I have had Kwik Fit fit brake pads to my car on several occasions. They are supposed to be free for as long as I own the car. However, it seems I needed new discs every other time I had the pads changed.
I last had them changed in 2013 with new discs again.
One of the rear brakes started leaking fluid.
I took the wheel off to have a look and discovered, to my horror, that the last time Kwik Fit fitted new pads they only put one pad on the wheel. The piston on the caliper had gouged the inside of the disc as there was no pad between it and the disc.
I will replace the pads and discs myself as I cannot drive the car anywhere.
What would have happened if they did the same to a front wheel?
I shall have to check them as well.

I am never going to Kwik Fit again

Kwik Fit is no different to criminals. Give them your business and you are putting yourself in harm's way. When I recently had my Audi MOT there, they cut 2 slits in the leather gaiter to make it look like that the leather had split due to wear and tear, which was obviously not the case. My Audi was in pristine conditions before it went there for the MOT. When I complained to their manager, I knew by her behaviour that this was not the first time she had had complaints like mine. She asked to have my Audi back for them to have a look. I did and the mechanic cut a third slit in the gaiter when he was in the Audi while I was standing just meters from it. I had taken the vandalism to Kwik Fit's chief executive. He in effect said that I could not prove that Kwik Fit had vandalised my car. That attitude speaks volumes about Kwik Fit. Give them your business and you will face consequences not the least of which is money loss.

Kwik Fit have always been Bandits and even back in the 1980's were pulling strokes like this.They put a set of Brake Shoes on back to front on my Escort back in 1988 and then denied they did it.
