Bought dashcam and fitting. Didnt realise until they arrived that they couldn’t fit on electric vehicles. They could have said this before arrival.

Efficient, friendly staff, great service.

Efficient service, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. Needed a new car battery fitting and coding and the whole process from booking to completion was great.

Poor experience instore.

Went into my local Halfords to collect a Click & Collect item. Young staff at the till swearing because they couldn't get something to work properly. When they got my order it was the wrong item that had been picked, so I had to wait while they found the correct item.

Friendly, knowledgable staff

Debbie was really good to me on the till, letting me know how I could save more money on my trip, and Brady gave me friendly, knowledgable assistance when I was picking up some last-minute parts for my brake pad job.

Road Angel Halo Pro 2k Dashcam with fitting

Purchased a Road Angel Halo Pro 2k (award winning!) dashcam and had it fitted.

Reviews of the dashcam were encouraging. Appointment was made for fitting.

On collection (all at appointed time - well done!), I inserted an SD card as instructed but couldn't get connection to the app.

Return visit to the store revealed that rear camera had been installed upside down (i.e. not tested) and connection to the app was established.

However, it doesn't remain connected for more than a couple of minutes. It suggested to me that I give the camera a wobble from time to time to get connection. This can't be right.

Another visit to the store is coming up.

Product Improvement Suggestion

Product Improvement Suggestion: Standardizing Modular Foam Inserts for Halfords Advanced Torque WrenchesProduct Affected: Halfords Advanced Torque Wrench (20-60Nm) / Halfords Advanced Modular Storage EcosystemThe Problem:As a loyal customer investing in the Halfords Advanced modular tool control system, I have noticed a frustrating inconsistency in product presentation and compatibility. While the standard modular trays (such as the plier and screwdriver sets) utilise a high-quality, dense, dark charcoal foam tray that fits perfectly into the case slots, the 20-60Nm torque wrench arrives in a light gray, low-density packing foam.This causes two major issues for the user:Visual Mismatch: The light gray foam disrupts the uniform, professional "shadow-board" aesthetic of the Advanced range when stored alongside other modular trays.Poor Fitment: The torque wrench foam insert is not sized to seamlessly lock into the standardised grid of the modular tool cases, leaving awkward gaps and allowing the tool insert to shift.Proposed Solution:Please update the packaging for the Halfords Advanced Torque Wrench lineup to include a standard-sized, dark charcoal modular foam tray that matches the material, colour, and footprint of the existing screwdriver, socket, and plier modules.Even if the torque wrench is sold as a standalone item, designing its foam base to double as a standard-fit modular insert would drastically improve value for your core demographic of mechanics and serious DIY enthusiasts who take pride in neat tool organisation .

Superfast battery change at Halford's

Checked out the model and price of a new battery for my Ford Fiesta, made an appointment one hour ahead, turned up at their Kirkstall store and was dealt with by a very polite young man and lady who said to come back in 30-45 mins and so I went to do some shopping and when I returned my keys were handed to me and the car, which was in the parking spot that I left it, was ready to drive away. Great service, would highly recommend.

Visited Cribbs Causeway branch today to collect an online order. I was greeted by a young lady who gave me a very genuine warm smile and was super efficient with getting my order for me. I failed catch this ladies name, however, for the management to pass on the fact that she is a credit to Halfords, she had strawberry/red hair and some facial studs. Customer service with a smile-many thanks. Top lass-
