I would never use them through choice!
I have to use them with my work car and they are just con artists. I had one guy, draw circles on all 4 of my tyres which were only 3000 miles old saying all of them had bulges and should be replaced. When i had a look, they were dead flat. Then he told me i needed new front discs (about 10k old roughly) because they had a lip on them at which point he told me he shouldn't even give me my car keys back until the work had been done as it was unsafe. Dont think he appreciated me telling him he either gives me the keys or I'm taking them by force. I only went in to sort a slow puncture! In all fairness, the puncture was right on the edge so i t needed a new tyre so i took it to my local kwik fit where even the guy in there said he was taking the piss trying to get 4 new tyres, discs and pads out of me. It just didnt need them!
More recently, they took 4 hours to fix a puncture and couldn't even do that properly then again came out with a blinder...
