Good luck with the complaint though.
Or the fact someone would replace perfectly good and legal tyres and then still go back to the a***holes @ Kwikfit:(0 -
In other words they screwed you.:D0

I once used Kwik-Fit about 20 years ago to replace the back box on my old MG Metro's exhaust. After waiting over an hour they told me it was ready, I took one look at it and asked why it was so small (it looked more like a pea-shooter :eek:) they told me it was the "new style", and being only 19 I took their word for it, paid and left. I drove half a mile down the road and realised something was not right, there was hardly any power (no quips about an MG Metro & power please
). So drove it straight back, spoke to the manager who looked at it and admitted it was the wrong back box, apologised and got someone to replace it straight away.
I have never used them since and never would again.0 -
Here is Honest John's Good Garage guide. Look up a garage on this list that is close to you. Do not use kwik-fit ever again.I try not to get too stressed out on the forum. I won't argue, i'll just leave a thread if you don't like what I say.0

Surely the correct course of action is to contact VOSA and appeal the test result.
Changing two good tyres probably won't help ... sorry.0 -
If you have an mot test anywhere and think that it shouldnt have failed on something then ask for an appeals form. Vosa will then get involved and if the garage is having you over will get inspected and they wont want that.
Please remember that you will have to turn up to an appeals inspection without doing any repairs on the vehicle0 -
After contacting them 4 times with emails and sending a letter they still have not got back in touch with me---
just a vent from me and yes i was fully aware of kwik fit before i went and what they have done in the past but a simple MOT could not be that hard for them.
