I wouldn't go back there for any work carried out. They are obviously desperate for your money!

Your car is fine for another month... see link in question above from Toureman.

thats a load of rubbish.. perhaps u could shatre the name of the garage you took your car to? The mot is valid until the expiry date on the current certificate.

I think we must take VOSA's view as being the correct one - if it fails, fix it, then you are OK to drive on your old cert until you get it reMOTd before the due date.

Would have thought Kwik Fit would have been behaving they got a right slating on BBC Watchdog this week!!

I can;t see KwikFit ever behaving. Many years ago I applied for the vacant post of KwiKFit manager in my home town. I was offered the job but I didn;t take it. The area manager who interviewed me told me that my one priority would be to keep the depot's weekly income increasing. If the week's income was the same as the previous week, or decreased, that would be seen as a reflection of my performance and KwikFit didn't want managers who couldn't increase income. The same applied to him of course. When I asked about providing a good service to the customer the reply was "Well of course, but the monthly income is all important".

if you read a mot form small print thats on the back (not sure if its on the new ones) it states now you've got a full mot it doesn't mean your car is road worthy for 12 months. also the extra month you have got left is fine, you still have mot and have it until the day expires..

Andyvon,

Now I know why KwikFit were not very happy when I asked them to check the rear silencer on an Astra i had some time ago, they told me I needed a new one so I said OK, they looked it up and the price had gone up from £30 to £70 so I said thats OK fit a new one as it is still under guarantee. You should have seen the look on the Managers face !.

They had to fit it though !

Good on you Toureman, that's my method. Did you say Kwik Fit? I remember them been a TYRE COMP! they want to stick to what the know best, TYRES.
