Took very 3 days to do a four and a half hour job, then claimed that the rear brakes were stuck on, failed the MOT and wanted another grand to sort it out. Odd that I'm still getting >40mpg in a Discovery Sport and the rear calipers are less than 15 months old and the wheels turn 100% freely.
They also fitted the wrong tyres, cheaper ones with worse fuel efficiency and wet grip ratings.
Reply from Kirbys:
Hi,
As mentioned before, your car was booked on Saturday, we started the job and we called you on Saturday afternoon to discuss the car not being ready yet and we will sort it out on Monday, you mentioned you are on holiday and would be fine with us bringing it on Monday, on Sundays as stated on our business profile we are closed. Monday was a bank holiday which we came to the garage just to finish your car. So this first point we discussed with you and you were completely fine with it.
You complained regarding the quotation for brake calipers, this is an offer through ClickMechanic which you do not have to accept.
We have to quote work via ClickMechanic as this is their policy. Regarding the price I cannot change anything about this as this is between you and ClickMechanic.
As for the failure of the MOT. This is exactly the same as the previous MOT which was done by another MOT garage on the 18th of march this year. As mentioned before this cannot be passed without testing. The roller bank tells us it won't be a pass and this is not something we can change. I've mentioned before, you are welcome to sort out the issue and bring the car back for a retest.
The tyre you ordered is a budget tyre, we have used a different brand which is mid range tyre, because we cannot get the Kustone tyre, we decided to give you a better tyre instead.
As for the washer fluid, you are completely right and we have forgotten about that. We are happy to sort that out for you as we agree this should've been done. When you come for the MOT retest, we can sort this out for you.
With kind regards,
Adam

Excellent service, although they found the problem ( swimming pool in lower boot) it was impossible for them to fix at this time but the mechanic will endeavour to find the parts needed and come back with a new/used quote
This garage will be used by me in future & highly recommended by myself
