Are you allowed to say that on here?  :)

 ;D

You make a good point Ronny, to be fair to this particular lot they seem ok. Also, being on lease I don't have a choice which chain does the work.

Obviously, your lease company don't mind being ripped off. ;)

It's all a tax write off for them.

Or, they get a cracking deal so Kwik Fit have to make the margin by gouging joe public...

While sitting in the waiting room I heard some prices that nearly made me choke. It seems somewhere between £250 and £300 is the number of choice. Pair of discs for [some golf] £270, battery on [an Peugeot] £280.

Yes, as DG said, to the corporate,s it's a tax write off. Joe Public is looked on as a cash cow. But they're not the only companies who look to get a certain amount out of their unwitting customers. whether the work is needed or not.

As Jimmy points out, it's very unlikely that his lease company pays the same rates at Kwik Fit as poor old put upon Joe Public.  ::)
