quote: OT, but the only reason I dislike them is because a mate took his Ph2 Clio down to a local McConnechy's to get a universal backbox fitted. Long story short, they fitted the back box with a dent in the tailpipe, obviously showing that it had been dropped. After having a closer look the 'bracket' holding it on was shoddily welded to say the least and it was so loose it could move about 3 inches in either direction around the exhaust. Then when my mate said to the manager he came out and proceeded to use the ball pein of a hammer to take the dent out, which my mate thought was fine :|. I'd have kicked up fuck wanting a new one put on tbh. It all ended up with his full exhaust dropping a week later because the backbox had pulled it down due to the shitey 'bracket' failing. The pipe split at the manifold and my diddy of a mate paid them £220 to fix it. Pure cowboys. I know not everywhere's the same with these places but it's certainly put me off ever using them for anything other than their toilet facilities. | |

Kwik Fit are £12 a tyre last time I checked, can't imagine McConnechy's being any cheaper. Plus I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole. | |
