Wrong pressures put in my tyres and the tyre fitter not wearing gloves and driving my car with dirty hands which led me to clean my steering wheel and gear stick

I recently took my car to the Halfords Auto Centre, and I was really impressed with the experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff were professional, welcoming, and efficient. They took the time to explain exactly what work needed to be done without trying to push unnecessary extras, which made me feel I could truly trust their recommendations.
The quality of the work was top-notch, and my car is now running smoother than ever. I also appreciated how they kept me updated throughout the process, ensuring everything was completed on time. It is rare to find a garage that combines technical expertise with such great customer service. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and honest automotive care.-thank you

I had a genuinely awful experience at this garage, and I would strongly advise people to think twice before using their services.
I came in simply to have my car battery replaced. Before any work was done, I was quoted £98 including fitting. I agreed to that price and waited with my wife and young daughter in extremely cold weather while the work was carried out.
When I went to pay, I was suddenly told the total was £162. I questioned the difference and explained that I had only agreed to the battery replacement. I was then presented with additional charges for work I had never requested or agreed to.
As someone who was not confident speaking English at the time, I felt completely taken advantage of. What made the situation even worse was the way I was treated when I explained that I did not have enough money with me and needed to go and get the rest. I was told that my car would not be released until I paid.
I was there with my wife and young daughter, and the attitude of the staff was deeply upsetting. I expected a basic, honest service—not to feel pressured, humiliated, and treated as though my lack of English made me an easy target.
The issue is not simply the extra £64. It is the lack of transparency, the failure to obtain my agreement for additional work, and the way I was spoken to and treated.
I will never return to this garage, and I would not recommend it to anyone who expects fair pricing, clear communication, and basic respect. There are plenty of other places where customers deserve to be treated better.

MOT visit
I recently had my MOT and tyres changed at Halfords Exeter (Alphington Road), and I was thoroughly impressed with the experience. The process was incredibly efficient, and the pricing was very competitive. The team was exceptionally friendly, making me feel welcome throughout my visit.

Great all round experience.
Great Team, great service, great price. Four tyres fitted with great care taken over my alloys. Brake fluid sorted at the same time. The team noticed my coolant was low and topped it up with no extra charge.

I always enjoy taking my car there. I find them to be friendly, honest and reliable. They always keep me informed on the progress, cost and when it's ready to be collected. I was able to phone up on the bank holiday Monday and book it in for the following Saturday. I dealt with Martin who was extremely friendly and helpful, as are all the staff who work there
