Cath_T   10 #1 Posted March 30, 2011 Hi,  My son needs this work doing on his car, he has got a price from Kwik fit that sent him a funny colour.  Can anyone recommend a good garage for this work to be done?  It needs: Front Suspension Arm (Kwikfit say the rubber brushes are rubbing?)  New Back Calipers  New Discs and Pads all the way round.  Any useful advice would be very much appreciated.  Cath Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

PaymePal   10 #5 Posted March 30, 2011 Only Kwik-Fit have said it needs these parts, I highly urge you to get a second and possibly third opinion and then quotes for work if any is needed at all... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Tomm06 Â Â 12 #12 Posted March 30, 2011 Once took my car in for a quick tracking, it ended up coming out with twice as many problems and they wanted 70squid to fix them, so I took it down Top Tread and they charged me 15squid to track it. Â I'd also reccomend Top Tread just outside town, I can't possibly say a bad word about them. Had a problem with my car recently, again...tracking, when I asked them to do it, they held off,and when I got back took me through and showed me the other problems it had, and even told me, that they could do the work if I wanted them too, but there wasn't a 100% chance that it would cure it. Really did surprise me, considering all the horror stories you hear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
