There's a reason for that...... they have an excellent reputation

Kwik-Fit and National Tyres etc are for compan ycar drivers who couldn't give a shit about service or cost...and why should they

Our local branch is fine, but I really regard them as the exception that somehow proves the rule.

My local National Tyres are really helpful and polite bunch too.

The only reason I don't use them that often is because they usually don't have the tyres I want.

I used event a more than few times for my S, they did rather nicely out of me

LOL

So they rang me and left a message on my voicemail saying we dont fit other peoples parts -

Well I asked for someone to fit wheels and tyres to my car - the wheels were in my car, the tyres would have been bought from Kwik Fit.

Regardless of that - no appology for their rude staff.........I am calling them back to discuss, just because I can and I hate rude ignorant people.

Ha ha, they said thanks for the feedback, hope he gets grilled.
