THE Mayor of Wirral, Councillor Hugh Lloyd officially opened Kwik-Fit motor repair centre in Birkenhead on Friday.

The centre, based on Argyle Street South, Borough Road, has been serving Birkenhead for 15 years and has now been traded in for a new model, which promises to supply 100 per cent customer delight to Wirral's motorists.

Centre Manager Steve Burghall, who started as a fast fitter, has moved up the career ladder from supervisor to his current position. He has gained a high level of training and with the rest of his four strong team of local men, he is confident the new look centre will delight new and existing customers.

"It is very important for Kwik-Fit to support the local area," said Steve. "We hope Kwik-Fit will continue to expand in Birkenhead creating further employment for the local community, and we've got some fabulous offers in place."

Customers can enjoy savings of up to 20 per cent when four Good Year Tyres are purchased and up to 15 per cent when two remould tyres are bought, as well as 40 per cent off exhausts.

The new centre is open Monday to Friday from 8am to 6pm, late night Wednesday until 8pm, Saturday between 9am and 5pm, and Sunday from 9am until 5pm.
