  • "Its now been 12 days and still no sign of my wife's car and still no apology from Halfords! A truly dreadful customer experience."
  • "So I had a new battery fitted, went to pay and had forgotten my card... The manager made no efforts to come and speak to me."

Product and Service Quality

Pros:

  • "I looked on online for Mtb gear cable and popped into Truro Halfords and saw the price was better."
  • "Popped in during Lockdown to pick up some servicing consumables, very helpful staff noticed oil prices much more competitive than some National competitors by a significant margin."
  • "Kathy, who repaired the chip in my windscreen was excellent. She did a very good job."

Cons:

  • "Bike was handed over and no checks were made."
  • "Also told which size bike to buy but it is definitely too small and unfortunately I waited too long to contact them."
  • "Checked the Halfords in-store parts guide for the correct part ... they quoted me a higher price than the guide indicated ... and refused to sell me the item at the price indicated on the in store guide."
  • "Dropped off brand new bike bought from Halfords as gears did not change, picked it up when told it was ready only to find they had not fixed the issue at all."

  • "The batteries presented to me were not even near."
  • "Item I went for was incorrectly priced."

Pricing and Transparency

Pros:

  • "The gazeboo was priced at £180 reduced to £120 a significant saving of 30% which enticed us to go ahead with the purchase."
  • "Well informed staff who always go the extra mile."
  • "For basic car stuff, lights, bulbs, oil, etc I think Halfords is perfect."
  • "The staff were really kind and helpful."
  • "I found exactly what I needed at a reasonable price, was asked whether anyone could help, which wasn't needed, and the checkout was swift with the member of staff being helpful and efficient."
  • "Well run store with friendly helpful staff. I shopped for camping gear and was surprised by the range and reasonable prices."
  • "Nothing was too much trouble!"

Cons:

  • "Like the store and the staff, but having paid for the ten point check I think I should have been told I would be paid to fit the wiper blades?"
  • "The £10 service for putting the bike together was a waste of money and I was offered very poor customer service afterwards."
  • "When I went to the checkout, they quoted me a higher price than the guide indicated."
  • "Spent 58 pounds yesterday and mentioned about 10 pound voucher the man was clueless."
  • "The staff were fine, but £16 plus vat so £20 labour cost to fit 2 headlight bulbs is highway robbery."
  • "Checked the Halfords in-store parts guide for the correct part ... a range of options came up ... I selected a twin pack (bulbs) so I would have a spare. When I went to the checkout, they quoted me a higher price than the guide indicated."
  • "On visiting the Truro branch to collect the gazeebo I found it advertised at £150 reduced to £120."
