  1. Apparently Falcon Management Services Ltd have had their membership of the Credit Services Association terminated.
  2. Having used KwikFit for the last 20 odd years I was a little too trusting today....I needed 2 new front tyres, looked up the price and it said this (and indeed I have just checked again and it is saying the same price below !!). Not only that but another very local tyre company were quoting the same price (online price from the other company WASN'T an internet offer either.... Fine I thought..... This is what KwikFit were stating on their web site Make Model Tyre Size Price Quantity Total Continental Premium Contact 2 215/55H18 £140.00 £280.00 Standard Valve £4.75 2 £9.50 Wheel Balancing £6.75 2 £13.50 Environmental Tyre Disposal £1.50 2 £3.00 Total £306.00 When arriving there the chap said i'll check your alignment too and it would take about an hour, I said ok fine..... I got back and he said it had all been done, it came to paying in the office, and he started showing me diagrams of my wheel alignment (which didn't mean a lot to me to be honest). He tapped the screen a few times and I could have sworn he said £409.....I paid and only AFTER I paid did he print off the receipt, slipped it in a nice KwikFit enevelope, and as I was in a rush to get back on my 4 hour journey into the snow I didn't check the bill...I get home a couple of hours ago and the receipt shows this Tyres 2 (exactly as named above) - £191 each x 2 = £382:00 WHEEL BALANCE x 2 @ £6.75 = £13:50 ECO TYRE DISPOSAL x 2 = £3:00 NITROGEN INFLATION x 2 @ £1:50 = £3:00 VALVE x 2 @ £4.75 = £9:50 CHECK & FRONT ADJUST = £39;95 REAR TOE ADJUST = £19:95 REAR CAMBER ADJUST = £19;95 TOTAL COST £490.85 an increase of way over 50% and not only have they 'inflated' (excuse the pun) the price of the tyres by £38 EACH they have the nerve to also add on all the extras too.... Needless to say I am more than a little peeved about this, I have never been ripped off like this before, especially so as you build up a certain amount of trust with a company like this after a number of years.... I will not be using this company again and will go to a local supplier, all I can say is get them to quote whilst you are there, if they ask about anything you aren't sure of then ask them how much it will cost.......otherwise stay well clear and support a smaller business.
