For a company that cant fit headlamp bulbs correctly 99% of the time I find this hilarious. After being a mobile mechanic for many years im looking forward to seeing how this pans out because im sure it will bring me hours of joy reading the reviews…………………

[Peter Miles]

After all the adverse publicity they’ve had recently how can they hope to expand the incompetence they offer?

The local Halfords serviced a Peugeot 208 GTI used the wrong oil and paid us £5k for the new cylinder head bring it on,

For a company to fit a incorrect battery in numerous occasions at their branch, what chance would they have in trying to provide such a service on a mobile unit. Do they really want their reputation to falter further?? Please please don’t bother!

[Graham Lange]

As said above, for a company that advertises it can fit bulbs when it simply can’t this is a joke. Halfords really need to concentrate on it’s core business instead of trying to diversify and make idiots of themselves…. Try changing the oil on a modern Volvo without the correct diagnostic equipment??

Incompetence in action is a truly frightening sight. I fail cars regularly on headlight aim guess who fitted the bulb incorrectly ? often with broken clips and a scrap headlight as a result, and a charge for breaking it. Halfords … “Not us sir”,……

This is just another example of taking customers for mugs. Who in their right mind believes that a quality service, with proper checks, can be carried out on a drive way?
The Halfords near us provide me with plenty of work through their c@£k ups, and from work they just can’t do.
I’m all in for anything that makes us look good.

Bravo Halfords more rectification work for us Independants

I got asked to recover an old Astra from a Halfords branch and take it to a local engine replacement centre. It was old, but very low mileage and in good condition. It had been towed into them as a non starter and the Halfords ‘mechanic’ said that he ‘thought’ the cylinder head gasket had gone but admitted that he hadn’t carried out even a compression check. We pushed it out of the garage onto their forecourt. I had a look and found the battery was flat, the engine badly flooded with fuel and the plug leads fitted in the wrong order in the distributor cap. The compressions were all good. Charged battery, fitted a dry set of plugs and corrected the firing order and it burst into life. It ran o/k with no issues up to normal temperature and the cooling fan kicked in and out as it should. If they can’t even deal with something with simple technology, I’m looking forward to seeing the claims when they f*** up a more complex vehicle.
