Kwikfit - Charles st, LEICESTER - Worst experience ever
Worst experience ever. You get better service from those tyre places next to a car wash!!!
The reception is probably the dirtiest I've ever seen in a place!
So many dead flies and insects all along the window cil, so many spider webs every where.
I had to wait in this kind of reception area!!
WILL NEVER USE AGAIN.
Had a puncture on monday night.
Called kwickfit to see if I can get mobile unit out they said earliest would be friday!
If I take it into a centre, charles st, earliest is Wednesday if its booked in.
If I just took it in without an appointment I would have to wait around and see if and when they can fit me in.
So I chose the booked in option.
Appointment booked for 11.30 for a tyre replacement / repair.
Got there and the branch manager said leave me your keys and it will be done in an hour !!!
What was the point for an appointment if I had to wait around ? I would have been better of just taking it into them on tuesday - I still would have been waiting around.
An hour is up and he comes to me and says: compressor machine has stopped working, I cant fill air into the tyre! His staff (the only staff member that was there with him) has to take my tyre to abbey lane kwick fit to put air and ballance the wheel.
45 mins later = 1:15pm, the branch manager sitting at the desk just shouts! your good to go!
My keys were just left on the other side of the desk, and I just happen to see them!
No apology, no explanation as to what work has been done, wether it was a tyre replacement or if it was a repair.
No thank you, No paper work, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
As I about to walk out of reception his colleague says if the tyre pressure light is still on give me a shout I'll sort it.
I start my car reverse it and the light is still on, so I call him over and tell him the lights still on,
He replies = well how far have you driven!
I was confused and asked what do you mean, I just reversed the car.
He then replies = did Mercedes not teach you how to use your car!
I said no and he replied saying well you need to speak to Mercedes service team to show you things!
He re-set the tyre pressure light, while he was being rude and sarcastic to me.
I asked for his name and his boss name since it was only 2 of them, and he gave me the names and abruptly said why have you got a problem? I replied yes, the customer service is absolutley shocking and the experience is horrific, that's why.
He then replies- I took your tyre in my own vehicle to abbey lane to get it sorted I dont know what's anymore customer experience than that!!!
WOW!!
I just like to point out a few extra bits:
1) kwick-fit or the staff including the manager you are not doing me any favours.
2) If you work on a car then it is your responsibility to re-set the menu / options.
I.e if you take your car in for a service its the garage that would re-set the service menu!!
3) You need to be put in a training room and be taught how to provide the basic level of customer service and manners.
4) To be taught the bare minimum level of cleanliness / Hygiene (Dead flies, spider webs every where.
I called the kwick fit customer service line and complaint about the lack of customer service and the experience I recieved - apprently i should recieve a phone call within 5 working days from the area manager after his / hers investigation!!.
What good is a phone call going to be for me ??
I have also notified and complained to the car fleet dealership who advised me to use kwick-fit in the event of a flat tyre, so that they also are aware of the shocking customer service kwick fit provide to their customers
