Kwik Fit Mot Experience

[Exdee]

I was browsing the internet last night as my MOT was due coming week and I wanted to know if it was possible to get it done on a Sunday.

Kwikfit seemed to be the most popular search result for 'Mot on Sunday' and I booked it despite hearing/reading about bad experiences people have had with them.

Woke up this morning and had a quick look round the car to make sure all the bulbs were working. Checked the tyre tread using the 10p coin method and was pretty surprised to see I had plenty of tread left. (17000+ miles on Dunlop SP01).

Took the car in, nice and clean reception area with friendly staff. I was told it would take 45 minutes and offered tea/coffee while I waited.

My initial intention was to sit in the viewing area to observe the MOT being carried out but the nice weather drew me outdoors. Found a nice spot and just sat there listening to music and daydreaming. 45 minutes later I went indoors and got my new test certificate which was advisory free as expected. :)

I usually pay £55 for the MOT and this one was £30 because I booked online. So I reckon it was a good punt. I suppose the level of service may vary from branch to branch but Orpington (Kent) could not be faulted today.

Orpington is brill mate. Got my nitro done there and all the guys are a decent bunch

I would also agree that the service vary branch to branch hence why the feedback is so bad online re KwikFit.

I needed a oil change on my IS250 and most of the quotes I was getting was like £150-200 just for an oil change and filter. Looked at KwikFit and booked a intermediate service at £100 at the London E2 branch. However after booking I saw so many negative feedback that my stomach started to turn.

Anyways on the day I was greeted by someone at KwikFit. I asked for them to confirm the type of oil they are using and he replied Titan Semi Synthetic as it was on the manufacturer spec. I told them that I always use fully synthetic. Guy said no worries and ordered new Super Titan FS oil while I waited :)

I was very happy with the service and will use them again.
