I visited yesterday as I’d lost my locking wheel nut and needed the old ones removing - the guy in reception was super friendly as was the mechanic who actually found the original locking nut in a secret compartment and was honest enough to tell me and thus saved me money - very grateful and happy for their transport- as Annie would say “I’ll be back” 😊👍
Did a great job getting my car a fresh MOT, very reasonable. They did it quickly and were super friendly.
I had my MOT and repairs completed here and while the job itself was completed quickly and the final price was eventually adjusted, way I was spoken to when I asked a simple question about the labour time was extremely rude. When I asked why 3.5 hours of labour had been charged for work that took around 2 hours, I was met with comments like “they work quick” and “if it took 6 hours, would you want us to charge you for 6". When I asked to speak to the manager I was told the manager would “say the same and more.” The tone was unnecessarily intimidating for what was a reasonable query. It left me feeling uncomfortable and will certainly not be using this garage again.
Bought a car (Honda Civic Mk8) from them a little over a year ago and it's been absolutely reliable. Passed it's next mot with only a bulb out. There was a small leak in the boot I wish attention was drawn to in the ad however it's a common fault with the vehicle and not a hard fix at all.
Quick Fit quoted £650 for an exhaust replacement, while Kinson MOT quoted just £175 for the same job. Massive difference and fantastic service from Kinson MOT. I’ll definitely be taking my cars back to them in the future. Avoid Quick Fit at all costs. Well done to the team at Kinson MOT.
I had a mot cancelled on me last minute and luckily KMC were able to squeeze me in. Super helpful on the phone and in person. My car passed its mot, and they completed it quickly and on time, something I’ve not found at other garages. They were also able to give me advice on other work that I requested doing and I will book in for this in the future as cost seemed reasonable. They have gained a long term customer from me, highly recommend
We got a beautiful blue Peugeot from them and the car is great..had an issue and because I work for NHS in the community and explained I needed to stay mobile they leant me a feisty little Clio with lots of character whilst they got round to fixing my car with no quibbles at all. Georgina the lady answering the phone and keeping things all together was reassuring, kind and helpful. Perfect help and caring. Car back on road with shiny sensor and deserving a polish. Thankyou to all at Kinson MOT centre. Amazing friendly service.
