Halfords Mobile Expert Recenzje 

I ordered 4 replacement tyres to be fitted at home. The fitter claimed he had inflated all tyres to 36 PSI. When I went for a drive I checked the pressures. They were actually, 39, 33,35,34. This type of failure could result in the loss of life. Then when I went to equalise the pressures I discovered one of the valves was loose and leaking air rendering the vehicle unusable. Halfords offered to send someone out 5 days later. When I pressed for a more urgent response they assured me the Birmingham Hub Manager would call me back in 30 minutes. After 50 minutes I called back to learn that all the staff at that center had gone home for the day.

Had Owen come to fit new tyres . On time and very polite and efficient. Did an excellent job

Ordered a new 522GW and arranged fitting for today I choose anytime during day as cheapest.
Engineer arrived no phone call to say he was on his way liked it said when booking engineer.
He had a look at my Mercedes sprinter which has been converted with a rear wheelchair ramp etc he said to me his boss had already told him that he won’t be able to install the rear camera or it may incur excessive problems and he won’t be able to install camera.
As vehicle only had one side door I suggested he can get cable along roofline he then said trim had been fitted really well so he couldn’t guarantee the the cable won’t droop down but fitted cable with non showing.
He then connected the power to the 522GW dash cam but plugged it into the sprinter OBM port as kit supplied with camera you can only have either OBM or cig lighter outle no inline fuse wiring which is a better connection option.
Asked the engineer about setting App up on mobile but said I’ve never done it in all my time with Halfords. So if you have no idea how to connect system dash cam to phone you will need help from a member of your family to set up app. I couldn’t understand why the installers have no training on setting up dash cam to phone. My opinion is surely that setting up dash cam is part of the installation process is it not?
When engineer finished he told me the Nextbase Micro Card is faulty and someone will deliver new replacement card either Monday or Tuesday so they don’t even carry any spare micro SD cards. So fingers crossed no body hits my van in the meantime.
Installation seems to be a rush which you cannot blame engineer but Halfords should give engineers full installation training which includes customers App connection and show customer camera and installation is complete. As I paid for full installation but set up not in visit. Myself being a retired engineer installation covers all parts or am I wrong ?. Seems to be a installation rush by the engineer caused by Halfords. Engineer was friendly enough.

Absolutely shocking service – wouldn’t trust them again

Booked in days ago for tyre fitting on our drive, only to receive a phone call on the morning of the appointment saying they “don’t have the correct torque settings for the wheels.” That’s simply not good enough. If that were genuine (which I seriously question), it should have been picked up at the point of booking – not at the last minute when customers have rearranged their entire day around the appointment.

To make matters worse, this is not the first time Halfords have let us down in exactly this way. It feels like a familiar pattern of poor organisation and zero accountability.

Their service is absolutely rubbish. We were left completely stranded with no alternative offered and no urgency whatsoever to resolve the issue they created.

Honestly, if you need tyres fitting, I’d suggest taking the wheels off and getting them done yourself elsewhere. These big companies have become totally unreliable. I certainly won’t be trusting Halfords again.

Booked a mobile battery replacement for my vehicle for Saturday, they gave a timing of 8-8, and at 1900hrs I get a text from a mobile number saying the tech wasn't coming. Phoned up Halfords and they stated there was nothing on the system so they couldn't do anything at that stage, and the next available appointment was on Weds which they can't even book because they can't get hold of the tech. Terrible service when I have work on Monday... I've been completely messed around!

I had a mobile tyre fitting appointment today 29.11.25 and nobody showed up plus on the tracking it shows that my order was complete! I feel literally ripped off and not to mention customer service do not answer or if they do they are full of BS! I need help on how to get my money back!! It feels like a dead end with these creatures !

Battery replacement on driveway booking was easy. Technician arrived in time slot. But amazingly he didn't have a set of jump leads or a charged battery booster. As my car battery is under an electrically powered seat, he couldn't do anything. Nice guy, but ill-equipped. Had to cancel, claim a refund and then call for a recovery vehicle.

Turned up which I now wish they hadn't.

Arrived without the proper tools to do the job. Didn't have a clue what they were doing with my car and just tried to wing it. After the first bit of unnecessary damage I asked them to cancel the job. Avoid and go elsewhere where the staff are trained, care for your property and have more than a few minutes allocated to do a job.

Booked a replacement battery to be fitted at home few days ago, all was fine, had message this morning saying be there at specified time, then store manager called saying van broke down.

Explained I need it fitted as have long term medical condition and need it for work. Store manager couldn't care less, just wanted me to refund, which I refused.
Escalated to head office, they came back with short staffed, can't even get their excuses straight.

I would avoid like the plague, full of promises that fail to materialise, plus appalling customer service

Absolutely useless. We've waited 5 hours for them to come. We want to return home from holiday and are stuck.
My husband has made 7 calls to their help centre which knows nothing. They finally put him through to the hub who have told us they can't come today. Their on line tracking shows nothing. Do not use them they have no idea about customer service

Had an appointment on Friday for a mobile battery fit between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m., had a call at 6:00 saying that I was next on the list and the fitter was on their way to me, then had a call at 7:30 saying that the fitter had "run out of time" and couldn't make it to me, and the next available slot was Tuesday. Left me without a car for four days and having to get taxis to and from work for three days.

Matt turned up 1 hour into the 4 hour booked time slot. He fitted 4 tyres on my drive in under an hour. I’ve just checked wheel nut torque, tyre pressures and road test. All OK. So much more convenient than waiting in the service centre and excellent service.

Do not buy a dash cam from Halfords - excellent fitting for 5 stars.
If it goes wrong - Stick to your guns and DO NOT phone manufacturers helpline as you’re warranty for the first 30 days is with Halfords. They must sort it out !
I’m chuffed with myself as I had to shoot down six employees including the manager and master technician. - I know my rights but they didn’t know theirs lol.
After one hour they all gave up and gave me a replacement.
I may be old but sorting out this bunch of employees with an average age of 20 was eventually very satisfying 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Excellent service. Engineer arrived on time. Very courteous, polite and friendly. Was also very knowledgeable and helpful. Fitted three new tyres to two different cars and was all done in about half an hour. Will definitely use them again.

As a ex halfords mobile fitter seeing all these bad and negative reviews is actually annoying.so with that in mind pls bear in mind tge fitters are all great blokes and ladies who do go out of their way to help and keep timeslots/appointments.the problem here is all halfords over stacking techs with jobs knowing full well they wont all be completed on routes that arr miles apart.most if not all techs work 12 hr shifts dont have lunchbreaks and always have to work overtime just to try to fulfill your jobs for you.so please bear this in mind before going mad and slating them.thanku.

DO NOT USE.
Halfords are absolutely useless. We booked for a home visit for three tyres to be changed with a time slot of four hours ( 8-12 ) They did not show up for the appointment. We were told the engineer was sick. We had to call halfords to Re book for the next day and once again no show. Absolutely zero communication or apology from Halfords,
when you do contact halfords you get put through to a call centre in India. when explaining our situation we were told once again that a different engineer was sick even though earlier we were told the engineer was running late and would be with us soon. This must be their go to lie. They can not help in anyway apart from pass on your complaint, or re book for another time slot. they can not resolve anything. Believe me nobody will get back to you when they promise they will.
Use professionals not these jokers

I used Halfords Mobile Expert to fit a new Yuasa EFB027 battery to my MINI on 17th August 2025.

As an electrician, I could have fitted it myself, but I paid for the fitting service because I understood that new batteries on MINIs need to be registered to the ECU once installed. When I asked the fitter to do this, he told me it wasn’t necessary — which I’ve since confirmed with a MINI dealer is incorrect.

That means the job wasn’t completed properly, and now I have to arrange and pay for another garage to finish what Halfords should have done.

I called customer service today, gave my order number and email, and was told I’d receive a “blank email” to reply to with my complaint. Three hours later, nothing. No email, no case reference, and no progress — just another dead end.

Really disappointing for a company the size of Halfords to make customers jump through hoops for what should be a straightforward fix.
All I want is for the job to be completed properly or refunded — and for someone to actually respond.

Booked a mobile fitting through my leasing company Arval, unfortunately they have started using Arval rather than ATS which were always really reliable.
I got a complete flat tyre on my way to school drop off, my tyre must have deflated when I parked the car and took my son in, because when I returned it was completely flat. I’m 38 weeks pregnant and only had the option of being towed approximately 15 miles away for a change of tyre or have Halfords come out next day.
Booking link said will come out 8:30-13, updated text said 8-12. I had to get my mum who lives 20 miles away to pick us up and take us 40 mins early to school, to be there just in case, as the tracker wouldn’t work and depot want open until 8:30, which makes no sense that the time I was given was from 8am. It got to 11:34 and I get a call from the driver to say he was 2 hours away, and not able to go to my car because of an issue with the machine and they had lots of vans not on the rode. They had lots of notes to say of my medical situation and he patronisingly told me to not stress too much. Complete lack of empathy. Thankfully my leasing company were exceptional and understanding. Do not book with this unreliable company if you have a choice

Mobile mechanic excellent service

Awful service. Just had a tyre replaced at home. Fitter was one hour late even though paid for timeslot. The fitter has then gone and damaged my very expensive 1 year old alloy wheel on my Porsche. Never will i use them again. Wating for a reply from customer services.
