dm434 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 my work mates wife once used kwikfit, when they handed her car back they tried to insist that she had her air con recharged as it wasn't working , silly buggers didn't realise she knew it never had air con fitted . con artists and scam merchents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I think a lot of people have horror stories about Kwikfit. I have never been back since an incident about 8 years ago when they tried to sell me "Z" rated tyres for my diesel Mondeo "because it is a turbo" at a cost of £85 per tyre. I ended up going to the main Ford dealer who charged £45 per tyre for "W" rated which was Ford standard fitment, (told you it was a long time ago) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) Kwikfit & the like are clueless bunch of idiots to be honest . Your better off going to the local mechanic who knows you & will not wrong you to save his reputation or else go to the main dealer . The likes of Kwikfit etc don't give a Sh*t who you are . They are just out to rip you off . I go to my ONE local mechanic all the time with both our cars & he will always after a general service tell me things like ..you have another few weeks left on your brake pads on the rear , tyres may need changing after another 600 miles which is just honest and letting you getting the most out of the consumables on the car before they really need changing & not milking it like others will & screwing you over . He tells you in advance & its up to you to come back & get it done when it suits. Edited January 30, 2017 by justy 46 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 It is wrong how some companies try taking advantage. It is always best using a smaller local firm who rely on word of mouth and repeat customer not to adds and massive paper adverts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 well shes had an email back from some customer care bod, and they have tried to smooth it over, and it has to be said "following enquires" i quote from her mail , now reprimanded staff and the branch manager for poor service ,along with implementing a new training program for the particular mechanic who tried it on. they have also offered her a voucher for a full set of tyres free of charge , inc tracking . however it has to be used within 6 months, which i doubt she will do milage wise ,and two are brand new anyway so kind of pointless. but i said to her take it up, go and have the set put on and keep the two new rears just fiitted as spares for later on, can put them in my garage for storage,so we will see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 f*****g yodel parcels, paid for a 24 hr delivery on two rolls of carpet underlay, they delivered 1 yesterday and seem to have sent the other to scotland ?? despite it being adressed to me on the same tracking number and barcodes . no sorry no explanation, just it will be delivered Saturday now after relocation through the trunk system then cut me off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
and2go Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I was going to reply but my witty comment is stuck on a truck heading twice the distance required in the wrong direction. It does make you wonder how it pays them to courier stuff to the ends of the earth needlessly. Surely that would have taken up considerable room/weight in a truck...

Tractorman810 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Just been told it arrived this morn, certainly not heavy but is bulky, had a refund from the seller to so not all bad, luckily I didn't need the second roll right away , 1 did the room I had to finish yesterday ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I have a couple of obsolete models and some parts coming from a Continental seller since the beginning of January. Finally got the tracking number today. According to tracking system the parcel has been sitting in a depot (I am told it is Yodel, but Yodel don't operate in Ireland) since the middle of January. This is going to be annoying. I just know it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 One of them weeks this week. All started with Brigg power station rejecting my load as over length, on Monday. I had to take the bales to Crowle to a storage area instead which meant I could not get reloaded Monday night like I normally do until Tuesday morning. Leaving at 8.30am instead of 4.00am like I normally do, to head back south. So the whole week I've been delayed. Then after tipping and reloading for the power station at Snetterton, I was rejected Wednesday morning again as I wasn't supposed to be there! Got sent to a stockpile at Thetford instead which is where I should have been anyway, so my reload which was a 20min run from Snetterton, was an hour from Thetford now. So I didn't get home Wednesday night as planned, it was 8pm Thursday night. She was not happy!! On the plus side, I got papped in the 164 480 on the M1 which went up on Facebook and on Friday I was in the 15 plate 580 V8 and got papped again near Ringwood in Hampshire but I haven't found that photo yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FendtFarmer Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 When you message someone on fb regarding a model (s) that they have posted and they don't have the decency to message back at all, even when I leave a comment saying I've messaged them but yet manage to reply to other people's comments rant over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
