Hi All.
Last week I asked on the forum if anybody could recomend a garage in Sheffield
that would change the front pads on my sons Golf as that's all needed doing
without him getting ripped off as he's a Student living on his Student Grant. and the Bank of Dad.
Bounty Bar Kid suggested Kwik Fit, so I called them and discussed changing the front pads and
they quoted £75 inc vat, which is a bit over the top but they were close to him and could do it anytime
so I booked it in for yesterday. He dropped off the car yesterday morning for the front pad to be done.
He then got a phone call about 2 hours later saying the car needed extra work and could he pop back
and agree it before they went ahead. so back he goes to Kwik Fit to be told by a 17 year old kid that
he had done a completed brake report and that he needed new discs and new brake pads all around
and this would cost £392. 90 my son explained to him that it only needed front pads and that's what it was
booked in for, He was told that they would do ALL the work and refused to just do the front pads
saying "we will do all the the work or none of it"...!!!! WHAT A RIP OFF..!!
So he took ther car away, we are now back to square one and almost got ripped off by Kwik Fit,
I wonder how many old ladies they frighten into getting new brakes all round, a new battery, new exhaust
just to make a profit...WHAT A RIP OFF COMPANY..!!! SO WELL DONE KWIK FIT SHEFFIELD.
