Advantages: Open on Sundays Disadvantages: Can't do/dangerously do anything complicated
...the fuel tank at all to replace the pipes. Took it back to Kwik Fit in Bridgwater for a retest who also agreed with the other garage that the fuel tank certainly did not need to be removed. Incidentally... at the time I arrived for the retest I was stood behind a customer complaining of oils stains left all over their car seats. A couple of years prior I had also taken a car for an MOT at Kwik Fit in Worle, Somerset and they advised me the vehicle had an oil leak. I later asked for this to be checked out when I was at another garage for a service. They searched all over and could find no leak and no garage has ever found one since. Mistakes happen but the only thing Kwik Fit seem capable of doing is tyres. Maybe it should've been obvious to me from the beginning but for anything that is more complex that a tyre, for your own safety, please take...

Advantages: My nearest tyre dealer (to home). Excellent service. Reasonable prices. Disadvantages: None that I found.
...the tyres in for me and I took the car in to have them fitted.
Service
When I arrived I said it was the rear tyres that had worn and needed replacing. They checked the front tyres for me (oh oh! I thought. Here we go with the 'You really need to replace these too madam……) but to my surprise said that the front ones were showing light wear but were still OK. However as my car was front wheel drive it would be better to put the new tyres on the front and move the front ones to the rear where they would receive less wear and would last longer. They also said that the wear was uneven and that I should get my tracking (wheel alignment) checked. OK I thought better to be safe than sorry.
The work was done very quickly and the manager explained all that had been done. He then said that as I lived locally he would keep a small stock...

Advantages: a good selection of tyres Disadvantages: high price, waiting time, staff memebers
...be scratched.
After 40 minutes I had the tyres on and was paying £ 55 for each tyre plus Valve and Balance and Tyre Disposal Charge a sum total of £129.00.
This I find reasonable compared to £ 413.00 for 4 Pirelli tyres or £287 for to Pirelli tyres of which I didn want.
The tyres were put on ok and have made a good difference to my car, but the reasons I have for writing this review are for the customer car and for the waiting time plus the care tajken with my car were all below pare.
I won't be using National again I wouldn't go back to a place where the customer is treated badly snapped at and the hard sell is tried to make an extra buck.
The customer is always right I have no complaints with the tyres it is the service I recieved which wasn't upto scratch.
Therfore I dont recomend this tyre shop at all unless you want a stressfull...

As someone with one of the most major life changing events coming up in the not too distant I find myself preoccupied at times with one question. How the dickens am I ever going to afford this poor child I'm expecting? There seem to be two distinct... more
