit again..thank god I got a second opinion

I’ve been to Kwik Fit twice in for an MOT, once last year and again last weekend. I found the staff to be friendly and informative on my last visit so I chose to go agin this year for an MOT The major reason I am leaving a little 1 star is because of the terribly misinformed information I was given about to the change in law regarding MOT failures!! With no dangerous faults on my vehicle AND 1 week remaining on my current MOT I was told that it would be ILLEGAL to drive my car on the roads as of that day INCLUDING COMMUTING TO WORK. I had 1 week remaking on my MOT and was told that branch couldn’t fix it for 2/3 weeks. I rely on my car to get me to work, I can’t afford time off. Found out today that’s not exactly correct. READ THE CHANGE IN LAW YOURSELF! I took it on good faith I was being told the correct information and it has cost me a weekend of stress, rushing around and nearly £1200 for a new car i didn’t need for repair I could have fixed for £300/£400 in the coming week! The whole experience and information I was told has left me feeling like an idiot and I’m enraged. Based on that I will don’t think I’ll be going back

Had my MOT at Erith Kwikfit. Car was failed on several major faults all linked to suspension arm and drop links. However, had replaced the drop links previous year so was concerned. Took the car to another garage the next day and it passed without any problems at all. Went back to Kwikfit to question their MOT and received a hostile response. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. They are a massive rip off and if I had left my car there to have the ‘faults’ rectified I would have been looking at a £600-£700 bill. BE WARNED.

Took my car for MOT to the Erith Branch and was told that before they could carry out the MOT I needed to pay for 6l of engine oil bcos the engine oil in the car was low otherwise my car engine will knock. . After the MOT, I was told there was a nail in my tyre and needed 2 buy new tyres, and front & rear break pads needed replacing as well as 2 brake discs quoting £500. As I didn't plan to spend that amount on a 3 year old car, I said I will bring it back at the end of October. I took it to Ancaster Nissan for full car service and was told I only need 1 tyre, and the other tyre with the nail was repaired. For the brake pads, they can still go another 15000 miles, after which they will recheck it to see if it needs replacing. The discs dont need changing at all. In total, I paid £380 for a full service, repair of a tyre and replaced a new tyre. The same would have cost £800+ with Kwit Fit even though it was the manager that attended to me at Kwit Fit.

Usual nonsense walk in with a simple fixable puncture and they provide a list of nonsense reasons why you need two brand new tyres - this time ‘well gravel tyres are not good for tyres!!!’ - Kwik Fit should not commission operatives on tyre sales!!!!

Booked a same day mobile tyre fitting. Took my booking, time slot & money. Booking confirmation received. An hour later a phone call received to say they couldn’t do it today and it would be a two day wait before they could proceed. Refund would take 3-5 days. Why take the booking if you can’t do it. Dishonest. Now stranded.

Wrong work completed. Overcharged. Fitted incorrectly left unsafe to drive. Managers resolution was to take old part to he welded on by a third party. Told couldn't get correct part..they didn't exist. Yet main dealer confirmed it did. Had diagnostic at main dealer and confirmed £810 to put right... Already paid £,844 for unnecessary work already. Car unsafe to drive for 2 weeks. Put in complaint and sent video and photographic evidence to customer care who did not respond just passed on to area manager. who basically called me a liar . The manager and technician had covered their tracks with lies. I can prove im not a liar as phone calls are recorded. I have video of unsafe work. Husband there for face to face conversations so have another person to confirm. I had an exhaust held on by silicon. Area manager said bring in new exhaust and they will fit it .. yet on Kwik fit website it says it's not their policy to fit parts brought in by customers . Don't know where to go now to escalate ..plus there's defamation of character. Having repair done by main dealer costing £810 for parts. I feel so upset and abused and it's been the most distressing upsetting experience. They should be shut down . They are criminals and they say I'm a liar. Disgusted doesn't come close.

Kwik fit canal street Perth should be 0 stars Avoid, dishonest and took advantage of my 22 year old daughter, more interested in upselling than providing good customer service. When complained they deny what they actually said. You can’t win. Will be raising a complaint with the motor ombudsman and trading standards.

I booked and paid for a brake fluid change (on-line) last night and was given a 12 noon slot to take my car to the Brighouse branch of Kwik Fit. I arrived a few minutes early and was asked to leave my car/key with them. I asked why? and was told that they were very busy and had lots of jobs in. I said that I was willing to leave it for an hour (brake fluid changes are not time-consuming) only to be told that they couldn't tell me when it would be ready. He said that as well as the fluid change, they had to undertake a 45 minute brake check! I told him to cancel the job as I hadn't got all day to await it. He then tells me that I can't have a refund today because I had paid on-line, and that the employee who deals with refunds wasn't in. I drove a 12 mile round trip and wasted time/diesel to be treated like my custom is pretty much worthless. Don't let them get away with this disgraceful way of treating customers. Terrible service.

Really bad customer service which may cost us about 4000 pounds. Kwikfit Giffnock on Fenwick Road, Glasgow incorrectly entered the mileage during Mot in 2022 to my wife’s car adding 20000 miles onto the mot certificate. Then said they couldn’t change it and would have to go through another mot so they could add a note onto the new mot…this was done but now my wife’s car can’t be taken as a part exchange worth 4000 pounds when buying a new car as the system at the national mileage register has not been updated and kwikfit are stating they can’t contact dvsa to change the mistake as there is NO proof of the original mileage in the first place and even though it is clear that it is the testers mistake, Kwikfit say there is nothing they can do with regards to an official change at dvsa. All they can do is issue an apology but that doesn’t help the situation as anyone taking the car as part exchange is insisting that this register be updated instead of showing a 20k mileage doscrepency when the cars mileage os searched.Now my wife is u able to sell this car. Customer service person who is apparently the manager at customer care team at kwikfit confirms this is all Kwik-Fit can do in this case.

Went in for a tyre tracking at Eirth branch came out with extras… damages to the car bonnet. Don’t expect the staff to acknowledge the damaged, they just laugh at your face, very rude, its your words against theirs unless you took extra measures by taking pictures of your car’s condition beforehand. Let’s just say, we will never be using Eirth Kwik-Fix again. Visit Eirth Kwik-Fix at your own risk, the management does not take any responsibility for any damages to your car made by any member of staff. You have been WARNED!

I have only given 1 star as can't give a minus ! Car booked in for service and MOT for 10 weeks - paid upfront. Arrived at the centre to be told "we don't do an MOT on a MONDAY". I could go into all the ins and outs of the conversation that followed but I wont bore you all. Suffice to say, they lied about trying to contact me, their customer complaints email seems to disappear into the great beyond and their refund policy is a very unfunny joke - took my cash 10 weeks before my appointment but apparently I have to wait a minimum of 10 days to get a refund !! CLOWNS - BUT KILLER ONES !!

Took my car to the kwikfit garage In Bridgend where the manager Paul Watkins took my car for a service whilst there I was advised that there were some issues that needed fixing asap and my Mot was due and I asked him if any cancellations could he squeeze me in as I didn’t want to pay for repairs if it failed Mot he was more than obliging . He phoned me the next morning said there was a cancellation and then phoned to explain what it had failed on and the cost of the repairs . I explained I was a single parent and could not afford to do the advisory’s only the necessary things to pass Mot he understood and I asked if I could have my car back the next day as I needed it for a journey I was making today and he phoned me last night to say the car would be ready this morning for collection 5* customer service and communication from Paul , Rob and his team at the Bridgend branch would highly recommend this garage just for the quality of the staff alone. Collected my car promptly this morning all ready to go thank you boys you all deserve a raise .

Recently took a punctured tyre into Kwikfit Deal, the repaired it and charged me £30...After a day the tyre lost pressure, i took it back to be repaired properly! It was a small nail in the tread. They rang me and said the repair had been badly done and i would need a new tyre saying they would discount it as it was their fault. offered £30 off £211 tyre..Obviously this wasn't a discount as they were only refunding the poor repair..The tyre was then 179 I checked on two local garages and the price was £164....Never again!
