Always nice when it does that, considering the last time I put it in for an MOT (at a different garage) it came back with a report that said it passed but needed new brakes, new suspension bushes, and new rear clyinders, oh and a fcuking big dent in the door with white paint on it.

Took it to another garage, Brakes are fine (still same brake pads/disbs now that I had a year ago), bushes fine, and that's the dryest rear cylinder he's ever seen.

Why are certain 'nationwide chain' garages such conartists.

No, if anything Kwik fit were bloody good!
My only ever gripe with kwik fit is the exhaust they fitted had a purposely made hole in it to let water out and prevent corrosion, the downside being it failed the mot due to the hole being there! But a quick welding job and it was ok.
The garage I went to previously, I went to on recommandation from the RAC newsletter.

kwik fit...good.....nah!:D

Well, you cant get quicker than a Kwik Fit fitter, they are the ones to trust after all!

(good for batteries and tyres I have found...)
