Review - Car Service and Annual MOT at Halfords

The price was 99£ down from 135
The MOT only was 35£ down from 50+£ (obviously an offer to get you)
The catch was a MOT retest fee - upon a registered FAIL on the MOT tests, the car owner has the following option
  • get a quote for the repairs necessary to pass the MOT from Halfords itself, leave the car with Halfords and pay Halfords the repairs only. No retest fee. Then they repair it and give you a free retest, on the points where you have had a FAIL registered, and issue you with your MOT certificate for the next 12 months. (*catch - see below*)
  • Tell Halfords that you will go to another car garage to get your car serviced, based on the registered MOT FAIL points, go do this within 10 days, come back to Halfords - who are the testing authority who issued the MOT FAIL certificate, pay a re-test fee of half the price of the MOT (this time retest fee is 17.5£ (half of initial 35£)), if they are satisfied with the repairs carried out by others - fine Halfords issue you a MOT certificate for the next 12 months. Cost of MOT 35£ (initial Halfords fee) + 17.5£ (Halfords re-test fee) = 52.5£ (Total)
