Ok i think every one should use quickfit as they are amazing!!!

I went into kwik fit in Derby to get my front wheels balanced, a simple task you would think....

Firstly i went in knowing my wheels were out of blance asked them to balance the front. After checking the 1st wheel the guy comes back to say yes its not balanced, so i thought ok fair enough get to it, anyways he balances and comes back to check that im sure i want the 2nd wheel doing, so i say yes and he runs off and check it and then comes back to tell me yes this one is indeed out of balance by this time im thinking hes probably a retard and really just cant do the job with out confirmation.... the story contunes

So anyways he finaly finish's balacing the wheels after about 40 minutes of pissing about running backwards and forwards and then begins to put the wheels back on and yet again he comes back and says there is a problem so at this point im thinking i could have trained a monkey to do a better job ;S He then proceeds to get his manager who explains to me how my wheel nuts must have had metal fatigue as they have snapped 2 of the wheel nuts into the hub :S
But what amazed me most was they said they didnt fix problems like that and that i would have to find some who could ! and billed me the full amount and just sent me on my way with 2 wheel nuts :S
So just went home drilled them out and put 2 new ones on.

the moral of the storyNEVER use kwik fit in derby if you want a working car after!

THoughts running through my mind are

a) why didnt you chin him! :lol:
b) hit him with a cro bar :D
c) run him over :wink:

They are such a bunch of tools they really are. And it seems to be in every kwick fit location. Perhaps thats how they recruit them :shock:

I always take the wheels in on there own if i need anything doing.

One good thing i will say about Kwik Fit is the fact they do not charge for removing tyres from rims, only the fitting.

a guy on clio sport took his valver in and because it was low it hit the ramp when it was coming off.
Also he zoomed off the ramp and didnt take it slow, they had K.O'd his fanimold n exhaust and blamed the owner as his car was too low

lol...charged him n everything!

exactly, he has still gotta fix his exhuast now tho.

major companies like these dont give a shit about run of the mill old cars, they only look after the over £30 grand cars.

best goin to a private garage

I'm always bemused when I hear storys like this and people pay in full. Personally I would refuse flatly to pay them until they fixed the damage they caused. If they still refused to do so I would get the keys and drive off. I would then call my cousin (who happens to be a solicitor) and get him to send a letter to their head office stating that if they are liable for the damage and if they didn't pay to fix the car in 7 days he would take legal action. You'd be surprised to see how quick they would cough up for the damage they caused!
