Kwik Fit

It isn't so much what they charge or what they make up. It's the fact that every Kwik Fit I've been to, or heard of, has been completely incompetent.

I wouldn't want to drive a car that had brakes that had just been "fixed" by a KF "mechanic".

Axel stands maybe too - regards these, the car is 2.2 tonnes unladen, would 2 tonne axel stand be OK as I am only holding one corner? I think the scissor jack that came with the car is only rated at 1.8 tonnes or something.

Axle stands aren't a maybe.

A jack is for lifting the car briefly, so that you can either change a wheel or put an axle stand under it. A jack is not for keeping the car in the air - scissor or trolley or bottle or whatever.

And, yes, one 2t (albeit probably 2t-per-pair, so 1t each) axle stand is more than sufficient for keeping one quarter of a 2t car off the ground with the other three-quarters of the car on wheels.
