[Telboi_Clio_182]

oh yeah deffo how my little pride and joy could collapse etc etc etc blah blah lol

 

[Telboi_Clio_182]

cheap at £35 MOT but ends up with a list once they checked over lol

 

[Sir_Dave]

I used Qwikifit for an MOT on the saxo, they failed it on the following:

1. Tyres - despite two of them being new
2. Exhaust - despite it being 6 months old, & stainless
3. Front brake pads, again, despite them being 3 months old, & uprated.

Strangely, they sell all of those items.

Took it elsewhere & it passed 1st time.

Says alot really.

Don't need to see Watchdog to know never go to Kwik Fit!!! P**s in your engine, flush some dosh down the crapper and at least that way you've saved yourself a journey.

 

[Addicted]

more fool you for actually paying £700 without checking other garages first! kwikfit are shockingly bad!

 

[rampantreaper]

going off at a tangent slightly I rang yesterday to book in my grand scenic for its first 18000 mile service. was quoted 311 quid! was told it would need an engine flush and fuel additives. no wonder dealers all called stealers now.
no wonder it has 3 years warranty. its so they can rip you off longer.
I always get three quotes for anything. except plumbing cos I am a plumber.lol

 

[Telboi_Clio_182]

700 quid was for the misses golf full exhaust system including my work too...............

Kwikfit are s**t, took mine there for an MOT and heres the list of what it managed to fail on:

Reason(s) for refusal to issue Certificate
Rear middle and offside recievers not working Seat belt locking mechanism does not secure or release (5.2.5a)
Front both sides Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (8.2.2)
Rear Exhaust emissions carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle excessive (7.3.D.2b)
Rear Exhaust emissions hydrocarbon content after 2nd fast idle excessive (7.3.D.2b)
Rear Exhaust emissions Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (7.3.D.2b)
Offside Rear Rear parking brake recording little or no effort (3.7.A.7a)
Parking brake efficiency below requirements (3.7.A.10) **DANGEROUS**
Advisory Notice issued
Nearside Front Windscreen has damage to an area less than a 40mm circle outside zone 'A' (8.3.1d)
Rear both sides flicker slightly with indicators Rear position lamp(s) slightly affected by the operation of another lamp (1.1.A.2d)
Front Sub-frame corroded but not seriously weakened (2.4.G.2)
Front Front brakes only just met the front brake imbalance requirements. It would appear that the braking system requires adjustment or repair. (3.7.A.2d)
Advise rear exhaust mount deteriorating
Advise filler/sealant to rear of both sills
Advise tyre sizes differ front rear fitted in axle pairs


---------------------------------


Oddly heres the test the next day at a different garage, no work done to the car at all.


Advisory Notice issued
Both Tyre worn close to the legal limit (4.1.E.1)
Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm has slight play in a pin/bush (2.4.G.3)


They were indeed correct as 2 weeks later the N/S suspension arm was worn completely and needed replacing, along with the tyres.
