Hi Everyone,
Has anybody else herd that radio advert for Kwik Fit, where they helpfully tell you that "passing the MOT does not guarantee you car will be roadworthy for a whole year" or some such patronising nonsense?

It's lucky Kwik Fit pointed out that info though, eh?andyd wrote:Not heard it, but I'm not that stupid!!??
Obviously the point of the ad is to encourage people to have their cars inspected throughout the year. For a small fee, I assume....

Re: Kwik Fit Advert.
Kwik Fit are a dodgy outfit - they are fitters not mechanics and being a large corporation they are set targets for what they have to sell - more corporate greed.
This old Watchdog clip sums them up.

While I wouldn't go as far as saying they are a dodgy outfit, I do agree that, naturally, they have sales targets to meet.
How many of their free brake checks result in no work being required? Not many, I suspect....
