Booked a MOT at Nailsea branch and after a 30min wait they refused to test the car due to a faulty boot latch??? What they should have done is do the test they had been paid for and fail it on the fault, I then had to waste more time calling head office for the refund, the Nailsea manager was unhelpful and condescending, this is the second poor experience at this branch and it will be the last.

DON'T BOTHER... Had two front tyres replaced , on driving home I noticed that the tyre pressures are 35 & 38psi. One must be wrong! or both!. When I returned home contacted Kwik fit and asked what the correct tyre pressures are "they're on the A post" the manager replied, so why can't your stupid lazy fitter have had a look. "Bring the car back and we will adjust the tyres" So you want me to spend the day driving to and from Kwik fit? Sometimes the tyres read higher and need to be driven for a while 🤔😂😂. I'm trying hard not to think what may happen should this fitter work on a car that safety critical

Appalling. Booked online for a full service 5th Aug. Arrived to be told technician off sick for 6 weeks. Despite having my email & mobile number no prior cancellation message to let me know. I booked the service on 9th July & paid the £200 deposit. This is yet to be refunded having been told 3-4 working days.

Stranded with a flat tyre because kwik fit couldn't be bothered to fit it!! Absolutely appalling service from kwik fit in Bath. I turned up with an emergency flat tyre that was unsafe to drive on. I arrived at 15:30 on a Sunday. The worker couldn't be bothered to change my tyre as he wanted to go home early instead. I was left stranded 200 miles from home and had to resort to buying the tyre from kwik fit and using another company (at further expense) to fit it in the kwik fit car park! The change took less than 15 minutes. The technician was also shocked that kwik fit refused to change it. Absolutely diabolical service, avoid, avoid, avoid

Booked to have my tyres changed on the drive, 2 weeks in advance so they could order the tyres - day of fitting no show, no call, after 20mins on hold was told that they would call me back - 2 hours later was told tires hadn’t come in and they would be out tomorrow, second day exactly the same storey Two days wasted, no calls no communication - appalling service

My Heart Is Bleeding!!! I searched around found the cheapest MOT £30 with Kwik Fit, at the end I spent just under £1000!!! Their service was no problems, but I spent too much, I am broke ! I have tried to book for a cheapest MOT of £30 then I found Qwik Fit, then they suggested on the website said doing MOT and a Full Service would safe money, and then I went for MOT and Full Service. My car is MINI Cooper 2017 which is quick new with a very lower mileage when my late husband bought it two years ago. After I took the car in, they call me said my brake had serious problems, and my car has a lot of other problems too, brake must be changed, otherwise will be so danger for my safety, I agreed it was danger for me. At last,costed me just under £1000.00! And they were very kind to give me £14 discount back. I have checked on google, the parts for the car they changed for me are quick cheap online, does any one can tell me whether mini cooper has special part much more expensive than others showed online? And my car is quite new, and it has never had any badly collision. We bought from a BMW mini cooper proper dealer garage in Yovil. I am unemployed, can't find a job, jobs everywhere i saw, no one wanted to give me a job. I am ill since my husband die and waiting for a surgery, I worked so hard for selling my husband's old things for my daily living, in 3 and 4 months I made nearly £1000, which needs to deduct the patrol costs, the postage, wrapping materials, I don't know how much left. I've never bought a burger, a cup of tea from the Carboots sell, always brought some my own food or starving waiting to be back home cook for myself. We have a house for sale but haven't got a penny from it, even when i get it, I will share the founds with step daughter and sons. But I have to spend my own saving for a four bedroom house which I only need a room, or even a bed. The thing is: did this car really need to change everything and spent that such a large lump of bills? Maybe people think why I drive a good car. Because my husband had carcer, needed me to take him very far away for his chemotherapys, that was why he bought a very reliable car, with the lowest mileage on the market at that time incase the car had problems, disrupted me to take him to hospital immediately for his bleeding as well. So my car I can see is quite reliable. I will attach my bill here, hope some kind of people could help me check whether they overcharged me for the units.

2 tyres ordered yesterday to fit today. Went today, 1 tyre changed, said he couldn't get the locking but off 2nd wheel. I actually watched him use his power drill to try to remove locking nut. The key was totally stripped and now useless. He blamed whoever's tightened the nuts on the last change had done them to tight. I have had my car 6 years and never a problem with locking nuts. Needless to say I went elsewhere for 2nd tyre. I ordered mid range tyre and was given , according to 2nd tyre firm, a budget tyre. £90. Fitting was £17. I thought fitting was included when you bought a tyre. Never again. Will make a point of seeing manager.

Largs branch were supposed to align my wheels, however they tried not to give me the print out of the before and after results which they are supposed to provide. I had to push hard to get the prints, however they were not properly filled in and had someone else’s registration number on my print. I assume the job was never done and I was fobbed off with someone else’s results. Customer service just keeps asking for online forms to be filled in but never replies, complete waste of time and money. Go to your local garage, these guys are con merchants. Next stop for me is trading standards !

Quickfit, went there for tracking after fitting new steering rack, he twisted the rubber gator's up and the steering wheel was still of. Rubbish job, and quite frankly a total bunch of cowboy's, quickshit would be a better name.

Kwik fit Telford DON'T GO THERE. I was there for a wheel alignment on first day they turn my of second day again the guy it wasn't there 3rd time I managed to go on ramp. For a wheel alignment the guy use a bar ????? After he call me to show that my mechanic forgot a screw loose and he can't touch it and I have to go back to him and after to come back to Kwik fit. I went to my mechanic and he tell my that he didn't have nothing to do with that screw. So they do it on purpose putting danger my life and my 2 years old dother just because they don't want to do it.

I visited Kwik-fit in Cleveleys near Blackpool as I had a puncture and was told to come back another day , on my second visit I waited 2 hrs to have this puncture repaired The office staff would walk past you never making eye contact not giving time to request how much longer you would have to wait , eventually the work was completed I paid their invoice and was told I would receive an email receipt , which I have never received to this day, Last week I returned to this outlet to have a puncture Repaired and was told they haven’t time to repair it , as in most cars these days I don’t have a spare wheel, they didn’t care if I was stranded staff friendliness and helpfulness is a 0 only interested in selling tyres , I would never set foot in any of their outlets again @ #crapcompany

Rubbish customer service, really unhelpful, refused to stamp service log after doing service work that was completely in line with service schedule, then I discovered they had put my unidirectional wheels on backwards. Totally incompetent, would never, ever use them again.

I'm not one to usually post a review but I'm disgusted by the lack of customer service at kwik fit, avoid at all cost!! Booked a mobile tyre fitter and paid up front. Fitter was a no show, there was no contact to advise they weren't coming after we waited all day (8.30am to 8.30pm time frame). We were unable to contact due to out of hours, spent a long time on hold this morning trying to get a refund but we were unable to get through to an agent. I finally got a call around midday saying they would move things around to get us in at 2pm, like they were doing us a favour. By then it was too late and we had found a great company who assisted us. As we here on holiday from Australia this has delayed our travel plans and caused major stress. Please don't waste your time and energy with this company!!

Took my car for MOT. Had filled the tank up to the hilt. On collecting the car noticed the fuel gauge was shy of full. Took it back to the petrol station and topped it up just shy of £10. I complained to the Kingston Road branch and was informed that the car is run for 45 minutes on the ramp. That could be the reason for short of fuel. Next time i shall do my MOT elsewhere.

Myself and my family have always purchased our tyres from QuickFit until today. I had a puncture and they told me quite rudely that they couldn't help me until Friday in two days time. I told them that wasn't good customer service seeing that my family and myself have always purchased our tyres and other services from them and we won't be using them anymore. I didn't tell them that I worked for the UK's largest employer the NHS and that we employ 3,500 staff locally. They watched me pump my tyre up and drive away not knowing if I would get to another tyre company. Staff need some customer care training they could have said we are really sorry we are unable to help you today because of? To be told quite rudely we can't do it until at least Friday really wasnt good enough. I did manage to get to another tyre company and they were able to supply me with a new tyre as the puncture was to close to the tyre wall. So goodbye KwickFit I shall make sure all my friends, family and staff are aware how I was treated today. I will add that this wasn't the first time that I had needed a puncture repair and they couldn't help me last time, I wrongky believed that that was due to lockduwn and not having many staff available but surely they should help NHS staff. I have given one star as it wouldn't let me leave less or minus

Had mot done in Jan, wasnt really happy that when i gave the bloke my keys he immediately unscrewed my pill pot i have on them with my allergy tablets in it while trying to hide what he was doing. Mot was done they told me it had the wrong bulbs in the car and as i had only just bought it 2nd hand yea they might have been but the others were in the boot. I was told the bulb bracket was broken and that i would have to come back maybe tomorrow maybe next week. They gave me my house keys back, they kept the car key. I had to walk home. I didnt notice they had changed the kingrings around and had taken my pill pot with my car key until i needed the tablets, my partner even noticed that normally they are on the house key not the car key. The next day i get a call the car is done and they arent going to charge for the bulb situation which i thought was weird… Anyway i walked back to collect my car (takes about an hour) when i arrived the car was still in the air on the MOT lift they said sorry we have a power cut, after i stood outside for nearly another hour waiting to see if the power was coming back on they asked if id like to go inside and sit down. I was there till gone lunch time and had someone pick me up in the end. I went back the next day to collect. Still no charge. But not really an apology, it was their fault i walked all the way there and when the car wasnt even on the ground. I would think the MOT is complete when the car is checked and off the ramp. A few months later i had the car serviced as they couldnt fit it in with mot i had already booked it separate with them, on mot was told needed new front breaks so had those done to. While car is in for service i get a call actually you need new rear breaks as well, i told them just get them done i dont want to be left with any advisories. That all went fine. 5 weeks after the full service and all new breaks the front drivers spring broke, it went into the tyre. I had someone recommended to me to fix it, they cane to the house told me they broke because the spring is really rusty and so was the mount. He showed me all this when he took them off. He put new mounts and springs on. He didnt say that the breaks looked new and that whom ever done those should have told you that the springs wernt in good condition and to complain. So i booked my car back in with kwik fit for the new tyre and asked asked how the spring managed to be missed when i had the service and breaks done the bloke i first spoke to said i was here when you had that done and i remember it was an advisory. I told him no i told the bloke i wanted no advisories left on the car anything that needs doing, do it. He said i can bring up the call for you they are all recorded i said yes, he then said actually the guy is here who did the service i will go get him. So he comes over and says the springs were fine nothing wrong with them that i could see. So how did they get so rusty and break in 5/6 weeks? He said it was down to discretion and he thought they were fine! Me:They CANT have been fine! They were rusty and broke. Him: well they can break at any time. Me: it takes longer than 5 weeks to get that rusty and break and i can tell you they are that rusty because they are in my front room! I then said did you manage to balance my tyre (as id already paid but i normally get that money back) Yes we have. How as the last time I was here i getting new tyres i was told ypu couldnt balance them and gave me the money back… He told me that when he started working there he bought a tool with him so that he could balance them. I asked him how long he had been there, he looked at computer (had my details on it) 2 months. Yea rite you can just see that on the screen. They do half a job! Stay away from them!

My husband booked someone to come out to change his flat tyre. He couldn't drive it as it was basically dragging off the floor. We paid Kwik Fit £92.50 for the service, 5 days later when the mechanic was due to arrive, he apparently phoned in sick, so was rescheduled for another 4 days, again, it was cancelled on their end. They claim they only have one driver. My husband demanded a refund as he needed his car for work, they've yet to refund him and now because the car has been sitting for over a week, the driver's side tyre now needs to be replaced. We managed to get someone to come out and replace both tyres within 20 minutes of making the phone call! Now we are £250 out of pocket, but, not to worry, because I am now taking legal action against Kwik Fit. They shouldn't be taking customers' money if they can't fulfil orders, and they certainly shouldn't be refusing refunds for work not carried out. Watch this space.

Review on appalling treatment at Kwik-fit, Berwick-upon-Tweed Preface I am a retired consulting engineer who enjoys the restoration of classic motor cars and also as an Advanced motorist I take my legal obligations on Road Traffic and Construction and use matters very seriously, I have been involved in the restoration of Jaguars, Rovers SAABs and Triumph motor cars and have a wealth of experience and expertise in all the engineering aspects of motor car design, for example a mechanic when asked why a certain figure is given for the torque on a particular bolt or nut, the mechanic’s reply typically would be that’s what the workshop manual states, in my career I was able to do the mathematical equation to assess the correct value. Background I identified an issue with a tyre on my car that would, in time require that the tyre be replaced. I have all the tools required to change a wheel in a totally safe manner, so I arrived at the depot with my tools and proceeded to remove the wheel prior to the replacement of the tyre. I was informed that the company would not allow this to happen and I was asked to replace the wheel so that the vehicle could be put on the ramp where in addition to changing the tyre a report on the vehicle would be undertaken, on the basis of the foregoing I decided that the company had no right to detain my car so that a report be compiled, my suspicion was that the company would look for additional work to be carried out so that a much higher bill be generated for this additional usually unnecessary work, I decided to leave the depot Observations That Kwik-fit has not changed its policy of trying to obtain as much money as possible from customers; you may ask how I have come to this conclusion? In 1984 I was employed as an internal auditor by Kwik-fit and as such I witnessed the sharp practices at various depots in and around the Edinburgh area, one memorable incident involved a senior citizen who was persuaded by the depot manager to purchase four new shock-absorbers he did not need, the manager in question said to me before the gentleman got out of his car that he would sell him four shock absorbers!!. I left the company, and several weeks later an article appeared in the Scottish Daily Record highlighting what I had already discovered Conclusion Due to the foregoing I would advise that any motorist should, under no circumstances use this company for the reasons given
