I needed the front part (including cat. converter) for Xantia so I called to Kwik Fit at Yorkgate.
I was quoted £286 , I haggled and was offered it for £250. Naturally I felt delighted at the reduction but it had to be ordered and would take two days. So I left and headed to DC Exhausts at Kennedy Way Belfast and was I glad I did!!
Very helpful and wait for it -£150!!!!! Yes £100 cheaper!
You can get better than a Kwik Fit fitter! Try DC EXHAUSTS!
Praise where it is due!:beer:

Its a misconception that kwik-fit are cheap - mostly they're not. plus the last time i was in, they insisted they gave my car a *free* checkup to see if it needed any other tyres, exhausts, brake pads etc - just in case they could drum up any other business.
Oh, and low and behold, that simple puncture i had needed a new tyre, because they didnt recommend repairing it (funny that)
For cheap prices on quality tyres and exhausts in the craigavon area, try canavans tyres and exhausts. (sorry if that sounded like an advert!!) - oh and they're good for alloys too.

Yes i agree, when its time to change the tyres i price around and always go back to canavans, would highly recommend them as well (when you come into lurgan from the motorway, they are on the right hand side right beside the train station)

Also consider Trufit on the Antrim road and at the Broadway roundabout, I found their prices excellent and good service.Norn Iron Club Member No. 252 :beer:0

Kick Fit get their parts from any Unipart dealer and then slap on the extra charge plus labour.I needed the front part (including cat. converter) for Xantia so I called to Kwik Fit at Yorkgate.
