ByHow to Get a Kwik Fit Refund Without the Hassle
Kwik Fit might sound like a gym franchise, but you likely know it as a car repair franchise with 600 locations throughout the U.K. and Northern Ireland. They provide comprehensive automotive repairs, including on tyres, brakes, and air-conditioning recharges as starters.
While their work reputation is usually good, you may want a refund on a car repair you deemed was faulty. It can happen sometimes, or cancelling a work order before it's done.
Going about a seeking is possible, but often complicated. What if you had a tool to make the refund go faster? DoNotPay is the perfect solution!
How Do You Get a Refund from a Kwik Fit?
To find out about refunds and cancellations of contracts at Kwik Fit, you need to visit their website and read their Terms and Conditions page.
Here's what you need to know about :
- You can cancel your work contract with them during a 14-day "Cooling-Off Period." This means 14 days after they accept your work order.
- Kwik Fit still holds the right to start work on your car before the 14-day cooling-off period ends. In this case, it would be too late to officially cancel.
- If you successfully cancel your contract, Kwik Fit will refund everything you paid for products or services via the method you chose for payment.
Keep in mind that if you decide to cancel your contract once work has already started on your car, Kwik Fit holds the right to still charge you for the work done.
Who Do You Contact About Your Kwik Fit Refund?
Here's what you need to know about contacting Kwik Fit if you decide you deserve a refund:
- Since you'll be working in-person with local repair specialists at your Kwik Fit, you can usually deal with refund matters face to face.
- Refunds are not usually handled by phone, but they do have a customer care number to try at 0800 75 76 77. This is available seven days per week.
- Kwik Fit does offer strong guarantees on many of their repair services. Lifetime guarantees apply to things like batteries and brake service. Limited guarantees are available for many other repairs they offer. It's worth taking advantage of these if you think the work done is entitled to a refund.
Considering you're working directly with management at your local Kwik Fit, refunds typically happen without having to wait for a cheque by post.
What Issues Might You Face Getting a Refund from a Kwik Fit?
According to Reviews.io, Kwik Fit received an F rating for getting quick refunds to customers. Many people complain that they tried to get refunds after making appointments, and it was impossible to get one right away.
As a result, Kwik Fit is noted for being more difficult to get refunds from than many other repair centres throughout the U.K. Some reviewers say it took over 5 days to get a refund, and others say they were still waiting to get one.
It's still possible to get a refund, though having a service available to get it done more efficiently is what you need. Dealing with refunds yourself when you have little time is not what you or anyone else wants.
