I know there's loads of posts about the quality of work (or lack of) at kwik fit and i've never trusted them but the bloke who had my car before me did... When i bought it he said the air con had just been re-gassed there and had all the proof, i knew this would lead to problems somewhere and i've just found out where. They have over gassed and burst 3 seals and damaged the dryer. I've just found an air con specialist in Chertsy and he really knows his stuff and for what he's doing i think his prices are reasonable too. So if anyone around this way is looking for an air con specialist i got details of a good one.

 

Don't use Kwik-Fit !!!!!

The company name "Kwik Fit" has always made me laugh the name does not exactly inspire quality work does it...we will fit it quick !! (quick usualy means that things are overlooked) anyone can fit something quick....does not mean it will be a good job.

 

I went to Kwik Fit once in my runabout to fit a replacement exhaust, came to my MOT and it failed due to inproper fitting of the exhaust !

 

Needless to say when i phoned them to complain there was no apology and they said "we cannot guarantee the work done" i wrote a letter to their headquarters but never got a reply....

 

I will never use them again, i now buy all the parts for my runabout and fit them myself, didn't fail after that.

How you doing Benzsupra? I live in Shepperton which is right next to Chertsey and need to get my air con sorted. So if you recommend them, could you let us know there details. Thanks

Hi mate, as soon as i get out to my car i'll get the business card and PM you the details. I would put them up on here but i'm not sure of the forum rules on that so i better not. :)

Don't know how they could manage that, they connect it to a machine and do nothing else, it's all automatic?

 

I thought the same but if they put in the wrong make of car or something this is what happens. Probably put it in as a Celica or something knowing them.

Don't bank on it. $#@!-Fit use a plug and play machine (should be fool proof) that can print out the requirments for your vehicle. They should also hand write the info on the customers air con info sheet/receipt.

 

Good luck.

 

Not fool proof, as discussed above, they have to put in the right vehicle to start with, machine does a print out at the end that gets handed to customer to keep.

 

Kwik Fit have to keep a record of this as well, this I know for a fact :innocent:
