Title: PISSED OFF.........
Post by: MikeDundee on 24 May 2008, 18:48:38
Had a day out with the kids, fun fair then picnic in Greenwich Park, somehow managed to get a puncture, put air back in by time I got home back down again, so will be a trip to kwik Fits first thing to get the tyre changed over :(.......luckily I have a spare tyre, just in case the existing one can't be repaired :y...will never buy any tyres from Kwik fits again :P

I'm guessing the tyre in question was "Kwikfitted" recently.     If so they should fix/replace f.o.c. :-?

I use Kingsway tyres in Immingham. I get a better deal on tracking, tyres & exhuasts & don't get fobbed off with the "you need" "that's gonna cost" bull because they do all our truck tyres + most of the fitters live locally & know my car so get small free perks.  Chrome dust caps etc. 8-)

I'm missing something here but how can you blame quick fit for a punture?
