Customer Service

Pros:

  • "Carlos was amazing and helped me so much. I am now a member of the club, and I couldn't be more grateful to Halfords for their excellent service!"
  • "The assistant on the till counter was super friendly and helpful as well, unfortunately I don't remember her name. Well done, Halfords!"
  • "Mechanics were polite, knowledgable and explained all was good and well and offered some advice on maintaining the car etc."
  • "The staff was absolutely amazing, very friendly and professional too. Thank you so very much for making it such a lovely MOT experience I ever had."

Cons:

  • "Worse than useless. I arrived for my pre booked appointment on time was told I would have to wait 45 minutes before they can start the job."
  • "When mentioning this wasn't told to us the first time, the member of staff was rude and argumentative, blaming us for this."
  • "If I could give zero stars I would. Absolute bullying horrible people. Do not go here if you want any sort of professionalism."
  • "I usually go to Costco for tyres however tried Halfords this time as price was a couple Β£'s cheaper so I booked however on tyre installation you'll miss some services."

Booking and Service Process

Pros:

  • "Booked online. Simple enough booking system. Dropped of my car in the morning. Got a call later in the day to pick up. Smooth process from start to finish."
  • "Great service as always, the only place I take my cars too now."
  • "Had my MOT here. Booked online. Simple enough booking system."
  • "Easy to arrange an appointment on line, excellent and fast service from these guys."

Cons:

  • "Booked to get wheel alignment and balancing and was cancelled a day later cuz apparently they couldn’t get details on my car (an mr2) for the alignment, lazy."
  • "Rather than asking for my locknut they emptied the coats & bags onto the garage floor. Then took an hour to fit two tyres."
  • "Overall dissatisfied to say the least. Dropped off my vehicle within the pre-booked time slot for a puncture repair. The technician checked the tyre whilst I was onsite to see if they were runflat before I left."
  • "Not happy with DPF cleaning service which was mentioned online versus the version received from Auto centre."

  • "Great straightforward Honest advise on my car professional and friendly guys, good thing I like is that you car service history is all logged on their system like a patients reportπŸ‘"

Cons:

  • "They will advertise Β£30 service & MOT and free brakes offer don't fall for it, when you go to collect the vehicle they will hit you with a bill so large, you'll regret that you went there."

  • "Went for an MOT. Was failed for 2 reasons - headlight beam incorrect and damage to ball joint dust cover. Was told needed new headlights to correct and replace suspension arm."
