About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Kwik Fit for an oil change. As he walked in, he noticed something odd—a small, rusty keychain shaped like a dinosaur hanging from the counter. Curious, he asked the mechanic what it meant. The mechanic shrugged and said, ‘Oh, that’s just old Mr. Jenkins’ lucky charm. He always leaves one behind when he comes.’ A few days later, another delivery guy arrived with a package for Mr. Jenkins. When he saw the little dinosaur keychain on the counter again, he joked, 'Hey, is this your lucky charm?' The mechanic grinned and replied, 'Yep, and guess what? It works every time!'

2. A curious cat had taken up residence under Kwik Fit's awning. Whenever mechanics worked on cars, it would peek out from behind the tires and watch with intense interest. One day, a delivery driver arrived with an especially large package. The cat, thinking it was another box of toys, bounded over to investigate. It leaped onto the crate, only to discover it was filled with heavy tools. With a startled yowl, it tumbled into the open toolbox, sending spanners flying everywhere. Mechanics laughed so hard they almost forgot to work for half an hour.

3. Have you heard about that strange thing happening at Kwik Fit? Every night around closing time, a mysterious shadow starts cleaning the showroom floor. One night, an exhausted mechanic asked the shadow for help. To his surprise, it turned out to be just an enthusiastic delivery driver named Alex, who’d been told Kwik Fit had the best coffee in town. Since then, every evening after work, Alex cleans the place and makes everyone espressos—all for free.

4. Have you heard about the Kwik Fit where they fix cars and also fix strange noises in the neighborhood? Late one night, a neighbor yelled out, ‘Hey, did anyone hear that engine revving?’ Another voice chimed in from across the street: 'No, but I sure heard someone singing along!' Turns out it was just a delivery driver humming while working on his van. The Kwik Fit guys fixed everything—even if they ended up fixing more than just cars that night.
