Customer Service

Pros:

  • "The 2 female members of staff that assisted me in purchasing an item were the most helpful that I have met in a very long time."
  • "Very kind and patient staff team and very knowledgeable too."
  • "The service I received from Dan was amazing, thank you. He gave me 100% customer service from beginning to End."
  • "Couldn't have got a more helpful, efficient and friendly service."

Cons:

  • "Really poor advice from the bike section. In fact, they lied to me telling me that the problem could not be fixed."
  • "Would advise people to go elsewhere!!!!!"
  • "the phone in service prior to talking directly to the technician is sterile & inefficient system it's like talking to robots."
  • "Disorganised quoted two different prices neither of which was what I was finally charged."
  • "Absolutely atrocious, waited 10 minutes to pick up an item I bought online because of the guy on the till was serving another 'customer' faffing around with tools."
  • "The man doing my fitting was also 15 mins late and there wasn't a huge amount of urgency. Order cancelled."
  • "Service extremely poor. Told bikes were in stock... One excited kid then told out of stock... One upset child."

Product and Store Experience

Pros:

  • "Needed to buy wiper blades for my car. Used the tablet to input car details, and it came up with best options to get."
  • "The premises were also very clean and Covid friendly."
  • "Ordered online and collected in Store and whilst there discovered something else I wanted."
  • "Nice bike, good value for Money, we also took a good promotion and we save 25% as we took our old Halford back as part of the payment."
  • "Visited the site many times, and on each occasion I was served with respect and fast."
  • "Online purchase was an easy process."
  • "The store was well stocked, and I was able to find what I needed quickly."

Cons:

  • "Prices are not the cheapest. I found comparable parts here were the same price or more than my local independent retailers."
  • "Disappointing. Ordered a new radio online and I was phoned and informed that all the parts I needed would be in store when I arrive for my fitting. They weren't."
  • "Non tacky? Literally all the glue came off this tape and even glue and tar remover wouldn't get this glue off."
  • "Nearly everyone in store were not wearing face masks despite being in the middle of a pandemic with the store showing zero regard for customer and public health."
  • "Booked 10am battery change for my wife’s car as tight schedule. Turned up no one to do it waiting 20mins only to be told I had to pay another £98."
  • "Got home and saw the cover was not fitted correctly, two bolts were loose and one not even in its location hole."
  • "Waited a very long time for my bicycle repair to be completed and couldn't get through to the store by phone to see if it was ready."
