Thread: kwik fit tyres

I had a nail in my car tyre. Went to Kwik fit and they said I had to change both tyres as they were bold and illegal. They said I should have failed the MOT and were surprised that it passed. They were the ones that passed it!

I then had to to track the tyres including the back which was a first for me.

It cost me £280. I feel scammed.

Thats just a puncher! usually pull it out depending on how close it is to the edge of the tire! You should ask if you can have a look at the old tires, And if you see they are fucked with your own eyes you should consider changing them! Dealer ship are a dirty business, worked at a chevy dealer in California who had broken down brakes for every chevy model and when it came some old or not knowing bout cars who wants a service they just change their brakes and show them the bad ones they have in stock and say they needed to be replaced immediately!

I would say they robbed you, it takes 15-20 min to change two tires, and balance them!
You can be a cunt back and remove some weights on your tire and go back to the dealer at lunchtime or 10 minutes before the close, and tell them something happened to the car when they changed the tires, Sounds like something is lose and vibrating! Add that you're afraid of driving the vehicle now. But thats wasting your time as well, or just call them and tell em they had a shitty price!

It is an s Max so they were bigger Tyree. Still a rip off.

There's a guy I work with drives an S-Max

He's a complete bellend too

I can't help but chuckle at your misfortune at being scammed

280 pounds?

I think you were had, but maybe that's normal there. I don't know. I got a nail in my tyre last year and they came over and changed it for about 25 pounds. My car is old though and services are generally cheap here.

Kwik fit are expensive for your Smax tyres mate, I recon were I live £70 each last week had
a tyre from our Astra sri £65 all in.!

So I got scammed. I am never going to that place again.

Super glue costs less than a pound for five tubes these days. Thats what i did to the last mechanic that ripped me off. His workers could'nt get into his business and had to change all the locks,and I got a good laugh. 4am ,park round the corner well away, walk the block stroll past stop and sort your stuff if a car passes, then when its all quiet with the tubes already open its under one second to pump one into each lock, too easy and fun just dont drop the tubes where you are take them away and get rid of them in a bush,in hindsight disposable gloves would be handy pull off wrap up containers and gloves inside out dump and away no mess.

Im not sure if most teenagers would think it out and wait for the grass to grow before striking back,most would probably act more impulsively.Vengeance is a dish best ate cold.

never EVER use Kwik fit.....I went there years ago and asked them to check my exhaust.....some prick who looked like he was about 12 years old with a ciggy in his face came back and told me I would need a new exhaust and some work doing on my engine due to the exhaust issue....he told me the job would cost about £300 big ones......I sniffed bullshit straight away and told him I would go get a second opinion.....went to the local exhaust centre...they checked it over and told me I only needed a new exhaust which cost me about £50...!!!!

Job Biscuit (well I told the wife it cost 300 big ones and so I pocketed the £250 anyway)!!!!


eh eh!!!!

A relative was a manager in a tyre and exhaust centre, the area manager came and said your
not selling enough shock absorbers, so he told them when a car is on the ramp, just spray
some oil on the shock, show the customer tell them the shock is knackered.
He said also tell them is your replace this side you really should replace the other side,
watch out for this scam, needless to say my relative would not do this , he told the
manager to go fuck himself and left.

Dude that sounds cheap for tyres.
