Kwik fit are a rip off. I got caught doing my MOT with them once. I didn't get the repairs done there - they wanted £600 for something to do with the exhaust that cost me £70 at an independent garage. They signed off the MOT when I went back but wanted an extra £10 for doing so. Real rip off merchants - I hope they go out of business (she said vindictively.... :-)

Tyres are another thing. If you find you need one as a result of an MOT, before you shell out £40 for a new one with the garage, I would maybe check our wreckers. We picked up a perfectly good tyre at our local wreckers for £10.

Cymru am beth, (and a bit less rain would be nice :-) and down with Kwikfit and all garages like them forever!

Cant believe I wasted £35 on an MOT with those idiots !!!!

p.s. Nationwide autocentres are just as bad in my experience...

What was the result?

Well, it did Fail again as expected.

Handbrake cable is knackered so waiting to get a new one from Kia.
As for the exhaust mount, no attempt to sell me a new exhaust just said it was easy to sort out.

No mention of headlight since I tightened the one bolt.

Much better. Feel as if I'm being told the truth this time.
