In total I…read morepaid £256 as a new customer and was happy with the repair, however on return of my vehicle I noticed fluid leaking onto the driveway the next day. I returned the car to Collins to be told there is a leak from the coolant system and will probably need a new part. On explaining there was no leak prior to the service on my car which they conducted and the fault must be with them damaging the part, they denied all. "It's just coincidence", I was told. No offer of repair to make things right. A poor show or now show of the customer is always right.

I was recommended this tyre place by my local garage years ago and now I never go anywhere else…read more The manager is great really professional and friendly. There is sometimes a queue but you never need to wait long. They offer all different types of tyres and will get you what suits you for your budget. They only take cash, but if you forget there is a petrol station a 5 minute walk away with a cash machine (which unfortunately charges)

Sean at Kiel-fit Oban stayed open until we were able to get the tyre to him. He helped us immediately, was friendly and charged us a very reasonable price.

I cannot rate this garage and they three guys that I dealt with highly enough! Professional,…read morefriendly, knowledgeable and so very helpful! I got recovered and taken here last week, after splitting my tyre on a pot hole! They completely turned a bit of a c**p situation into a such a positive experience! I had been travelling around Scotland for the past week in a campervan that was new to me, which had 20" alloys, therefore I was so very lucky that Brian had decided to get some tyres in to fit these the week before, as they are not standard and not usually in stock! Brian was in on his day off and spent a lot of time explaining and helping me understand about wheels and tyres and gave me so much knowledge for my future travels! Mark showed me that I had also damaged my wheel, which highlighted to me how honest and conscientious they are! They did their absolute best to help with this and then swapped my damaged wheel and tyre to the back for my journey home, explaining that the front takes the majority of any impact and therefore this would be much safer! ... I would never have thought of this and surely they have gone way up and beyond any 'normal' customer service! The other guy (whose name I unfortunately did not get), gave me a full visual inspection report on my tyres (something which I had asked at a previous kwik fit, and was told 'oh there ok'!), he was brilliant! He also asked me if I had heard a knocking noise?, to which I replied 'yes', he then told me what this was and advised me to take it to my mechanic as soon as I return! They did not charge me for anything apart from the tyre and the fitting! I seriously, cannot thank these guys enough and cannot rate them high enough! I am pleased to say, thanks to them, I returned home to Cornwall safely. I have returned feedback to their Operations Manager and I hope they are commended on their service :) A BIG THANK YOU GUYS!!!!

I like this one, as it is nearby to the Oak Mall Shopping centre, so I can leave my car there to get it fitted, while I jump down to do my shopping, so I dont have any parking worries!! Then I can come back whenever I am ready, then I can uplift my car. Also I like to get my car fitted there as at the same time I can be able to earn ClubCard Points from Tesco in this store as well! Great tip for saving some money!

Farmer Autocare…read moresourced replacement parts and offered a time limited and discounted quotation of £1000 which was reluctantly agreed to. Full payment was required in advance. While the repair was being completed, I found the necessary replacement part on line for £38.50 each. On further investigation, this repair should have cost in the region of £200. The subsequent complaint was dismissed and dealt with unsympathetically. I would urge anyone using the services of this garage to get quotations elsewhere and avoid paying for anything in advance.

I had to question something and was met with a really aggressive response. I felt very uneasy. I will never go here again and wouldn't recommend that anyone else does either.
Honestly, if I could give this place 6 stars, I would. I first found it when I worked in East…read moreKilbride and occasionally detoured through Carmunnock if the bypass from Glasgow was closed for any reason. It was a real find - a small, local garage which believes in good customer service and won't rip you off. The guys who work here are always really friendly - if you just stop for petrol they even come out and fill up your car for you and they're always up for a chat and a laugh. But where I find them invaluable is all the little problems I've had with my cars over the years (I've had very bad luck when it comes to car tyres!) and the fact that they've always been honest, reliable and incredibly good value for money. One time I had a flat tyre, it was just the tyre valve and they charged me £5 to fix it. Another time, I had a nail in my tyre, it cost £10 to fix it. Another time I hit a pothole and buckled my wheel - rather than sting me for a new wheel, they recommended a local reconditioning place that would knock it back into shape for £20, which saved me a fortune. Even when I did need a new tyre, they have really reasonable prices and a new tyre from here cost me £40 (this was about 5 years ago now) when National Tyres wanted to charge me £70. I have no doubt at all that this place will not rip you off or charge you for work that doesn't need done and I can't recommend them highly enough - I will now drive from Shawlands past at least half a dozen other garages to take my car here.
