I took my car in for a ‘summer ready air con bundle’ as the air con was not working at all, my regular garage was fully booked for weeks ahead and I was leaving for a trip to Europe in a few days. The check included air con diagnostic and 5 point car health check (including: health of battery, checking headlights and brake lights, condition of wiper blades and condition of windscreen). After the check I was advised that the air con system was leaking and I needed a new condenser costing £501.77. I contacted a mobile car air con company the next day and they came out and they fixed the air con by topping up the refrigerant for £70!! After my Halfords check, I checked the tyre pressures again myself and they were all too low. I also noticed one of my wiper blades was damaged which Halfords hadn’t mentioned and then when I was driving down to Italy a couple of days later I realised one of my headlights wasn’t working, which Halfords hadn’t picked up!! Not sure what they actually checked at all apart from trying to sell me a new air con condenser I didn’t need!!
