No, but on the way out I was fortunate enough to hit several of their 'mechanics'0 -
Why wouldn't you take it back to the garage which put it through the MOT ?0

As I stated, that's just what I'm going to do.
As it was Good Friday they weren't open and I was passing Kwik Fit so took it in there. (Have learnt my lesson there, and after reading BBC watchdog's website wish I'd had that knowledge beforehand)
People are under the impression I was driving without brakes at all. They were soft but still worked.0 -

That's what I will find out when I take it to my reputable garage on Tuesday.
My question is, how are they (Kwik Fit) still able to run as a business when there are so many people being regularly ripped off (according to Watchdog) by being told they need unnecessary work done?0 -

but depends on what caused the leak.. could be a leaky wheel cylinder or a failed master cylinder..Sealed pot challenger # 10

The price is unreal. I've had my issues with kwik fit. Like fitting an incorrect brake caliper! which they had to "modify" to fit. which caused the caliper to fail!0
