This is a warning to any potential customers for Kwik Fit. I recently took my car to Kwik Fit, Long Lane, Blackheath, which is listed as being in Halesowen on the website, for an MOT and a service. The service wasn't carried out properly, the work which was supposed to have been done hadn't been because the car was thoroughly checked independently on my return from Kwik Fit. Also the rear offside passenger door was very severely dented, completely staved in. The offside bumper is also very badly scratched. In short what is only a 3 year old car which was in perfect condition before Kwik Fit's so called mechanics got hold of it now looks like a beaten up, scratched and neglected old wreck. This is an appalling way to conduct what purports to be a professional business. I have never had any damage done to a car when I have taken it in to any independent garages in the past and this is the very first and very last time that I would ever entrust Kwik Fit to work on my car again. They are just a bunch of unprofessional cowboys. Also the fuel level was considerably lower when I came to collect the car than it had been when it was dropped in at Kwik Fit, which leads me to only one conclusion there...... So I would warn any future customers about the folly of choosing to take your car to Kwik Fit, Long Lane, Blackheath, Halesowen. This was a very expensive waste of time and has resulted in considerable damage being done totally unnecessarily to what is only a 3 year old car. It's an awful place and should be closed down as being not fit for purpose. They are rip off merchants of the very worst kind who obviously think that it's acceptable to damage their customer's cars. Do they get perverse pleasure out of doing this?????? Kwik Fit are the worst cowboy outfit I've ever encountered. So beware!
I was asked to contact Kwik Fit to discuss the damage and other issues that had been caused to my car. The interview was a non-starter because Matt Brookes, the arrogant and rude so called customer services rep for Kwik Fit had already made up his mind to deny any of the issues that I raised in my complaint. I received total dissatisfaction from this interview with this Matt Brookes, with whom I've had a very unhelpful and accusatory conversation. In short I have been accused of lying, that my car wasn't damaged by Kwik Fit employees, that no fuel was stolen from my car, and that the service wasn't carried out to any proper standard, and when I explained that on top of this distressing situation I have had to encounter a very recent and unexpected family bereavement, I have been met with NO sympathy and NO offer to redress the damage which has been caused to my vehicle. I am totally appalled.
If this is how customers of Kwik Fit are treated when they dare to make legitimate complaints against any damage occurring to their vehicle when they leave it with a so-called reputable car repair company, then I really do not want to be a customer of Kwik Fit in future and I deeply regret having taken my car to Long Lane, Halesowen in the first place.
The truth is that Kwik Fit is at fault but will not address the damage and other issues that have been caused to my car. It's always the easy option to apportion blame to an unwitting car owner, who has clearly misguidedly entrusted what was a 3 year old car with no damage on it to a COWBOY outfit of rip off merchants, and not accept blame that lies squarely at the rogue conmen who work at Kwik Fit Long Lane Blackheath, Halesowen.
SO BE WARNED DO NOT ENTRUST YOUR CAR TO A BUNCH OF COWBOYS WHO WILL DAMAGE YOUR CAR, NOT DO THE WORK ON IT THAT YOU HAVE PAID THEM TO DO AND THEN STEAL YOUR FUEL AS A PARTING SHOT. KWIK FIT ARE A DISHONOURABLE COMPANY AND DO NOT DESERVE TO HAVE ANY CUSTOMERS.
