About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Kwik Fit garage one morning, a regular asked the mechanic: ‘Hey, why does your coffee always smell so good?’ The mechanic replied, ‘Oh, that’s not coffee.’ The mechanic grinned slyly and added, ‘Actually, it’s espresso from my secret stash.’ A delivery driver overheard and quipped, ‘No wonder you’re always so cheerful!’ The regular laughed heartily and said, ‘Guess I’ll keep coming back for that “not-coffee” then.’

2. In the dead of night, a delivery driver pulled up to Kwik Fit with an urgent job. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something odd: the streetlight directly outside the workshop seemed to flicker every time he walked past it. Curious, he approached the light and noticed that its reflection in the shop window followed him everywhere. With a smile, he realized it was just his own headlamp beam playing tricks on him. That night, Kwik Fit became known not for fixing cars but for entertaining delivery drivers with its quirky optical illusion.

3. In the middle of a routine oil change, a customer asked the mechanic, 'Do you ever notice how quiet it gets here when someone leaves their headlights on?' The mechanic shrugged and replied, ‘You’d be surprised.’ Just then, an old van pulled up outside with its headlights still on. The garage fell silent as everyone watched the lights slowly fade into darkness. A few minutes later, the door opened again, and out stepped a delivery driver, sheepishly saying, “Sorry, mate—must’ve fallen asleep.”

4. At dawn, a sleepy delivery driver pulled into Kwik Fit and muttered, ‘Why is there a sign that says “Open 24 Hours” when it’s clearly closed?’ Suddenly, an old mechanic appeared from behind the garage doors with a sleepy smile. 'We’re always open,' he yawned. 'Just not necessarily staffed.' He pointed towards a small door next to him. The driver knocked gently—inside, a gruff voice groaned, ‘Who da f*** is it now?’
