    Kwik Fit are a lottery, some are good, some horrendous. I go through tyres very regularly, have done for the past 15 years & due to Motability I am back darkening Kwik-Fits door.

    In Montrose I was told to go away, the tyres are not worn enough on my two front tyres. Both coming up at 1.3mm on my digital gauge. The following weekend, 600 miles later, they were 1.2mm and I get “should’ve been here sooner” from the same damned guy! Then he broke my locking wheel nut on the car & told me it wasn’t his fault, get the dealers to sort it. Luckily the tyre had just been changed as now it was stuck on. I had to drive over 10k hoping I didn’t get a puncture.

    Next car, in Forfar I went to Tyre City (Kwik Fit under another name), much better service, they replaced all 4 tyres even though the backs had plenty of life left. He wasn’t happy with me going into winter on low tyres…

    Guess where I will be going once they wear down later this year…

    In life, it's not who you know that's important, it's how your wife found out.
