“Booked KwikFit mobile online to replace two tyres early this morning. Note that I could have used a local option, National tyres or Halfords who were also offering slots next day. In the booking process I was offered a choice of available slots. I chose and needed next day. Paid my £320 over and subsequently received my confirmation email - all good. No. Less than an hour later I received an email saying they couldn’t make the slot they’d committed to (the only reason why I went with KwikFit in the first place). The email stated they could fit two days after my confirmed slot at the earliest (but it wasn’t clear that they would actually be turning up). I called KwikFit. Took an hour to get through. They didn’t seem to think taking my money and confirming that it would take 5 days to refund it was an inconvenience and they couldn’t understand why waiting an extra three days for tyres was an inconvenience either. I was promised they would try and see if they could do something (offer me an improved appointment option) and I would receive a call within 30 minutes. 6.5 hours later no call (no missed call or email) I called AGAIN to chase. I assume they have finished for the day. So I don’t know what this company is intending to do with their failed commitment for my £320. I will have to find another £320 to get a competent business to help sort my tyre needs out while I wait for a refund. This is not the first time KwikFit have done this to me. I gave KwikFit the benefit of the doubt but never again.”

“Kwik Fit Kendal. I would give minus figures if I could! Absolute CHAOS - cars everywhere - blocking the main road - no one really knew what was going on! Booked in for MOT (and a prior appointment to fix two necessary things I knew it needed). Was told they had no record of the booking! Because they didn't have time to sort the problem, MOT couldn't take place. Appointment was at 10.30 and I was only told at 2pm that nothing could be done! I don't live in Kendal. A wasted day! DO NOT be fooled by low prices. The stress of it won't be with it! Am still awaiting a refund which I'm sure I'll have to chase up!”

“Nightmare company to deal with who have wasted my time, been unprofessional, unreliable and made continous problems for me instead of resolving them over the last 18 months. Do not use Kwik Fits services. I have been given 2 faulty batteries by them within 18 months. I have had to have 2 emergency call outs to restart my car. The very batteries they have fitted I was informed were incorrect and ill fitted and would not pass anMOT failure according to several external car mechanics. Centre Managers do not call you back. Customer Services do not call you back. Customer services assure you they have spoken with Centre Managers, yet when you arrive they tell you no such conversation has taken place. What a joke. I have had bad experiences in 2 centres in London and 1 in Oxford. There is a 15 minute average wait at every centre which always seems to be under staffed and without reception cover. Also Customer Services put you on hold for 15 minutes. This is not just one Centre it is an organisational incompetency and unprofessionalism. I will not be stepping foot in their doors ever again.”

“Took my car for MOT and they failure the mot because the DPF was cat into 2 to be cleaned with dpf cleaner and jet wash , the DPF have a zigzag shape that is why it was split into 2 too be properly cleaned Job was perfectly done, DPF became just like new So what is the purpose of a DPF , it’s to catch smoke, so they could see what there was no smoke coming out of the exhaust that means that the DPF is there but they still failed the MOT And they take far too long to do a mot like 1 hours , they are too slow and useless , won’t recommend to anyone”

“Kwik Fit Melton Mowbray carried out my major service and MOT last year. Hideously expensive and a long list of recommendations for work they wanted to carry out. Subsequently I was forced off the road by an HGV and caused damage to a wheel. Kwik Fit Melton said I would have to buy a new wheel and quoted nearly £500. I asked them if this really was the only option and met a stone wall of silence. So I made some enquiries and found a small, independent garage in Melton which was able to repair the wheel for £85! I received my Kwik Fit MOT reminder recently and instead went to a local garage who gave me a courtesy car, a major service and MOT and fitted two new tyres, advising me that though there were a couple of advisories I would not need further work till this time next year...and all for well under £500. Honest, helpful and well priced for what was done. I will avoid Kwik Fit in future...the Melton staff were not particularly friendly, don't always answer the phone and certainly want to rack up the bill as high as possible...perhaps they should remember that some women customers do actually understand how the internal combustion engine works, know roughly what needs doing and know absolutely when they are being taken for a financial ride! This centre needs a visit from managers and maybe some inhouse training. Post Covid, people are shopping around and Kwik Fit may well lose a significant number of customers. Shake your ideas up, Kwik Fit!”

“I am writing this review straight away after returning from the Redhill Kwik-Fit centre. I am not sure how 5 star reviews are given or am I the unlucky one but I'll write it anyways. Where do I start - Firstly I don't believe my vehicle was worked upon straightaway after drop-in as I was around the centre for a few hours and I don't think work was started until noon. I was told I'll be given a call on the repair cost but got a call at 16:15 (centre closes at 5 pm) that some of the spares were incorrectly delivered so could not fix the defects on the car. I am not sure I believe that as it can't be all spares were incorrectly delivered. On the servicing part I again not sure if oil and other things were indeed changed as I checked the oil stick and it's dark as coal. Secondly the checklist document states everything is OK when I know for sure that the suspension coil spring is broken. Looks like a tick box exercise has been undertaken. I had to explicitly ask for a print of the checklist wherein I know that it's a standard print to be provided with the receipt. The staff were not rude but I did not find them the friendliest of the lot but not the main concern. I took my car based on the reviews but completely disappointed and never again will step into a Kwik fit centre ever again. I am raising a formal complain with Kwik fit as I want to know if I was given the service for the amount I paid. I would not recommend this centre.”

“Hastings Centre - never disappointed in the customer service and friendliness when we get there. My wife's an NHS nurse and when we collected her car after having a puncture repaired there was no charge. It's little things like that that make the world go round a tiny bit better. Thanks”

“Just a quick note to say thank you to Andy and John on the Nottingham Mobile Tyre Van (728), really lovely guys. I'd booked a tyre change mobile service and the first thing they did was check the tyres and tell me that they didn't need a change at the minute, with 4mm left on all of them. I'd been wrongly informed by another garage. Totally appreciate the honesty of the guys - it would have been very easy to not let me know and change them anyhow. Will definitely be booking again when they are needed. Thank you.”

“Turned up bang on time for a tyre fitting 30 mins slot to be told that they'd parked a van in the way of their hoist, so it would be at least 40 mins. Got a phone call after 25mins and returned, to be told they couldn't find the locking nut (usual place!) and it would be another 30 mins minimum. I didn't have another 30 mins, left and tried to contact customer services. Forget it - 40 mins and counting on hold. Kwik? Definitely not Quick. Go elsewhere.”

“Had two visits to the Dumfries branch, was asked to return again on a third visit before I could get a price to replace my exhaust and front tyre. I decided to go to a different garage and got sorted with 40 mins. Will not return and certainly won't recommend to anyone”

“Filled gas in my car and it leaked with in 1 month. took it back and they charged additional £35 to diagnose. Told me to wait for 20 days or alternatively take it to one in Bletchley which will possibly do it quicker. Called them and now they want to diagnose it again since it was not done by 'Master Technician'. when ask why they are diagnosing again. guy promptly said its best to wait for the first branch. Seriously pathetic service. Would avoid as much as possible.”

“Had new front breaks fitted today and was meant to have the back done as well but the back disks are an odd ball size, so the guys at Anlaby - Hull were very accommodating and re-booked the car back in when they get the parts that are needed. The service was great and they kept me informed on every thing that was happening.”
