Title: Can I trust QuikFit to do my shocks?
Post by: evvo1 on 11 March 2009, 17:46:55
Anybody any recommendations of VX-friendly a place to get my Omega estate shockers done? (Possibly wishbones as well) I live in the West/South Yorks area; but would be willing to travel further afield to get em done well. Only had the car a couple of weeks and I love it, apart from a bit of bouncy/rough handling over bumps . I Can't hear any knocks or bangs from the suspension though.

Thanks

I can't recommend an alternative, but I wouldn't have Kwik-Fit change my socks -- definitely not touch the car !!!!!

Maybe a tad unfair -- there is a chance that your local branch has someone in there who knows what he is doing ( He certainly ain't down here !)

LOL! agreed! NO!

How have kwikfit managed to get themselves such a bad reputation?

Phillip Welsh near York is a place I go but might be a bit far for you.

Yeah, I thought not! ...York not too far at all. 40min drive from here. They look good! Are they expensive? What should I expect to pay for a full set fitted?

They are good value, not the cheapest but very very proffesional.

Ask for Paul on 01904 489391.

There is a pub 200yds up the road, I usally go and have a bite to eat whilst i'm having work done.

Thanks Black Knight. I might give them a ring tomorrow, See if I can arrange something for next week. I have a couple of spare leave-days to take from work. Might be useful. Thanks.

Kwik Fit - no no no no - steer well clear bud!
Same goes for ATS/Euromasters or whatever they call themselves ...

Pity you weren't closer, as I'd do them in my workshop. Mrs Sethsmate supplies ample free grub and tea too.

Hahaha! That sounds good and thanks for the thought. I am a bit far away though I'm afraid aren't I? Andyb has offered to help. He's only about an hour's drive away, which aint bad at all really. Jolly decent of him I think. Just trying to arrange a day when I can get over there now. I think I'm gonna put the my Mondeo on Ebay as a runner with MOT and Tax.
