Anyone else had problems with Kwik Fit's Air Conditioning recharge?

I got a verbal assualt from a certain individual on here who failed to understand my using large type to warn people of just this outfit, but on average there are 2 posts a week from people who are stung or are subjected to an attempted sting.

The letters should be 10 feet tall. :eek::eek::eek:

and kwik fit "mobile specialist"

i took my leased work van there other week as thats who tyre contract is with,the whole impression of kwik fit is poor.young lads that get in and out of peoples cars while wearing very dirty clothes,no sign of seat covers or floor mats.
the thought of getting them to do anything to a vehicle i actually own would fill me with dread.
they cannot even fit tyres properly i had to go back for a re-balance because they cocked it up.

I had my air con done this week at Kwik fit in Burton. It had never worked in the 2 years I've owned the car so I was expecting them to tell me it was dead and would need fixing, but no, they refilled it and now it's like sitting in a fridge. The only complaint I have is that it took over two hours (and I booked in advance) so I'd recommend not planning to do anything in a hurry if you take it there! Other than that I can't knock them - after reading the horror stories here I was worried!

KwitFit type places are only any good at fitting tyres and nothing else....

I would even question that statement.

I would expect most people who have used KwikFit have had problems in general.

KwikFit is all about money making without customer assistance

Not used KwikFit, but used many fast fits, never had an issue.

I take it to you "sassy" every possible "fast fit" franchise employee is out to steal from you?

Seeing as YOU are the person who changes your tyres with 5mm on them?!

Thread is old, but the KwikFit air-con offer is a good one, I recomend it to people.

A two month old thread!

What's with the necroposting?

My brother had his service done at nationwide autocentres and one of the mechanics there actually said dont go to the other branch (2 miles away) because they do rip people off to meet targets!
