Kwikfit bodged a suspension repair which trashed my power steering rack and pump 24 hours before my ferry was due - my man sorted it with 5 hours to spare.


WTF did you use Kwikfit for?


I had a £30 off coupon there and the shagged steering rack costs me £900 - a bad deal.


I went there twice. Once to get brakes fixed (they said they could only do the shoes and nothing more complicated than that), and once to get a battery (which refused to start the car - he measured it and it had zero volts off the shelf. I bought one elsewhere).
