I remember about 5 years back I took mine to a Kwik Fit for MOT and funnily enough was also told that I needed a new headlight. They said that the 'automatic' adjuster wasn't working on one side. I took it elsewhere and it passed first time after they adjusted the beam manually (at no cost)
As I said avoid Kwik Fit like the plague

Halfords arent much better. Took mine in last year for a service and it worked great before gasnt worked properly since. Phoned them and thet said its not covered in the warranty

Car has just failed it's MOT for a few bits but think Kwik Fit quote might be OTT. If anyone knows anything about cars would be great.

Notorious shitehawks.

Normally garages on there are conscious of not ripping off folk,this is only my experience and others I know.

Here's a quick tale from kwikfit.
I got quite 200 for work on brakes.
Picked up 500 .I said I was quoted 200 so they fudged the invoice to 200.
Bad move the life time guarantee was void because all items weren't wrote down.
Anyway after 3 trips and numerous emails phone calls ,I got rid of the car.

Where about are you?
Kwick Fit are real scammers, notorious for getting people to.pay for work they don't even.
I took a tyre to them once, screw in it, few days later, another slow puncture, totally convinced they put the same tyre back on with a flimsy temp fix.
Also my mum went once with a flat, the lad told her they had to replace all 4 cant just do one, seriously.

Wake up with that on your face...

There was one that came from the fireplace last night right next to the couch. We spent 10 minutes freaking out running around spraying it before managing to get it out the window. They just seem way bigger this summer.

In 1950's Malaya, if you woke up in the morning and found a spider as big as your hand and covered in fur sitting on your chest, it was the best wake-up call you could get. The first time it happened to me, I never knew I could move so fast while still half-asleep! Don't think the spiders here are very big.

Which would be worse? One big spider or a load of smaller ones?
