Bloody tyres!!!!!!!!

My car's MOT is due to expire on Sunday so I've booked it in for an MOT today (Thursday). When I was on the phone to the guy at the garage he suggested that I take it to Kwik-Fit first just to check if it needed any tyres prior to the MOT. Good idea I thought...off I go to Kwik-Fit, where a fitter checked the tyres over and said 2 were fine, however 2 were borderline. As the car is leased, the lease company tends to want the tyres to be illegal before they are replaced so he suggested I come back on the following week (this week) as more would have worn down. So, I go back to Kwik-Fit on Tuesday of this week where I see another chap. He tells me that all 4 need replacing and 3 are illegal! Of course, they don't have them in stock so I have a bit of a nervous wait to see if the tyres come in to be fitted in readiness for the car's MOST today! If the tyres were that bad, why didn't the first Kwik-Fit guy pick up on this? This could all have been sorted out last week. Anyway, as it happened the tyres did come in, although I had to wait over 2 hours for them to be fitted. So much for "Kwik"-Fit!
