Kwik fit seemed to get a pretty raw deal on here and many other forums but I thought I'd give post my experiences of them to balance it out a bit.
I've knocked a balancing weight off a wheel before when cleaning it, took it to Kwik fit and they rebalanced the wheel and didn't charge me anything.
I've had 8 tyres that I needed to get rid of, no one would take them and most places tried to charge me £32 to dispose of them. Kwik fit let me dump them there for no charge.
My set of winter alloys and tyres have been giving me serious vibration through the steering wheel at speed. They were fitted new a few hundred miles ago and balanced by another firm. They really didn't feel right so I took it back to them a couple of days ago. One front had 5g too much weight and the other had 20g too much! They did them again but there was no improvement.
Took it to Kwik fit today, they fitted me in within a few minutes and all the guys there seemed nice enough and happy to chat and for me to jack the car for them. It turned out that the other place had only balanced them in a single plane when they should be balanced on the inside of the rim and again closer to the spokes. They let me go away for 30 mins to test it before coming back to pay.
They've also repaired a tyre for me before and I've had no problems with them.
