  • "I've visited Halford in Mansfield 4 times for my bike. Each time, I had to wait over an hour for some customer service."
  • "Just be careful if you take a Toyota Yaris in for a wheel bearing. In the end they told me they could only do it if they used Toyota part and the repair would be £500 not £220 as quoted."
  • "Wanted a new headlight bulb fitting, the engineer who did the fitting explained it would be best to fit a new bulb in the other front light as the bulbs would not match-thought yes good idea BUT was not told a second fitting charge would be applied. Be warned."
  • "booked online for 10am, got there at 10am after planning for the day.. to be told will be more like 2pm."

  • "I have also found that Halfords are approximately half the price of the main dealer with a better service!"
  • "Had a new battery fitted. Battery prices were very competitive (in some cases were half the price of other retailers)."
  • "Halfords may not be the cheapest but you get what you pay for and that little bit more ☺️"

Cons:

  • "Please price your goods and services better, you're prices are too high."
  • "Was told repairs would come to around £2500 with multiple things broken and would be an insurance job."
  • "Do not use avoid if you don't want faults added to your mot test that are not existing."
  • "Had a bike 2 weeks and been back to the shop with it 3 times with the same fault. Refused a refund as the wheels are dirty and not resalable."
  • "booked online for 10am, got there at 10am after planning for the day.. to be told will be more like 2pm."
  • "Try elsewhere .... All they want is money out of you. Failed MOT had the work done and took it back for free re test and was told some of the work hadn't been done.... Even though I have the paperwork to prove It had been done."
  • "Ok. I'm a woman. A woman with a broken car. Engine warning light on. But to be given a quote for £1700 for a new EGR valve AND a new cooler screams WE DON'T WANT TO DO THIS JOB."

  • "It says silver service Forks wiped down ? Bike had same dirt on from when I dropped it off."
