the reason i used kwik fit was because my insurance company MORE THAN gave me a free MOT if i renewed my insurance with them, but the MOT had to be with my local Kwik Fit branch. Anyway they performed the MOT and phoned me to say my brakes needed replacing and will cost around £400. I was going to tell them to do the work because my mother was very ill at the time and could do without the hassel ,however i told them to do one but they said i would have to pay for a re test £55 if a took it somewhere else. i took it too my usual mechanic and he said the brakes would be OK for At Leat another year with the mileage i do. I've just had it MOT'd for this year and been told the brakes should last at least for another 6 months. Suppose the moral of the story is there is no such thing as a free MOT and I will never use Kwik Fit again.
