Kwik fit are renowned for trying to con people for jobs that do not need doing. Stay away from them. The fitters are untrained and would not know what a torque wrench is and how to use it properly and why you should use it apart from mostly anything mechanical!

Heheh - yes, actually. Though I got a bit concerned when it got to the bit about nailing some wood to the tyres :ohmy:
And thats a +1 from me regarding mickt's impression of Kwik Fit
IF IT AINT BROKE, KEEP FIXING IT UNTIL IT IS

Compared to my recent experience with Halfrauds the guys at Kwik Fit were master tradesmen believe me.

I always use a small independent tyre place. They rely on repeat custom from happy customers and not their name as part of a national franchise.
A family friend recently got charged for an aircon repair for aircon the car is not fitted with from a national franchise. She didn't understand the technical rubbish they spoke of about compressors and condensers.
Find one you trust and go to them, even if they are £5 more per tyre. Use them or lose them and be stuck with the rubbish ones.
