ellis Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I wouldn't let them near my car if they paid me! An MoT costs the same anywhere - and half price is hardly a deal swinger for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest samsalter Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 all big company try to rape you for more cash. better off having someone you go to often and they will get to know you and not rip you off my missus had a car that was quoted £500+ for mot at quik fit, i took it to my mates dad and he said it would cost £140.

Gaz6002 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 They'll take your keys, give your car a 'service' and then find a hundred things wrong which they'll want to fix. Halfords recent took over Nationwide Autocentres BTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-_-b Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I would steer clear of anything to do with Halfords touching my car. Trusted local garages far better imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt touch quik fit with a bloody barge pole. Thieving b*stards those guys. There was a thread on here about them last year, not to mention Watch Dog tearing them a new one.

Iky Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 From what ive seen at my local one, I wouldn't. I was passing by and noticed one of them young apprentices attempting to do a "burnout" in a what looked like a customers car. As he got out i told him, "It's good to know that customers cars are in good hands" Not all branches will be the same though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraP-Z Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Unless i sat there and watched them do the full service and MOT, i wouldnt let them near the supe, or any other car for that matter lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_si Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 that will do for me..... just been ringing around local places for a service, once thats done i can just whack it through an MOT without much hassle rather than let them do both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
