Kwik fit..lmao - 16/01/2010 12:42
My car is insured through Kwik fit and as a bonus they offer a free MOT. I wouldn't normally use their services for anything car related..had a few brushes with them in the past..useless. But as it was free I thought I would try them out. It was booked in for 1pm. I came back at 2pm and they had barely started. So I had the joy of sitting in the reception and over the next hour or so I witnessed the bloke behind the counter pretty much abuse all of the customers in his own unique way. He was overjoyed to tell me that my car had failed..
On 2 points..the brakes were 27% 'unbalanced'
and the windscreen didn't work...
I managed to work out that he meant the washers were not functioning. Well I checked them on the way , I had to due to the amount of crap coming off the road. I told him they were working before...'are you saying that we have done something to them?' he snapped back..this guy was heading for a slap...
'The brakes are not working properly because you need new pads and discs'..I pointed out that these were renewed less than 4 months earlier , and the discs were ultra expensive grooved buggers. I walked to the car and demonstrated that the washers did indeed work..called the bloke a choice name and drove off...a waste of 2 hours...
I had the car MOT'd a few days later and it passed...
