I know nothing about cars and I have fallen pray to the issue faced by the previous reviewer at a…read moredifferent branch of this mechanics. Many years ago when I took my car to a branch of Kwik-Fit I got shafted for a couple of hundred more than I should be and I swore I would never go back to one. Several years later and once again I have left it until the night before my car tax has run out to check whether the MOT has. Needless to say it ran out the next day, it was a Sunday so all the garages were closed and I didn't want to risk showing up a garage and hoping they could fit me in. Begrudgingly I had a look at Kwik-Fit's website and I was able to book an appointment online for the next day. The staff were polite if not a little indifferent and it was done pretty quickly while I waited. It passed and no other work was needed, for which I breathed a small sigh of relief.

I have been to Kwik Fit, Regent St, Leeds today to get a puncture repaired…read more I was informed by the "operative" (in a very surly manner) that I needed "two new tyres, as they were worn on the inner edge." I was aware that thewe was some wear but was very confident that in no way were they illegal. So they put the wheel back on and I left the premises. (They didn't actually refuse to repair the puncture which incidently was nearly exactly central in the tread and therefore was not an issue) but implied that they wouldn't. Certainly no offer was made to just do the repair. I have since had the puncture repaired by Motosave just up the road, who were very nice to deal with and with no qualms. On getting home I have measured the tyre depths, and they are in excess of 5.5mm across the tyre except for the worn edge, which is below 1.6mm for one twentieth of the width of the tyre. I have posted the current legislation below. "1.The grooves of the tread pattern must have a depth of a least 1 mm throughout a continuous band measuring at least three-quarters of the breadth of the tread and round the entire outer circumference of the tyre, OR 2.if the grooves of the original tread pattern of the tyre do not extend beyond three-quarters of the breadth of the tread (i.e. common with motorcycle tyres) any groove of the original pattern must have a minimum depth of at least 1 mm." Nice try to rob me, but unfortunately I am aware of the current legislation, and tyres for my car would be in excess of £200 each. Robbing b******s.

This was the first time I'd been to Allcar but they were recommended by my usual specialist. Top job done and full marks to the friendly technicians. I watched their other work too. What a change to find guys who actually care about your pride and joy. I know my cars (ex pro racer) and I've been around garages for five decades but not found a better one this last ten years. Highly recommended and I'll happily use them again if necessary. May I suggest the 'strange' review from 'cragg' dated 27/02/2012 be ignored.

Some of the reviews on here chat utter cow poop…read more Graham is excellent, I've been using him since I started driving 6 years ago and the garage had been there many many years before then which says something! I always do my research first before buying, letting Graham know if I can get something cheaper and he'll always give a great price for fitting. Graham was actually recommended to me by a business user which again says he must be good! The comment about overalls being outdated? Do you expect them to wear tutus!?!?!? They're mechanics for christs sake, get a grip. Speaking of grip and the bloke with a range rover, check out tyre reviews and you'll see that vredestein had been voted the best tyre but that doesn't necessarily mean its the best for your car or for noise - always check online. Remember he recommended them not forced you to fit them so you have no one but yourself to blame.

My son is a new driver with his first car and he picked up a screw in his tyre. We took it to…read moreWharfedale (as I know them to be reliable and reasonable from my own experience, but this was another level). Not only was his tyre puncture fixed and put back on there and then for a very reasonable £15 but he took the time to show my son how to place the jack, work the 'key' for the nuts, how to not over tighten them when putting them back on. He even had us open the bonnet so he could go through what to check and what not to touch in the engine. I learnt a lot too! He also noted that he was pulling his handbrake up too high and explained about not doing this so as not over stretch the brake cables. What a great experience and a very kind gentleman who took the time to go way above what was required to help a new driver be safer on the road. He even said "Anything else you want to know about cars, just ask me". Super 5 stars without hesitation! Thank you - great service and kind people are still about.

I was toying with the idea of claiming on my insurance if the bill was big so D D could have charged me whatever they liked but they advised me to have just 2 new tyres at around £33 each as my car is old.

Unacceptable customer service. when I asked why it wasn't repaired, I've had a string of different excuses. First, they couldn't find the bike that I dropped off with staff. Second, the appointment had to be moved as the parts were (this is the best bit) in store. And lastly that it was a inspection to see what work needed doing. Already had that. complained and had no resolution. clearly been lied to and fobbed off. disgusting.

I went to this Halfords to buy some oil for the car and really didn't know which kind to get. I…read morethink it was obvious I didn't really know what I was looking for but no one asked if I needed any help (despite the shop being completely dead and several members of stadd being in the shop) so I went to the counter to ask. The member of staff was helpful in telling me which oil to get but when I said I wasn't really sure of where to put it into the car I wasn't offered any help despite this being a 30 second job and my car being parked outside. I know they probably charge for this service but I wasn't even offered any help for a charge.

My house mate needed to change her tyres, and being from York, didn't know a reliable place to get…read morethis done in Leeds. She'd only just moved in and didn't have time to go to her garage at home. I suggested St. Anne's, another friend had been there and it all seemed fine. In a rush, we arrived with no prior appointment and they saw to her car virtually straight away. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed and the guys were happy to help. The tyres only cost £15.00 per tyre, as they were reconditioned tyres (often from emergency service vehicles apparently) and the red lines were still showing which showed that they were still new. The whole experience lasted not even fifteen minutes, and although they only take cash, they were more than happy for us to go away to draw some out. Perfect!
