I had done my MOT and service from kwik fit, and not happy with the work they done. After that service and MOT i hear a clicking noise from front wiber and took my car to them, they say they dont touch wiber for MOT and cant check that.

I booked my car to save few quid instead end up with £800 and more new problem was created by them as well.

    Viber is an application for iPhone and Android phones that lets you make free phone calls and send text messages to anyone who also has the application

    Scratches head .... :)

    £800 for an MOT and service, what did they do.:eek:

    On second thought lets guess, new discs, brake pads, and dampers.
  • i'm guessing you mean Front Windscreen wipers...

    If so they are part of the MOT,

    they must clear the drivers view adequately and the rubbers must not be peeling. If both of those points are ok and their just noisy well that wouldn't be their fault imo.

    Going to Crap Fit is an expensive mistake to make, do a search of these forums and see the numerous reports of them doing and charging for unnecessary work.

    Why did you choose kwikfit ?

    Dont you have any local independant garages you could have used ?

    They also sorted out your bank balance as its now much lighter.
