Frequently Asked Questions When You Shop At Kwik Fit

How can I find out my tyre size?

There are two ways to find out your tyre size. Your vehicle handbook will include details of the correct tyre size. You can also check the side wall of your existing tyres. Click on Further Information for a guide to the writing on your tyres.

What are you doing to safeguard your staff and customers during COVID-19?

We have put additional procedures and practices into effect to ensure we’re doing everything possible to ensure our staff and customers are as safe as possible. These include:

• Wearing protective gloves when receiving your keys and driving your car as well as changing gloves when we are finished.
• Always fitting your car with a protective seat cover.
• Verbally going through our quote with you on any required work. For now we have stopped the practice of getting signatures on both our quotations and in-store tablets.
• Increased cleaning of our reception area and toilets.
• Removing communal reading materials and stopping the use of our coffee machines.

We’re asking all customers to help us by:

• Respecting “social distancing”. This protects you as well as our staff members.
• Politely asking that you wear a facemask or covering unless you are exempt due to age or health reasons.
• Notifying a member of staff that you have arrived and waiting in your car. A member of staff will come to your car and assist you in order of customer arrival time.
• Using the bin provided to deposit any drinks bottles, cans, food packaging or tissues before leaving.
• Taking any reading materials such as newspapers or magazines away with you when leaving.

Do I need to wear a face mask/covering to visit a Kwik Fit centre?

Our colleagues will wear face masks in line with the current guidelines applicable to the location of our centres and respectfully ask our customers to do the same.

Additionally, we want our customers to feel as comfortable as possible. So if the local guidelines do not require face masks to be worn but you would prefer our colleagues wear one during your visit then please ask and we will comply with your request.

We also will respect any customer or colleague who are exempt from wearing a face covering for age, health or disability reasons and not require written evidence such as card or badge to be shown as evidence of exemption.

Where guidelines require face coverings to be worn these do not have to be face masks that you buy from a shop; they can also be made at home using any cloth or textiles that have access to, but they must cover your nose and mouth.

Can I still come to the centre without a booking?

Yes but we strongly advise booking an appointment by calling us or using our website.

Vehicle maintenance is not always predictable so you may need urgent work to ensure your vehicle is safe; such as tyre replacement or puncture repair, brake or other vehicle safety check.
