Reviews of Halfords Autocentre Finchley

R. A.

Alf and the team were great. I booked online to replace a tyre, but I mistakenly arrived a day early to my appointment; I was accommodated without any delay and in fact they also balanced the other wheel, which I had not requested. They were very engaging and fun. Overall I was very pleased with the experience.

C. W.

Great experience, first time using them for MOT and service and they were both friendly and professional. Was told the car would be ready for 4pm, got an email and phone call letting me know it was done at 3:30pm, and on pick up noticed they'd fixed the cover on my wing mirror and, I think, changed my car key battery as well free of charge. More than happy with the experience

V. C.

Booked my annual MOT. Excellent service and they send timely reminders. Very polite staff at the branch. Would go there again. Thank you Halfords team at Finchley.

A. L.

MOT and battery replacement in an hour! And they called me to make sure I was ok with the price of the battery replacement shortly after I booked, so super diligent and honest. Well pleased.

J. R.

Joel and Kash went above and beyond to provide me with the best service. I bought a car from a dealer on 13.04.22 and noticed on my way home an intermittent electrical fault. I booked it in to Halfords Autocentre Finchley to have a few checks almost instantly (15.04.22). When I arrived to collect the car Joel and Kash were concerned about the issues in the car and best advised that i return the car. Joel also insisted i be refunded for the checks. Overall very friendly, helpful, honest staff. Will 1000% be taking my next vehicle to them for a look over.

F. K.

I have taken two cars to this centre for MOT. They offer professional service, and respond quickly. The staff are friendly, the only negative thing is they are extremely busy, and the phone calls may not be answered quickly. I definitely recommend the place for MOT.

N. Y.

Did a brake fluid change. Easy booking thru internet. Although the system in the shop showed a different time slot but the friendly staff managed to help and the job done within 2 hours.

M. D.

Unfortunately my booking didn't go through online, so when I dropped my car off, Joel squeezed me in and after the service explained all the technical aspects! Highly recommended!

M. W.

Great customer service, I trusted their advice and was very happy with the work done. I will definitely be using this garage from now on

S. S.

Very good and helpful. They were very quick and kept me informed. They were also friendly. Joel in particular was excellent and I really appreciated his help.

Had no problems with them. Done break check, MOT and break changes within a month. Good quick service, kind at reception and always communicate with you.

C. D.

It WOULD have been 5 stars but they messed up my booking and when I first went in... NOTHING. Went back for the new booking and everything went through fine. 1st time no issues with the car.

T. C.

Joel made sure our Land Rover got the best service and repair. We are super happy with this branch! 🙌🏼

V. S.

Got an MOT done recently and previously a service - impressed with the professionalism, friendliness and communication of everyone I've come across at the garage.

A. H.

Air con diagnostic and top up - simple process - very helpful staff

Y. K.

Very polite staff,I am happy 100% with their service.

S. M.

I discovered this autocentre when my main Fiat dealership closed. I was nervous taking my car to a new centre as I had bad experiences in the past, so I chose Halfords as they had a name I was familiar with. I have used them three times now, once for a big repair job and twice for minor things On all three occasions I received excellent service, very business like but with kindness and caring. I am disabled so my car is my lifeline so I need reliable and affordable support from an autocentre, I found it at Halfords, Finchley Central. Thank you to the Team.

P. L.

Took my car in there for an MOT. They were fairly quick and didn't charge me for fitting a new bulb and topping up my oil. Will definitely use them again.

G. A.

Everything fine. Repairs took some time while awaiting parts, but I was kept informed throughout the process. Dealt with politely.

L. L.

Alf was exceptional and provided excellent customer service and care. Thank you Alf.

W. S.

Great service - the staff member I spoke to was friendly, helpful and patient. I was having my tyre replaced in the morning by the autocentre and stumbled upon a few issues (missing wheel security nut [misplaced by a non-Halfords garage], had to get a new security nut, and an issue with the new tyre) but the Finchley autocentre team were patient, were able to offer solutions immediately and still managed to get my tyre replaced on the same day despite the issues! I highly recommend their services!

R. A.

Excellent service and very prompt. Brought my car for an MoT and the whole experience was seamless and efficient.

To start on a positive - service was very quick, price was very reasonable and Covid rules were adhered to the whole time! But...trying to sometimes reach this centre over the phone is near impossible. Secondly, when I first arrived and the guy on the desk was checking my details with me, he read out the wrong number - someone else’s - this is not very discreet, professional or confidential - staff should be trained to just ask the customer to confirm the last 3 digits! Thirdly, I was specifically told that I would get a call to let me know when my MOT was done, well I ended up having to call them myself because I never got a call or an email to let me know...no communication! Lastly, I was given some paperwork, but only realised once I got home, that the front sheet was for my car, but the back sheet was for someone else’s, so again, not very responsible - where is their attention to detail? Someone out there has all my details and I have theirs...I did later receive the correct / relevant / appropriate invoice and other paperwork via email, but these things should be checked thoroughly first! When I picked up my car, the guy who gave me my paperwork hardly spoke with me - didn’t even tell me that my car had passed or went through any of the specifics with me...not very personal! I feel that some “teething issues” need to be ironed out here...

T. B.

Having not had a car since I've been living in London for 7 years, I wasn't expecting any surprising service from mechanics, but Everyone was nice and friendly and didn't seem to get pushed on any thing I didn't need. Happy with it

P. P.

Great service, booked MOT on line allowing me to choose a date and time that was available. Booked Monday for Friday so no issues there. Arrived 10-15 minutes early but car was taken straight in. It was suggested I went for a coffee and I would receive a call when the car was ready. I returned just after the hour and the car was just about ready. Staff friendly and would be happy to take the car there for the next service.

J. F.

Service was okay but had to go back to the store as stock for light bulbs not kept in garage. Would have required a return trip. Not good value for money.

G. S.

I booked a headlamp alignment online after being advised of that fault on failing my MOT (done elsewhere). I dropped my car off and when I returned they told me the work wasn't needed and suggested the correct fix which I could do myself. They cancelled the booking and told me to call the head office to get a refund. Did that today, and without fuss had that confirmed too. Now I'm not sure how many garages would actually advise their customers that work doesn't need to doing and suggest an alternative! I was really impressed, and appreciated not being charged unnecessarily. The gent who served me was friendly and very helpful. I've given 5 stars even though I can't comment on their work, but for customer service, they're faultless. Will definitely be back!

S. D.

I have been taking my car to this place for an MOT for the past 3 years, but this year I decided the car needed a service as well as the MOT. Staff are helpful, but I think they are a little overpriced and 3.5 hours seemed unusually quick for a service and MOT. Also, on the previous two occasions when I just went for a MOT, nobody called to tell me when my car was ready, so I took a chance and went back after 2 hours. Definitely room for improvement on the customer service side, otherwise fine.

J. m.

Booked and visited for MoT. Quick, welcoming and efficient.

Z. C.

I highly recommend this branch of Halfords. I’ve been going ever since the new manager started because as a woman I tend to get ripped off at garages so it’s rare to come across somewhere I can take my car without having to question what I’m being charged for. They are polite and call me to update me. I wouldn’t go anywhere else now.

J. L.

RANG BEFOREHAND AND ASSURED THEY HAD CORRECT WING MIRROR. AFTER 1 ANDHALF HOUR WAIT, WRONG ONE. STAFF VERY FRIENDLY........

i. m.

Firstly , I was booked in on the wrong date , so had several calls asking why I had not been in. Then asking me what sort of tyres I required after the correct ones had been ordered. Anyway after I arrived on the day I was booked in, the service was great as was the price. Don’t expect your tyres to be in stock and don’t expect while you wait service, besides that I would still use this Autocentre, in the big scheme of things these were not major issues

E. B.

Cannot rate Halfords Finchley highly enough. Super professional and friendly service, no rip-offs, great communication and everything that was being done on my car was explained / shown very clearly. The location is also very handy being close to the tube, which made dropping off and picking up my car a breeze. Will not take my car anywhere else now!

H. D.

Booked online for some new rubber, choosing my day and time slot. It appears this branch doesn’t hold any tyre stock so you need to have booked in advance. Also if you google the exact tyre your after bizarrely it costs less then doing the search on the Halfords website. This saved me £20, winner. Turned up a bit early for my slot, they spotted my car pulling in and had the paperwork all ready for me. About an hour later, all done and I’m on my way. Great service from friendly people at a great price.

g. c.

Really good customer relations. Work was carried out quickly and I did not have to wait around to collect my car. First time I have used Halfords in Finchley to have my service and MOT carried out and I will definitely be coming back next year to do the same!

R. J.

I've been 3 times in the past year for service and other work, and it's been good. Service was booked and paid in advance online, received a call 3 hours after dropping off and thought oh no, here comes the list of extras... but no, they said the car was ready to pick up with no extra charges.

A. K.

I have very used Halfords at 284 Nether Street London N3 , and was very impressed. Very polite and professional. They did all that was asked and more. I had a major service and M O T which was reasonably priced and then then they managed to squeeze in a late request for tracking to be adjusted. Very impressed . Not that cheap. You get what you pay for. Would definitely use again.

S. T.

Alf and James were top class. I had a nightmare with my leasing company arranging incorrect service/MOTs but the lads at Halfords were patient and willing to help me get it sorted. They also let me leave the car there longer than usual to help me out. Cheers lads

A. C.

Although the MOT was done to the expected standard, I found the dropping off and collection of the car very chaotic and haphazard. I was told that I would be called when the MOT was done but never received a call. Instead I returned after an hour and the job had been done for some time. Needs more care and attention to make it easier and convenient for customers. In comparison to other places, this was a bit disorganised.

E. D.

So much improved in the two years since I last swore never to use them again! Due to an oversight on my part, I had no option other than to use them, and it was with some trepidation that I drove on to their forecourt! Already an improvement with marked bays and more logical parking. A friendly cheery greeting was also a very welcome change, and when I go the promised phone call (earlier than I asked for), I was convinced by the new guard! I will be back!!

J. M.

Took car into garage 08.30 And Car was ready by 09.10 Quick service

P. P.

m. s.

MOT. great service , great guys highly recommended

N. K.

First time visiting this Halfords for MOT. Quick, friendly, helpful and professional. Highly recommend.

N. S.

Really quick and good Customer service. Amazing team to do business.. Well Equipped to handle the customers needs.

S. T.

R. A.

Car failed MOT but they were professional, fair and helpful in advise about how to get it fixed

B. C.

MOT performed at low cost and kept to the time suggested

C. H.

Halfords came up shining when I managed to secure an MOT date with them faster than any other provider locally to me. The team were very friendly & welcoming & the MOT only took a couple of hours which I already knew when I booked the appointment.

G. K.

Happy with the tyres, happy with the workmanship, good price. Room for improvement in timing/comms though. I booked a 12:30 fitting of 4 tyres, my wife (+3 yr old daughter) took the car and was told it would be ready between 2 and 3pm (should be a 1 hour job max)! She was told they would call her when it was ready. She didn't receive a call but she went back at 2 anyway and the car was ready. So, room for improved customer service but the results are good.

R. F.

Booked an MOT here and got an appointment within a few days. They were running behind, but my car was ready in about 1.5 hours. Service was ok, and no issues with my car (it is only 3 years old and had just been serviced so wasn't expecting issues)

J. S.

The staff at this garage are fantastic, particularly Brendan. They've done everything they can to help me! Patient and helpful and talked me through the issues, even showed me it all on the car so I can make the best decision. Would highly recommend the garage! Thanks guys.

J. R.

Have used them many times as they are local to me. Reasonable prices for service and MOT. New manager Brendan very helpful in resolving recent issues on my and my wife's cars. Will use again for next service at end of year.

C. E.

I use them mainly for MOT, the prices are fair and the waiting time is always as expected.

y. h. p.

The guys there are good its easy to get to only thing I would say is that if its gets busy parking might be a slight issue

H. R.

Alfie at Halfords Finchley nether street is great! Very professional and friendly

L. M. R.

Great garage and customer service. They helped me to pass the MOT at a very reasonable price despite the car needing some things fixed. Very happy with the service and I will be going back.

O. D.

Took my Chevrolet in for MOT, it failed but staff were very helpful and advised me what I needed to fix. Turned out to be suspension arm bushes which they replaced same day, then re-tested for free. Only quibbles are the high part prices - you may well be able to get cheaper parts at a trustworthy independent garage - and it always seems to take 3 or 4 attempts to call before the phone is answered. Other than that, I would recommend this autocentre.

M. R.

Booked my car in for a major service, was done by the end of the day. Service was professional. Car seems more responsive. Can't comment on long term performance as it was only a week ago.

Excellent value 👍 best price for new tyres and I looked at a lot! Great service, kind helpful staff with wonderful Customer service skills. Job booked online easy and all went to plan. Happy customer 👍😀

R. J.

Simple tyre replacement. I had asked them to check the pressure on all tyres which I was told they always do after any tyre changes anyway. Literally 2 days later, a different tyre showed as low pressure. I then checked all other tyres and 2 others were low too so they had clearly not topped up the pressure as they said they would.

M. R.

After a bad experience last year having had my car serviced at the (main) dealer from which I purchased it and having had my request for an early service and MOT turned down by another main dealer I am very pleased to report that Halfords Autocentre Finchley did a first-rate job both in servicing my vehicle and advising me of any additional requirements. The car runs better than at any time since I bought it and I will have no hesitation in using Halfords for my future servicing requirements.

A. F.

Friendly, professional and reliable service which I have always found to be helpful. The advice given is honest and so far never let me down. I always return to this garage for that reason

G. F.

Customer service was excellent and James was very helpful with product / service information

C. L.

I had an MOT on my car. The staff are always pleasant and helpful. They phoned to say when the car was ready. All good.

H. D.

Booked online for some new rubber, choosing my day and time slot. It appears this branch doesn’t hold any tyre stock so you need to have booked in …

K. P.

Reshod 2012 VW Tiguan with Dunlop Sport Tyres. Very competitively priced. VW main agent unable to price match as previously promised. Staff very polite and courteous which compensated for having to wait two hours for job to be completed. Aircon regassed with minimum hassle. Highly recommended.

Really friendly garage. Had a really nice guy who took me in to show me my exhaust and the problematic area - and very kindly told me it wasn't urgent - which is great to hear financially. Great customer service.

S. S.

A bit of a mix up with the online payment I made. The guys at the centre were good and helpful. Not their fault there's a problem with Halfords website

M. S.

I came a day late, but was attended all the same (had to wait until they had time to do the service, replace the front suspensions and MOT).

B. F.

Excellent service but a little spoiled by Halfords informing me the car would be ready for collection at 5pm. I arrived at 4.50 pm but had to hang around until 5.40pm before my car was ready.

C. D.

Had the MOT retest done today after having a tyre changed. The guys at Halfords Finchley gave me a 10 minutes slot without any unnecessary delays.

J. C.

Changed two tyres - all done on time & seems to be a thorough job. Price of the tyres (Falken Ziex) was the cheapest I could find on t'internet. All good.

S. B.

Customer service need little improvement. Overall good with the work/ timings and quote was given for the work required. Would definitely book them again.

Put my car in for MOT and Major service and The mechanics were very helpful! Will definitely be going back next year for the same service

C. B.

Trustworthy to carry out a MOT. Good staff. Forgot to put antifreeze cap back on tank. Ordered a new one.

E. L.

I have been ask to make a review about the customer service, so , i Think that they have a bit space to make me happy for next time, but i understand that dealing with people is the hardest job on the world. Good job guys

W. S.

Always efficient and friendly. Never had a problem booking on line and jobs done on time. Thanks to all concerned

H. S.

I took my ford focus in for a aircon re gas at 8.30 and at 10.15 Halfords called me to say it was ready.Very efficient service and it works like new.

R. Y.

Exactly what you want. I booked an MOT I was promptly served, as soon as the shop opened, and the MOT was completed on time. Could not ask for anything more.

m. P.

SIMON at Finchely Halford has done a fantastic job aligning my wheels, which was previously been done wrongly at halford's Watford branch. Simon has been exceptionally friendly and professional throughout the process assistanting me from reception to the end . He did tracking himself and did test drive afterwards while I was in car . The dreadful quality of tracking done by Watford branch has been offset by Simon's excellent work . My vehicle is running smoothly and I will use Finchley branch again and good luck to Simon and team . Big YES !!!!!

A. A.

Did service there and everything was as it is suposed to be. I chosed Halfords because they can update online the service history for Mercedes , so it is covered by waranty.

I would prefer to have a 4 hour window or so for MOT and service. An all day appointment is super inconvenient. Staff are good.

A. A.

Had an MOT and service booked in for my old car before selling it. It failed the MOT so the mechanic didn't do the service and didn't charge me for the MOT either, so friendly! Thank you!!!

N. K.
