I wouldn't count on it though. They had a good deal on uniroyal rainsports so I ordered two and ticked the free brake check and alignment check tires fitted and wheel alignment out so I agreed to the £64.95 quid to set it.
Go to pay and guy said cars fine while I'm paying but then drops the bombshell oh we couldn't adjust the back as the bolts are siezed, you what so you've done half the job then twats.
A week later I'm at mot station and the tester says do you know you need rear pads as there's only a couple of mill left on them look, right enough they can be seen through the wheel and those useless cunts had the back wheels off.

You can't get thicker than a Kwik-Fit Fitter.

It was that and quite reasonable prices if they had just done the full job

Normally I wouldn't either but that fitted tyre price was cheaper than mail ordering them so I'm chalking that up as half a win👍

It's the only place near enough for me to walk home. Usually I'd put my bike in the back..

The polish lads in the workshop next to mine are going to show me how to use the tyre machine today. Got 4 new Toyo proxies for £255 from demon tweeks. Also going to have a go at their alignment kit

No total, its 54 odd without
Of course it was 4 wheel alignment but the bullshit siezed bolt on the rear excuse was used, you do get a pretty picture of wonky wheel's though.
