I had some strange brake rubbing noises yesterday plus an unexplained slow puncture. In desperation - I went to Kwik Fit. Now before I go any further, I must say I have used KF a lot in the recent past for tyres and bulbs - plus balancing/tracking; all great jobs and well done at a decent price.
I have, however, shied away from using them for more technical repairs; image problem? Perhaps. 
Well - here’s how I rate my experience at Kwik Fit in Ramsgate today.
On arrival, having booked the 5 in, the chappy behind the counter welcomed me by NAME and assured me the work would be done that day. He offered to call me with a no obligation quote once the mechanic had had a ganders at the brakes/tyres - and he called within the hour with the ‘diagnosis’: front tyres advisory - one with leaking valve. Pads at front advisory plus brake fluid needed changing. New safety valves (they look like Frankenstein monster bolts - chrome finish…epic coolness) also needed. £270.
Car finished within three hours - lovely service on arrival and lots of banter about how much the guys liked the sound of my car. One waggish type even suggested I now only needed a turbo kit to make it a real car!
Anyway - I can’t speak for Kwik Fit service inside the M25 but, since arriving in Kent, they have been epically awesome in Ramsgate and Deal. Well done lads! Thumbs up from me.
PS - I know you lot on the forum will tell me you could have got the jobs done for under £270 - but same day - no parts to be ordered and within three hours? Really?
