This review concerns the Bath Road, Slough Kwik Fit site only.
13/10/16, 12noon - The warning light on my dash appeared advising the front offside tyre pressure was low. This was the second time in a matter of days and having pumped it up the day before, I knew it would be a nail or a screw. Sure enough I located the shiny head of a screw smiling back at me...slow puncture, but I knew it could be easily plugged/patched as it was in the centre of the wide tread pattern.
Close by was the Slough Bath Road Kwik Fit - I pulled into the car park and walked into the reception area. There were 2 staff members sat at their shared long desk. I stood in the middle of both of them waiting for one of them to look up at me. After about 30secs, the Asian male member of staff did so and said in a dower, miserable voice, "You ok there?"
I explained my issue to him. His female colleague never looked up from her paperwork. He looked down and flicked through what appeared to be a diary bookings book, looking back at me and in a most disinterested, 'I really want to go home' tone said, "There's 4 cars in front of you, when one's done I can get you in". "How long will that be?" I enquired. "Maybe 30 or 40minutes not sure".
Totally unimpressed, so I left without another word being said.
Compare this to ProTyres, a mile further down the road.
Instantly upon arrival, "Good afternoon, how can we help you?" Said the attentive male member of staff, with a cheery smile. I explained the problem...
"That's ok we can fix that for you, but unfortunately there will be a wait time of about 30minutes. Can you wait in our seating area and we will get to you as soon as we can?"
Oh well I thought ok, "But the only problem is my dog is in my car".
"Fine, you can bring your dog in here if you want whilst you wait"
Then a female member of staff said, "Oh yes, l love dogs, I keep Doggy biscuits behind the counter here!"
Fantastic I thought, free coffee and dog biscuits! And so the dog and I were made to feel like well cared for customers.
The moral of the tale, poor, miserable customer service - don't bother going to Kwik Fit, Slough! read more
