“I called into Halfords in Cromer Norfolk on Friday to collect a bike. The lady working on the till was grumpy,a smile would of been good.She called to her work colleague who was some distance from her.He didn't hear,so she shouted again across the store. He collected the bike which was bought with a cycle helmet.There was no coversation with me or with the two store assiistants. As you have to walk down a flight of steps to get to the car park,it wouldn't of been nice for the lad to offer to carry it to the car for me! Come on Cromer where is the Christmas cheer and customer service? Won't be in a hurry to shop there again.”

“We purchased a roof box from Halfords just over 12 months ago. A weekend in Devon away a few weeks ago and the locking mechanism broke and we were unable to close the box. Not wanting to travel back up to Yorkshire with it being broken, we went to Halfords in Exmouth. They tried to fix the lock, without any joy so exchanged the complete box for us. Great customer service.”

“When I was a child Halfords was a name you could trust and it stood for quality. It was slightly moor expensive but the products lasted. This sadly is no longer the case wether it be a over priced headlight bulb, box of latex gloves or even a child seat they are barely fit for purpose. I feel totally let down by Halfords. It's a bit like a drunken wife beater, who the morning after promises it will never happen again and yet it does. Halfords I have given you the benefit of the doubt for the last time you have lost me. The quality of the majority of items is better in pound land. Accountants you are ruining a once great business and name. We all know what happened to woolworths I can see Halfords going the same way ......”

“I purchased a set of wheel trims from your store at Cortonwood, Barnsley store on Tuesday 10th November. The goods were real value for money. However, the service was EXCELLENT!! We were dealt with by a member of staff called Sophie. As a 71 year old I needed help. She not only told me the size I needed, offered to have them fitted for a small charge, and also disposed of the old ones for me. All this in a respectful and polite manner. Yes, I will use this store again!”

“My car recently passed the MOT test but Halfords warned, via an "advisory", that 2 tyres should be replaced because they were cracked. I was quoted approximately £260 for 2 tyres. A subsequent visit to the main dealer confirmed that the tyres did not need replacing and were good for another 5000 miles.”

“I visited The Wellingborough store today to see if I could have some inner tubes fitted on to two bikes. Jut, the fitter, was excellent and did the job straight away. He got the bikes out of the car and into the store. He then asked another colleague to help me get one bike up the stairs while he took the other. This colleague (a lady) was very obliging and cheerful. Jut fixed the bikes quickly and efficiently, whilst taking care to make sure they were safe, also putting a chain back on where it had come loose during the car journey. He put the bikes back in the car very carefully. He was pleasant and helpful throughout and I can't recommend him highly enough. The only part of the experience that I found a little bizarre was having the bike repair section on the first floor, although I understand there is a lift available. An excellent customer service experience.”

“Very bad experience with this company, don't buy online from them and if you do prepare to contact them yourself to follow up your stuff or they will just waste your time. I ordered 3 items online on the 11th of October 2015, didn't received my items for more than a week and was suppose to arrive latest on the 16th of October 2015, took my money, I emailed customer service about the issue they told me that my order wasn't even processed so I was waiting for nothing, they didn't even informed me and I was the one to contact them. No consolidation whatsoever just offered me the choice for a refund or for them to process the order again - cost me a lot of my time and money.”

“Went to Halfords Tiverton and was served by the Duty Manager. Complete idiot tried to fit a bulb into my Volvo, broke the connector and said it was already like it, couldn't put the headlight bulb in because he removed the headlight clip and blamed it on me and then couldn't even fit the rubber gromit back on the headlight. Sent me to ANY garage you like to have headlight removed via removal of front bumper and Halfords will pay??? And this guy is a Manager? Really! Luckily Im actually a decent guy, a friend of mine fitted the bulb and clip and gromit back in five minutes for free so saved Halfords £180 Volvo's quoted price.”

Just a typical British company ripping off British people. Enough of being raped by these criminals if it's not kwik fit it's Halfords it never ends”

“I had reason to have the battery or starter motor checked for a fault at Portsmouth Halfords store number 0852 and found the whole staff very obliging I had the manager Simon serve me who checked the battery circuit thoroughly nothing was left to chance, I have total admiration for his expertise the way he went through the whole circuit until the problem was found was first class I would not hesitate to return to Halfords again especially the Portsmouth store. Thank you once again. Simon”

“Just been trying to buy a mountain bike for my son. The website is a joke and constantly puts you back at the sales page. Cant read reviews or look at bike spec. I suggest using UK Cycles or Evans as this is an absolute joke.”

“Dear Sir/Madam, 3 years ago from your Putney /London branch I purchased a CBoardman MX race bike with 3 year care plan. Last year I left it in the shop for annual check up. they forgot to check the brakes issue I raised, finally when the breaks totally jammed after sometime I took it back to the shop for fixing during which they lost the front wheel valve cap. This year on the 16th September/LAST WEEK I took back to again to same Putney branch for annual check up, they identified that only the chain to be replaced c£24 and estimated collection date is 17th September. One week passed and I called them up today no one picked up the phone and my bike is still in the shop. Could you explain what is happening ? I believe late service is bad service. I need my bike ...Thanks for your help in advance. Ercin AKTANER”

“Visited Chester greyhound park store wanting to buy a bike for my daughter and partner. Lads on the counter couldn't care less about customer service and were just rude. They then told me the bike I wanted wasn't in stock and sent me to Ellesmere Port store where it was available. Surprise suprise on arrival I was told it wasn't in stock and was discontinued. Thankfully Chris at the store was more than helpful and found me another suitable bike and I bought two from him, iv since visited the other Chester store and Sam on the bike counter was also extremely helpful and knowledgable about the bikes in stock and I purchased another bike for myself. Clear lack of knowledge and training at the greyhound park store, really lets the company down and il never buy from that store again. Wasted a lot of my time.”
