You might be scheduling a car service or MOT in Ramsgate, or getting new tyres or other components for your vehicle. Whatever auto-related assistance you need, you can put your trust in the Kwik Fit technicians at our centre at 2 Westcliffe Road.
Heading away from Queens Street, we are on the left just up from Waitrose supermarket and opposite Queens House. We have 12 spaces for parking on the forecourt, with two reserved for MOT testing and a dedicated space for blue badge holders located just outside reception.
Once your car is in the capable hands of our technicians you can decide whether to wait in our Ramsgate centre or get out and about for a walk while we complete the work.
If you decide to explore Ramsgate while your car service is carried out, there's plenty to see and do to pass the time. Just a five minute walk from the main high street and the Royal Harbour, you can choose between shopping or sightseeing. The Royal Harbour boasts the biggest Wetherspoons pub in the country at the recently refurbished Royal Pavilion. There are also a selection of other bars, cafes and restaurants if you fancy some food and drink. And, at the top of the beach, you'll find the entrance to Ramsgate Tunnels. Built in the Second World War to shelter 60,000 people, it's now open to the public.
If you need to use public transport, we're well situated. There's a bus stop directly outside the centre offering travel to Westwood Cross Shopping Centre, Broadstairs and Margate.
Our centre delivers a comprehensive list of services from tests and assessments to repair work, so you can get all the assistance you need in one place. For more information, or to book your car in for an appointment, simply call the team at our Ramsgate centre on Westcliffe Road.

Your tyre size can be found on the sidewall of your current tyre and is a sequence of numbers and letters. The most common tyre size in the UK is 205/55R16 but there are many variations so it’s important to check your existing tyre first before searching for tyres.
Tip: Take a photo of your existing tyre sidewall to make it easier to identify your tyre size using the guide below.
The first three digits. This displays the width of the tyre in millimetres. A tyre marked 225 will measure 225mm across the tread from sidewall to sidewall.
Aspect Ratio
The fourth and fifth digits of the tyre code that immediately follow the tyre width. The aspect ratio or profile height of the tyre sidewall is expressed as a percentage of the tyre width. So an aspect ratio of 55 for example means that the profile height of the tyre is 55% of its width.
Rim Diameter
The next two digits represent the size of the wheel rim that the tyre can be fitted to. It is also the diameter of the tyre from bead to bead. So a tyre marked 16 will fit on a 16-inch wheel rim.
Speed Rating
The speed rating of a tyre is represented by a letter of the alphabet at the end of the tyre size code and indicates the maximum speed capability of the tyre. Tyres receive a speed rating based on a series of tests which measure the tyres capability to handle a set speed for a prolonged period of time.
Select your tyre speed rating to find out the maximum speed your tyres can maintain.
If you are unsure what speed rating you need, be sure to check your vehicle handbook. Choosing a lower speed rating than that recommended by your vehicle manufacturer could potentially invalidate your insurance.
Load Rating
The load index provides information on the maximum weight capability for the tyre. The load index is a numerical code that can be located just after the tyre size marking and before the speed rating.
Select your load index to find out the maximum load capability for your tyres.
Although not illegal, it is not advisable to have tyres with a lower speed rating or load index than the manufacturer recommended tyre specification for your vehicle, or to have a combination of different tyre construction types. Consult your vehicle handbook to confirm your vehicle’s tyre speed rating and load index as well as any additional requirements.
