Daniel Dewhurst Posted December 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) wont be going back to kwik fit in a rush! bloody rubbish they are! went down to get the tracking and that checked just now, after about an hour of faffing about they came back and said the tracking is fine but the rear flag is out so they adjusted that. took it for a drive down the road and realised the wheel wasnt straight when driving in a straight line, bearing in mind this is what they were supposedly adjusting, which clearly isnt right, so we went back and told them and they started saying well we dont know how your car normally drives, but clearly it doesnt take a genius to recognise that the steering wheel is sitting wonky?! so after moaning they agreed to do it again and sort it out and after another hour and about 5 of them working on it they said it was sorted. just driven it home and im sure its still not right but i wont be going back there any time soon. theyre fitters, not mechanics.

fatty Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 I've never had a good experience with Kwik Fit. The couple of times I have been, my cars have been condemned by them! Saying I needed my whole brake system changed etc!Little Lupo looks good. Wish I'd had as good a 1st car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Dewhurst Posted December 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) theyre just a bunch of monkeys at the end of the day, cant believe it came out worse than when it went in though, they like to think they know what theyre doingthanks man, yeh im really happy with it, didnt think id be able to align everything as well as it actually turned out! the wings were a bitch to get out because theyre just cross head screws in the sill and door shut and that and theyve just been undersealed to death! had to invest in an impact driver and a good 50 whacks of a hammer just to loosen them up! got there in the end though! will get better pics up soooon Edited December 27, 2011 by Daniel Dewhurst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
