Easy service, just dropped the car off and got a call a couple of hours later to pick up. I got a full service and MOT at this garage. They gave me a report on the vehicle health at the end and an invoice on work they recommend having done. Only criticism is that the pricing for the work to be done was quite costly in comparison to other garages but the mechanic was very helpful and knowledgable :)

C. R.

Quick turnaround and work was explained well.

P. G.

All the staff were very polite and completed the work in a reasonable time frame (service, MOT and replaced front two tires). They communicated clearly (they had some equipment issues and so we had delay the service/MOT a week), which was good. No complaints. Seems like a reasonable garage.

Great customer service and would definitely recommend this place.

P. D.

Visited for an MOT and interim service. Failed MOT due to one faulty wiper and light alignment, They offered a new wiper £30.00 ( a joke I bought a set of two for £12.00 and fitted myself in less than 5 mins)they also wanted to charge £30.00 for light alignment, I asked why so expensive and told the car had to go back on to the ramp ( despite it having already been on ramps both for MOT and service, a real rip off. Anyway booked my car in at another garage for MOT who say they won’t charge for light alignment as only takes minutes to put right. They also suggested I need replacement coolant £39.99 couldn’t believe it. 1 have only done 11000 miles, coolant replace at 60000. 2. Cost is a joke, can buy coolant by the bucket full for less than £10.00 Clearly Halfords looking for extra sales which I understand but I think when visiting then it’s “ buyer beware”

V. L.

Last minute panic of MOT and Tony at the front desk was so helpful and friendly and made me feel at ease of nearly missing my MOT for road tax renewal. Top job by mechanics and very honest with work to be carried out and at a very good price too

C. F.

Only used for MOT and the car sailed through, no made up issues! Peter on reception was friendly and courteous, and anticipated what I was there from based on car reg. friendly phone call when it was ready, and he was there again to HSBC’s the keys back. Altogether a fast, efficient and great value for money experience.

J. H.

My car battery died today, these guys sorted me out, very professional, reasonably priced, all sorted within 45 minutes. Would certainly recommend.

J. D. C.

Great garage! All the staff are friendly and welcoming

E. S.

Very professional and very friendly team. They knew what they were doing, fixed my car and whilst the news wasn't what I wanted to hear, they told me in a human manner, not just saying "This needs doing". My car went in for it's MOT but needed a new seat belt so whilst it cost more, they got me booked in the next day and fixed it straight away. Extremely efficient and friendly staff, would recommend definitely.

D. T.

The guys at the garage were very helpful and supportive at helping me out with the car. They conducted a service, winter prep and brake fluid change. The car is running smoothly and have cleared up the issues. Thanks lads for doing it over this busy Christmas period and you have a five star rating. Would recommend this place to others.

S. G.

As a young woman, I often feel vulnerable to being persuaded into repairs or products I don’t really need. However I 100% trust that this Halfords was completely honest with me and that they tried to help me understand everything throughout my MOT. The staff were extremely competent and friendly (especially assistant manager Andy). I would definitely recommend them. They have made a repeat customer in me with their fantastic customer service.

B. F. M.

Booked same day MOT. Car failed on wiper blades so the mechanic ordered some in within an hour so we could retest without having to come another day. Great service and friendly staff. Definitely recommend.

M. A.

Needed a lot of work done to my car and they fixed within time given. Customer service was excellent as the went above and beyond and was very reassuring. It was easy to arrange a payment plan that suited me. Will definitely recommend service to anyone.

M. C.

Managed to get an appointment for an MOT and new tyres to be installed on the same day I called up. Staff were great and the service was fast. The price was also very reasonable, would definitely recommend!

C. B.

The staff have me total confidence in their abilities and attitude towards customer care. I was tickled pink with the result. I wish all services were as good as that provided at my local Newcastle Halfords branch.

R. E.

Had appointments for MOT at short notice, staff very friendly. Very happy with the service provided, would use again.

S. L.

I made my second trip to Halfords on scotswood rd on Friday 22nd Jan 2021 and again absolutely delighted with the customer service. I am sometimes intimidated by men being a young girl not knowing anything about cars but they treat you with respect and make you feel reassured and thats one of the reasons that made me go back to use their service. They are always so friendly and make you feel at ease. 10/10 from me

S. H.

Had four new tyres fitted. Booking on line was faultless. On the day of fitting, despite being short staffed after some one rang in sick, the job was carried out in a timely and professional manner. I would not hesitate to recommend this garage to others

C. S.

Just needed small job doing. Rang in morning advised best call in around 3pm. Car sorted as soon as arrived. Great staff, friendly service. Lots of free advice too. Will definitely recommend to friends and family

K. F.

First time customer, my branch is George Street Newcastle and must say I've found someone (Andy) who is more of a perfectionist than I am. He diagnosed a fault on our car that I knew immediately what had caused it, the work he did on our car was spot on and it is driving better now than it has for years! There was no need for him to be concerned about the issue re the steering wheel alignment as it's perfect. We will be return customers

J. F.

Excellent customer service would definitely use again,booked my mot online without any hassle. When i arrived Sean and kev on the front desk were very friendly and welcoming and my car passed with only advisories, considering i used a free mot voucher I couldn't be happier, top job by top people.

A. W.

All mechanics were really helpful. Tony explained the service thoroughly and advised on what was needed next. Peter who carried out the service done a great job! Would definitely recommend.

G. B.

Arrived at the Halfords auto centre a hour early having gave myself plenty of time due to adverse weather conditions. On arrival I went to reception and handed in my keys. The gentleman in reception promised, despite a staff shortage because of the snow and ice, that my car tyre would be replaced at the allotted time. Isn’t in a coffee shop across the road and watched my car being driven out onto the auto centre forecourt an hour before I was expecting to pick it up. I went back reception and was told that my car was ready. Excellent service on a day when the weather was very bad. Well done Halfords auto centre Newcastle!

A. B.

Took my car in for the first ever MOT after seeing such good reviews. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Very happy with the service! Definitely recommend

J. M.

Booked in for a free 15 point safety check. Friendly reception and minor issues resolved on the day (oil and headlight) Needed a new Tyre which I was a bit surprised when they said they don't stock them. Nothing else to be faulted.

T. T. (. T.

Took honda jazz down for MOT this morning passed no problem. Staff were very helpful. I would recommended to anyone. 👍👍 …

S. L.

Cheaper for servicing than a main dealer, though check out a local garage to see if they can give you a better price. Was recently told that a headlight which had cracked at the rear due to the bulb fitting being inserted incorrectly would cost £160 to fix, and that the front wing would need to be removed in the process. As it turned out, not only was this incorrect but a receipt later came to light showing that Halfords had replaced the headlight themselves only 18 months previously.

S. R.

Halfords on Scotswoofs road are lovely! I went in by myself anxious about my car failing it’s MOT. I was seen very quickly and the staff were very kind in explaining what needed doing, they were not pushy in anyway and were accommodating to me (who knows nothing about cars).

M. B.

Took my car down for an MOT, the guys were really friendly and I was called when the MOT was done. Passed with flying colours, no "your car needs this doing" extras like you might find at some branded garages

k. w.

I have had excellent service at this garage with friendly, well informed and organised staff who have kept my ancient little car in full working order well after it’s expected life span without costing the earth and who have always gone out of their way to help me when I was stuck. It is always a pleasure dealing with them.

o. u.

Free vehicle check and MOT. Quick appointment, prompt service, car was ready earlier this than expected. Overall recommended.

E. C.

Booked my service in to Halfords Gateshead - extremely efficient, friendly service. Most pain free experience. Staff were lovely & helpful. Definitely would use again

A. S.

Quick and friendly service. Booked in my MOT and interim service the night before and the work plus all additional repairs were carried out the following day.

j. s.

The misfiring engine in my wife's Corsa was quickly sorted by Andy and Peter. Within an hour it was back on the road down to Brighton. So, a big thank-you to the staff for a quick and efficient diagnosis & treatment.

D. D.

I took my car in for an mot to which I was sure would pass with advisories, was I wrong, from the moment I stepped in the reception the guys were lovely, my autistic son needed the toilet and the gentleman kindly let him use the staff toilet, we left the car was told to come back in an hr so we went for lunch, my phone rang and to my dismay the car failed big time upon being told the bill amount I couldn’t believe it as a single parent with two special needs kids I needed my car but wasn’t in a position to pay the amount in full, with the gentleman knowing this the first thing he done was offer a payment plan which more suited my financial status, we went back to the mot centre, he ordered the parts and said the work will be done by 5 today I was shocked and relieved as we depend on the car a lot, my experience wasn’t the best in regards to my bank balance ha ha but the staff were great and I now have a safe car for my kids to drive in. Thanks

C. M.

Absolutely great service and lovely friendly staff. Car passed its MOT no problem. I would highly recommend.

P. W.

Excellent service and put my mind at rest as to the cost of repairs beforehand, whereas other auto electric services refused to discuss costs. I would certainly recommend Halfords autocentres for all aspects of work, honest and open company all round

J. M.

Fixed puncture in tire on same day with no fuss. Great service, quick turn around and reasonably priced.

J. W.

The staff were really helpful & flexible about me picking my car up later on in the day afte my morning appointment. I'll definitely be going back 😊 …

B. A.

Unlike others they dont go looking for faults to make up their money. 4 tyres, major service and MOT. Thoroughly professional, the car feels and drives like new.

A. D.

Friendly and efficient at both drop off and pick up for MOT, and good COVID precautions in the reception area. Many thanks!

MOT carried out quickly, no problems. It's a bonus to have the Discovery Museum close by to keep me occupied whilst it is done.

Rang your Elswick branch on Saturday to arrange a MOT. The worker I spoke to on the phone and the worker I spoke to upon collection (Wednesday around 4pm) was extremely well mannered and polite. I had rang a number of garages on Saturday and felt your staff were the most professional and helpful and as a young woman who doesn’t know much about cars, your staff members assisted me greatly. The car needed quite abit of work and I was further pleased to hear that a payment plan could be arranged and to be honest, I thought it was going to to cost a lot more.
