No. Last time I went in to Kwik Fit was with the smart and the guy asked me how to open the front bonnet to see the engine

.
You could always tell them where they are when you take the car in.
Whats it for? Tyres or tracking or something?

I always use Cooper Bros in wishaw - they are much more reliable IMHO
Focus ST estate, i3s and more pushbikes than strictly necessary.
....did i ever tell you about the Evora and VX220 i used to own?

Kwik fit are the mcdonalds of Mechanics. Last time I took a car there - the guy didn't have the right bracket but put one on that "would-hold-just-fine". Fell off about 2 days later, leaving me stranded.
Guy at kwik fit then tried to blame me telling me that he had called me to come in to get the correct bracket fitted!!!
To top it all off their customer service dept phone me to ask if i was 100% delighted with the service I had received. Told them where to go.
Oh and they were going to charge me £20 a tyre just to fit mine!
