Customer Service

Pros:

  • "Geoff talked me through everything he was doing to the car when replacing the bulbs and checked wipers to make sure they were OK even though he wasn't asked to."
  • "I wanted to purchase some roof bars for my car and Lindsay assisted me. She was friendly, patient, knowledgeable and help me make an informed decision."
  • "Sue was amazing! Went to the Burton Upon Trent store earlier today. Had an issue with my car battery, she helped me with changing and replacing. Her customer service skills were amazing."
  • "The cycle sales and service team at Halfords Burton are top top people. Friendly, knowledgeable, informative and overdeliver on their promises."
  • "Both Katie and Geoff took away the pain of having to fit a new battery in a tight spot with awkward clips and for a late Sunday afternoon both were remarkably cheerful."
  • "I went to Halfords in Burton this afternoon to get some new wiper blades fitted, the young lady who fitted them for me couldn't have been more helpful and friendly and did the job very efficiently."

Cons:

  • "Staff who was doing it had no clue regarding what they were doing."
  • "100% no satisfaction. The staff doesn't have appetite for work."
  • "NOT very impressed, bought a bike, was told I would have to go back in 1 week to collect... Was in fact ready, but no phone call."
  • "Shocking experience, paid to have a bulb replaced on a caddy van, fitter had no idea, suggested taking the back door off, full refund back, will fit myself, staff need training."
  • "Lady who tried to help us today... Just didn't want to be there and couldn't be less helpful... If I could be bothered I would have complained, but I guess it would go nowhere."
  • "It took 4 different staff members to fit a dipped headlight on my car and were unable to do so."
  • "Staff very unhelpful and are not interested (apart from when it's time to go home!). Loads of staff but none prepared to actually do anything to help as all busy talking to each other. Will not be using this shop again. Avoid if possible."

Product Availability and Stock

  • "Good staff, very good range of items in store but some small items such as car door protectors are not stocked."
  • "Ordered something online and picked it up in under 10 mins. No one in store so no waiting around. Staff member was waiting at till when I arrived so went straight to them to ask about my order."

  • "Went in to purchase a child's bike. Store assistant was extremely helpful."

Cons:

  • "Not specifically aimed at Burton branch but Halfords themselves. Ordered some polish online and was advised my local Burton branch had stock. Had a phone call about 20 mins later saying Burton branch doesn't stock this size of bottle but can get from Swad, Derby or Lichfield."
  • "We showed up on this second occasion to only find we need another part to attach the box, which wasn’t in stock anywhere."
  • "Played £1250 for a bike played £45 extra for a service plan. Just picked it up to be told things like gears making a noise when changing."
  • "Took my new car for dash cam fitting with Matt, at some point in the hour and a half my car was badly damaged, no-one will take responsibility and the claims team have basically called me a liar."
  • "waste of time never answer the phone in store stood waiting to talk to some one for 15 minutes ended up walking out. all the staff are kids that look like they dont want to really be there gone right down hill."
  • "Despite signs on their door and the information on their website and Google all stating they are open until 8pm on weekdays, they were already closed when I arrived at 5.20pm, so could not get any of the things I needed."
  • "Absolutely rubbish shop. Can not service my Halfords brand bike due to lack of technical staff until 14th of July."
