  • "An absolute rip off & the company wants to charge silly prices just to tighten nuts & bolts or just to even do a diagnostic on the car."

  • "Good price tyres tho."
  • "I originally wrote this review a year ago but am updating it because recently Halfords have gone above and beyond for sorting out my car with excellent customer service skills, being friendly, honest, helpful and kind as well as amazing value for money."
  • "Very friendly crew at garage who did their best to do essential work to get car working safely without breaking the bank."
  • "Great price on servicing."
  • "The work came in on cost, was quick and efficient."

Cons:

  • "Quoted me over £400 for rear brake pads and 2 front tyres."
  • "COMPLETE RIP OFF MERCHANTS, and unless you have more money than sense.. stay far far away."
  • "They have a tendency to break tyre pressure sensors when fitting tyres, the vehicle is never ready on time especially when you leave it with them."
  • "Traumatic... calling Halfords cowboys would be giving them credit because they are not mechanical engineers, nor are they cowboys... They are RIPOFF MERCHANTS - AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS."
