Mentalmac Posted February 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 My wife took her car to KF for an MOT. It failed on worn from tyres, and as she couldn't get in touch with me to check what I thought, she panicked and handed over the cash for MOT and 2 Bridgestone potenza's at a cost of £140 each. When she eventually got through to me, I told her to bring the front tyres home as there was no way they were illegal. My dad took them to a VOSA mot station, and they put a jig on each tyre, measuring the tread at 6mm!!! A quick call to the area manager for KF and they had to refund all of the money we paid out for the MOT and the 2 tyres. I'm sure they have a target they are supposed to make out of each customer walking in the door, often met my scaremongering tactics for parts that don't need changing. Friendly independent garage is the way forward. Stu Wow, now that's a story and a half - glad you got your money back. Guess you got to keep the tyres they put on as well?
