About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to Kwik Fit for routine maintenance, he noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside the workshop. Curious but not alarmed, he parked and walked in—only to see a mechanic dancing enthusiastically to what appeared to be an old folk tune on the radio. As it turned out, the mechanic was just grooving to his favorite childhood song. The delivery driver joined in with a smile, and before long, other mechanics were singing along too. By lunchtime, everyone in the shop was happily humming that same old tune—and the place had never felt more like home. Moral of the story? Sometimes, even a simple tune can bring people together.

2. While waiting for tire repairs one afternoon, an impatient customer muttered under his breath, ‘This place must be cursed—my mechanic always disappears when I’m here!’ Suddenly, a gruff voice called out from behind the counter: 'Hey, mate! Just because you’re bored doesn’t mean I’ve disappeared!' The mechanic emerged with a toolbox and a smile, and everyone burst into laughter. Turns out he had just stepped outside for a smoke.

3. At dawn, when most mechanics were still stretching their arms, an old dog began visiting Kwik Fit daily. One morning, a delivery driver noticed the dog sitting patiently next to a freshly repaired tire. Curious, he asked the mechanic what it meant. With a smile, the mechanic replied, 'He’s our good luck charm—every time he comes, business booms!' And so, the old dog continued his visits, bringing not just good humor but also steady work to Kwik Fit.

4. At midnight, when the streets were quiet and the stars were bright, a neighbor drove up to Kwik Fit with a strange request. ‘I need you to check something,’” whispered the neighbor, peering through the window. ‘My headlights only work when I sing “Happy Birthday.”’ The mechanic scratched his head, then grinned. ‘No worries, mate—we’ll get that sorted right away!’ And so, at Kwik Fit, even at midnight, music sometimes helps fix cars.
