Had a call off one of the lads from work about hour ago, he took his car to have the tracking done (Kwik fit) on the way home had kept hearing a knock when he put the car in a left hand lock.

When he got home he looked under the car to find a set of mole grips still attached to the locking nut on the track rod.

I cannot say what he called them, he is going into see them tomorrow, and the mole grips have the blokes name stamped on the grips.

I dont know, but knowing my mate he will have a sore HEAD when he finishes with him , my mate tends to fly off on one then thinks sh*t, what have I done, he is a big bloke also, one of these no neck type and 6 foot 1.

If he had any sense, he would keep the mole grips and keep quiet.....!!!

[Golfbuddy]

To be honest, I'd keep the Mole Grips and think that I had got a bargain

Well they are not "we're the kwik fit fitters we're the boy's to trust" NOT

Ring their head office. The moron that did the job is one thing, but the manager moron that signs each worsheet to confirm he has inspected the job is now in very deep doo doo.

Absolutely useless cretins. I wouldn't let Kwik Fit check a Fart.

You can't get thicker than a kwik fit fitter
Their the boys to punch

oi!

.. and then take it to someone more likely to get the job right.

Ring their head office.

Absolutely. If you take it back to the branch they'll say thanks very much for bringing the mole grips back and keep quiet about it. IME their head office do take complaints seriously. They banged some heads together when I moaned about my air con recharge.

I would go somewhere where they can do a proper four wheel geometry check and adjust as necessary. Quite often problems on the Omega seem to be caused by camber at the front and fast fit centres use a simple toe setting tool on the front wheels (at least they did last time I saw them check tracking). Of the 12 or more angles measured by a proper 4 wheel alignment kit they are measuring 2.
