Kwik-Fit?
My husband took the car to a place called Kwik-Fit the other day to get the oil changed. The mechanic who has been working on the car is far away so he’s decided to try out some places nearby. We were spoiled in Florida because we had the best mechanic ever.
With a name like Kwik-Fit, we expected it to be something like Jiffy Lube. It’s a chain. It has the word quick–though strangely spelled–in the title. You would expect their service to be quick.
When my husband came home only a few minute after leaving, I knew that either Kwik-Fit really lived up to their name or there was a problem.
“I have to make an appointment,” he said.
“You’re kidding.”
“Guess when the first available appointment was.”
“When?”
“Next week.”
I was shocked and appalled but the shock and appallation (Is that a word?) grew even deeper when my husband told me that he’d have to leave the car there all day.
He asked the guy behind the counter, “If I drop it off at 9 in the morning, it should be done by 2:30, right?”
“Maybe,” the guy said.
Maybe? How long does it take to do an oil change. My husband said that when he was there, there was only one car in the whole place. Kwik-Fit should definitely change it’s name.
