Kwikfit
People that waste my time because they have no regard for my existence REALLY get me boiling.
I have just wasted three hours of my life dealing with the fuckwits at Kwikfit Rugby. Rang them on Friday re my g/f's Ford maverick exhaust system quoting the reg number so they could order the correct part. "No problem" they said "It'll be here on Tuesday".
Drove to the g/f's house and followed her in to the Kwikfit twatatorium. Before I would allow the troglodytes access to start their overpriced butchery, I asked to inspect the part. It was the wrong one. Head retard assured me "It's a pattern part, it must be the right one!".
Once I'd finally got him to actually LOOK at the car he reluctantly agreed that the part was wrong, cheerily assuring us that he could "Get one in this week". Twunt.
I asked him how much WE could charge for 6 man-hours of wasted time on my g/f's and my part and he looked like I'd suddenly started speaking martian!
My agument for compensation ran thus:-
I'd given him the reg number so he could order the CORRECT part.
I'd waited days for the part to come in.
I'd taken time off from work to get the vehicle to him on the understanding that the correct part was actually available and in stock at the depot of despair that is the Rugby Kwikfit.
None of the things he'd promised actually happened, therefore he'd wasted our time, therefore I want the time back (impossible I know) or he could recompense us for the time wasted by his company's incompetence.
Neither was forthcoming. Went to another exhaust supplier who not only had the part in stock, but would supply and fit £46.00 cheaper than Kwikfit.
Guess where all our business is going in future?

People who waste my time are all cunts, but Kwikfit Rugby are the worst.

Die soon you scumbags.

And relax!

I had this same problem, but not at Rugby.
I went back twice as they had the part in, but had ordered the wrong one. When the correct part arrived they had signed it in to the warehouse, but forgotten to take it from the back of the delivery van; so he drove off with it again.

Admittedly when they did get the part in they fitted it for 1/3 of the price originally quoted.

Bloody Kwikfit scamming bi<grumble>
As I mentioned in another post, I run around in big old Citroens. I had an XM a few years ago, which needed tyres. Kwik-Fit was about the only place open, so they got to do the two front ones (they were the worst). I phoned up a bit later to see if it was ready.

"Oh no", said the spoddy Kwik-Fit arse, "it's got dangerously worn shock absorbers, we can't let you drive it, it's dangerous y'see"
"Oh righty", I said, "You go right ahead and change them then" knowing full well the conversation I was going to have when I got there.
Got to Kwik-Fsck - "Can I see the ones you took off?"
"No, they're away in the skip"
"Ok, but you did change the shock absorbers, yes?"
"Oh yes" and he proceeds to point to the poster showing the insides of a shock absorber and blather about how they wear out.
"Can I see the manager?"
"Why?"
"Because you haven't changed those"
"Yes we have"
"That's clever, because it doesn't even have them. It's got hydraulic suspension. Manager, please."

200 quid's worth of tyres for 120 quid, "and don't bring it back here". Result.

Kwikfit? Forget it.
Have a shufty on 'tinternet and phone my local tyre bloke, who'll pricematch AND have the chuffing things in next day.

Unless the Domestic Pitviper blows a tyre on a Saturday while I'm at work, abandons the car (refusing to call out the AA because 'I'd feel stupid' despite being on her own with two small sprogs), and gets her Dad to come and bolt on the spacesaver. A 40 mile round trip when the bought and paid for AA service would have been there in a few minutes...and would have allowed her to drive the 1/2 mile to local tyre emporium.

Leaving me with no options, as only bloody KwikFit are open on a Sunday in my neck of the woods, but to shell out over £100 for a 'budget' tyre. 'Budget' one's hoop. I get Discovery tyres for £65 fitted, and she drives a Fiat.
