The question is, would quick fit try charging a fella the same amount or even keep them waiting that long for the same job?
It seems that places like this trade on the rather sexiest view women know little about cars and can be baffled with scare tactics to spend extra money fixing things that don’t need doing.
Oh yes, they tried that one once again two years ago on me and my daughter. What a mistake they made!!
Do tell .....
It was the time my daughters Renault Scenic was put into our local Kwik Fit- on the instructions of the Renault main dealer as it is a Disability car - to replace a front nearside tyre that failed the MOT. After 45 minutes of waiting,
they removed the rear nearside wheel and started to wander around the car as though looking for other problems. Smelling the usually rat in these places, I challenged the Kwik-Fitup management, and all they could explain was they thought it was the rear nearside tyre that needed replacing. I went into one, telling them they were doing what Kwik Fittup always did; trying to find a way of charging for more work than actually required, as I had experienced over decades. I made it clear in a loud voice, in their reception / waiting room area that I couldn't understand why people still brought their cars to them after all the negative reports on-line and on TV. As some potential customers got up and left in their cars the Kwik-Fitup staff made no attempt to argue with me, shut me up, or ask me to leave! They just quickly fitted the new tyre to the correct wheel, replaced the wheel taken off "by mistake" and we left.
So the usual from Kwik-Fitup!
