“Excellent service, needed 2 new batteries for my Landcruiser, ordered online yesterday for home fitting service that was carried out today by friendly and efficient staff. Have now ordered 2 tyres for home fitting. Very easy and hassle free”

“Avoid Avoid Avoid Avoid Avoid Avoid. Under no circumstances buy car secuity equipment from these people. Purchased a security system for my BMW and not only did it not function properly, but it interferred with the electrical systems. After a long battle they finally agreed to take the equipment back after refusing to remove it due to not having either fitters or the experience to remove it. They then offerend me compensation which they later retracted owing to not fitting/removing the device, even though they have no fitters and they one store that did was not capable of removing it after telling me they could and me booking a day off work. All this aside trying to get through to customer services is almost impossible and you will be met with a whole new level of incompetance. Then should you be lucky enough (for want of a better word) to get a claim handler they will ignore you, lie to you and then reject anything they offer you. I would have given 0 Stars were it an option. I advise you check Social Media, TikTok and Google to see a corollary of these type of complaints. It is no wonder the store is going under.

“DO NOT ORDER ONLINE! They have a faulty system that will take your money without processing the order on their side even though you get a rererence number and email, then if you ask they do not refund you and even looking up online it says it can take up to 30 days to process a refund (when they actually decide to do it) and 3-5 working days after that to receive it in your bank! Customer service does not assist whatsoever and even managers do not care and do not call back after promising so. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!”

“Waited at home for a battery fitting for 10 hours. No show. What a joke. If they come tomorrow, I’ll upgrade this rating. If not, I’ll be letting you know…”

“Thanks to Halfords I no longer have a complete service record as even though the garages tell you your online service records would be completed Halfords have seemingly decided they are having a break from it . NEVER AGAIN”

“Halfords are hands down THE worst retailer I’ve ever dealt with. Can’t be bothered to waste time / effort on a lengthy review. But, my advice would be to avoid at all costs. I will be a lifetime advocate for never, ever using Halfords!”

“If there's a half star, I would click on that It's been a whole year that I hold my words not to complain by writing, unfortunately, the recent cases really need to be reflected/to let someone concern and never go for it 1/. Scam : First try to join the membership last March, cos there's nearby Halford for my MOT, after checking they called me saying front screen wipes needed to be changed, I pay extra to change, the point is that wipes' quality is awful and much worser than my old pairs, my husband back from the trip mentioned in fact he just changed a pair of expensive one just a month before my MOT check 2/. Poor Service : When I picked my car, the staff said everything was alright, but the "Service" light is on, I asked why is that, he simply replied " well we can't fix it, maybe you need to go back to Peoguet for fixing it, may I ask why I need to came here then? 3/. Cancellation of membership : It's been paying by autopay on my credit card, right after the 1st payment in March last year, I already requested for cancellation because of the above services, they said you CANNOT cancel it until 12mth later in April 2024, but then, right after the payment of this year, I called and tried live chat few times for requesting a cancellation also to make sure NO "auto renew"/"auto payment" , it's always coming back with the same sentence " our dedicated team would contact by email or call within 24-72hours" , NEVER ! Not even once after my 4th trying to cancel the membership, such time wasting and scam, cos if I cannot cancel it, that would definitely auto renew in 18th April by the reply " I would like to inform you that if a premium membership renews then it will be charged from the card which has been ended during the signing-up".... There's no direct phone or email or online unsubscribe for cancellation ? Am awaiting another round of the so called dedicated team now, cross finger”

“Firstly, the website for booking online is shockingly bad, I made two attempts to book a service using their Payment Assist scheme - the first timed out, the second seemed to go through but I didn't receive an email confirmation and nothing showed up on my account. Halfords online chat had no record of the booking, so I called Payment Assist and they had my payment details and said I needed to contact Halfords again and ask them to connect the order with the payment. Halfords, now on the phone, had no record of the order either, even though my payment details and finance plan had gone through. At one point I was put through to the actual garage who said the day I wanted was fully booked - and yet, if you went on to the website it still allowed you to book that day! There was no real connectivity between Halfords, the finance plan company and the garages. Oh and when I first booked I was quoted £137 but when I checked again after speaking to customer service it was now £165. Never again am I going through all that hassle.”

“Paid for number plates to be supplied and fitted at their edge lane store in Liverpool They put them on with double sided sticky tape. They have fallen off. In my view their fitting service is not fit for purpose I've complained to resolutionexpert at halfords dot co dot uk. For clarity I don't have an issue with the engineer that stuck them on he was just doing his best, he told me it was the best that he could do. It is unacceptable to advertise a fitting service that replies on double sided sticky tape. The printing of the plates is pretty slick, its just a shame their staff are not trained to fit plates properly.”

“Booked a MOT and full service for my car. Took it in but only the MOT guy turned up so had to re-book service for the following week. Within 1 mile of leaving the garage engine light came on and stayed on. Booked it in again for a diagnostic and they said they had fixed it. I also asked for the rear brake pad warning light to be dealt with - it wasn't. Now engine light came on again within 3 miles. Took car to a PROPER garage and they found: Engine light was due to a hose not connected to the air system, brake sensor needed changing, sump plug washer not installed so oil leak and the cover covering the sump plug had gone.”

“Halfords replaced 4no. Pirelli tyres on my Q5, with their mobile (driveway) service in Jan 2024. They took the wheel locking nut and jack without telling me. No communication and shocking customer service”

“My Halfords E-Bike displayed "error 500" I took it into Halfords Burnley 12 weeks ago - still haven't got it back. And there has been a pathetic ongoing litany of wrong diagnosis, mis-communications, errors, lame excuses, and parts "lost in transit" Honestly, I think that the people in the store doing the repairs do their best but they are obviously working in a neglected and under-funded part of the Halfords business. Halfords put a lot of investment into sales and marketing , but seem to put no resource at all into bike service and repairs. i won't be buying another bike from them.”

“I had a bad experience this morning when I came to check my car head light. I went garage reception . They asked me to go to main reception. I informed the issue. One of the staff came but he didn’t check the car instead replaced the bulb which was good. but he couldn’t find out what was the issue. So I had to pay 22 pounds good for nothing for 2 minutes work.and back in the garage reception no appointment for next 3 days… my money I wasted without any benefits.”
