  • "Yet again another poor show by Halfords Milton Keynes, I used the drop down menu and had the part confirmed it was correct by Mayank, only to get to the store and then fitted the bulbs for them not to work!"
  • "When I rode the bike after leaving the store, it was very ‘rigid' took a lot of effort even on the lowest gear to get the bike going."

Cons:

  • "Not so great - I really want to like Halfords, but the website won't tell you where their secondhand bikes are and the chat and phone staff are frankly useless."
  • "Absolutely shocking Halfords!!! They apply to stay open as essential to offer mot and car checks at a very small discounted rate for key workers.... but only if your NHS staff not care workers, lorry drivers, or any other key workers."
  • "As the staff are very young I believe more focus and training is required to deliver excellent and memorable customer service."
  • "The place could do with a sproose up and it would be good to see some form of permanent covered bay for the fitters."
  • "When I was purchasing my bike there was no option for insurance, I only had it for 2 weeks and it got stolen unfortunately."
  • "Install an elevator or a very long ramp that leads around the edge of the store."
  • "For goodness sake, four times in the last month I had to take my son's bicycle in for repair."
