About us
Everyone knows Kwik Fit for our tyres, but these days we do a whole lot more. Servicing, fleet services, fast-fit – whatever comes our way, our teams have what it takes to get the job done properly. And whilst half of our MOT and service appointments are booked in advance, either online or over the phone, we are still ready to save the day for customers who need us at the drop of a hat. You could say we’ve learnt to expect the unexpected!
That’s what it’s all about for us – being there for customers in their hour of need and delivering friendly service of the highest quality when they need it most. It’s what makes our centres a valued part of their local communities.
And we’re just as dedicated to our staff. As part of the people team you’ll be playing a vital role in getting our teams ready for an electrified future, charged with developing their skills on the latest vehicle technology and helping them get to grips with all the technology in their workplace too. This includes your development too; we provide training delivery and facilitation skills development, alongside ongoing CPD covering both technical and soft skills to keep you up to date.
Sounds good, doesn’t it? That’s why we say, ‘you can’t get better’.
