Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Halfords to a friend?
No
Why?
I feel like halfords is going in a direction I can't follow. halfords do not care but the customers or their vehicles. its now only profit and margins. health and safety is completely out the window.
halfords only see us as numbers. everything now goes through customer support. I will try to get my qualification then I will be dashing.
