Kwik Fit MOT £25

I've just had my car MOT done at Kwik Fit.
Booked online £35 and used a promotional code (thanks to RickT on HUK) to get an extra £10 off. Cheapest MOT I could find by miles.
They were efficient (took an hour), friendly and despite reading negative feedback about Kwik Fit, I was very happy with the service.
Promotional Code: CAPKF9800 (It's a Capital One code)

Hopefully this helps someone else.

    Personally I would not take a chance. (Even if it were free)
    I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.

    Oh they are on my blacklist in big bold capitals! Hope it doesn't happen to you but chances are they will have loosened something off or popped a wee hole in your exhaust so you have to go back and get ripped off for a new exhaust.:mad:

    Oh dear, I'm very worried now I've read the Kwik Fit thread.
    Fingers crossed they didn't tamper with my car.

    I think cheap mots can be false economy anyway because you have to think about the cost of any repairs they identify. They make the mot cheap to hook you in then make the cost of repairs extortionate. Far better to find a reliable local garage who might charge a bit more for the test but will give you a fair price for other work. If you have the test then take your car elsewhere for repairs it's a hassle to organise a retest and might incur further costs.
  • I had my car MOT'd and serviced there last year and no problems. MOT due again so need to get it booked in - was going to use qwik fit again but now starting to feel paranoid!!
