Very Naughty

What??

His tyres, discs, pads, springs and shock absorbers were ok???

They must be slipping...

that'll need a clutch then!

I had a re-test back from being repaired at kwik fit not too long ago.

They had replaced the rear brake valve and fitted a track rod end.

What they also did, was split the rack gaiter, and snap off both the bleed nipples on the rear wheel cylinders. Consequently there was barely any brake pedal.

I took some photos/video and showed the customer. He immediately commented that he got as far as driving 100 metres from kwik fit before heading back and telling the manager there was an issue with the brakes. The manager assured the customer that the car would still pass the mot and to go and get the retest done. They would then take a look at if afterwards.

Obviously it didn't work out like that - This is just the latest in a long line of cock ups I can mention about said outfit.

Steady on now chaps I,m sure these things happen but please don't tar us all with the same brush

The fact your on this forum proves your commitment and professionalism Alex

Good man, I know the lures are very good (bonus etc), so resisting would be difficult alex

I think we're ok nitros, freedom of speech etc, I'd love them to challenge my statement to be honest that way they'd have to prove otherwise.

I'll try to restrain a teeny weeeny bit but can't promise anything...

I see it as a means of protecting mine and my children's and my colleagues and forum cums futures by endeavoring to provide a reliable, fair and honest profession to customers which I do by exposing bad practice...a bit like watchdog

Perhaps that info should have gone along with the original post, because although not excusing their cock ups, it does show a willingness to take responsibility, which is never dealt with. Only the bad stuff gets through.

I think sometimes these fast fit centers are easy to turn over and would rather refund customers rather then have bad publicity.
