Absolute scam merchants- avoid at all costs rude and unhelpful to boot…read more My car failed it's MOT due to rear brake issues (uneven brake force) at the Salisbury Kwik Fit who decided they were too busy to do the repairs and suggested going to another branch. I work in Newbury so it was the logical choice. After 'inspecting' the car they tried to convince me that the problem was that the brakes at the front needed replacing (to solve a rear brake issue!) and became very confrontational when I asked for a reason for this work being carried out. The best they could come up with was 'air in the brakes' - despite there being no sign of this. The staff I dealt with, one of who I presume to be the manager as he was in a shirt rather than the usual uniform, we're evasive, unhelpful and In the case of the manager he tried to be agressive and intimidating using scare tactics to try and get me to agree to the work. When I declined the work and picked the car up the wheels had not ever been taken off - the cable ties holding the wheel trims in are still in place. When pressed they said they had looked at the rear drums, opened and inspected them and found nothing wrong- an outright lie. Having now taken the car to my local mechanic to have the work carried out, there was a cylinder in the rear drum that had ceased - a £20 part - and nothing to do with the front brakes that I was told needed to be replaced. For peace of mind I also had the front brakes checked and they were found to be well within acceptable wear limits and perfectly safe to drive. Thankfully I am competent when it comes to cars and actually do a fair amount of my own maintainance so was able to spot a con but I'm sure many people would have bought into it and agreed the work - and it still wouldn't have passed an MOT afterwards. So, never again will I use Kwik Fit and I will do my very best to make others aware of their shoddy ways.

A while ago, this garage was staffed by really helpful and knowledgeable staff who quoted a price…read morefor work, and stuck to it. The ownership of the garage has changed. Today, I took my car in for some basic work (change exhaust and adjust handbrake). I was quoted £130. When I went to pick the car up, the price had risen to £184. I questioned this and the price was reduced to £166 with the manager claiming that the difference was because I had been quoted by the apprentice (I was unaware he was the apprentice). Friendly enough people but I don't like their business practice and won't be going back!

It might sound like I have a vested interest but I'm just a very satisfied customer and judging by the number of other cars there - their carpark is often packed - many others in the loocal area are too!

It is efficiently run by friendly staff who are absolutely brilliant, upbeat and willing to go the extra mile for a customer.

The tyre prices are incredibly reasonable, fitted promptly and I'm more than willing to drive 10-odd miles than rock up at the local Kwikfit. All I would say is allow yourself some time as it is a drive-through garage and can often get quite busy, however I've visited in the morning before and was in and out! Highly recommended!

The staff are all really friendly and helpful in allowing you to pick the best tyres to suit your needs with a mixture of drive in ramps and normal car bays. Think they have the facilities to fix tracking problems with cars as well. If they dont have the tyres in stock, they have to drive to their warehouse to get them but in my experience it didnt take more than 10 mins, plus if you phone up beforehand they will be there waiting for you. Nice area to sit and wait with a tv and coffee machine. Great garage

Biggest mistake of my life! I had booked my car in for a routine major service which was supposed to cost £295. But on the day of the service,I was called by the service department saying they had found another fault and this was going to cost me £300 more! As I am not a technician and the department instilled a sense of panic into me and I agreed for the extra work to be done. When I went to collect the car,I asked to examine the part they replaced and I didn't see any defect with it,but I paid the full amount of over £600! On checking the service book I was shocked that it was filled out wrongly by a supposedly qualified technician! it was then that the problems got worse and I began to suspect that the extra work I was told was needed was not actually needed. I suspected the dealership made up a non existant fault to extort more money out of me! When I raised the issue of the unnessecary work and my service book filled out incorrectly with the Aftersales Manager and the Director of the company they were simply not bothered. It seemed to me that they had got their money out of me and were not prepared to rectify matters. I had to question the fact that if a supposedly experienced technician was incompetant enough not to fill out a service book properly, how could I be sure he actually carried out the service or the supposed "repair" competantly? I bitterly regret using this Dealership and I strongly warn everyone to avoid them. I think they are crooks and conmen!!

Wish other dealers took a leaf out of their book. Never felt pressured into buying anything, was offered a choice of cars for test drives and they even sourced a personalised number plate for me.
