  • Halfords FREE winter car check

    Halfords FREE winter car check*

    Including battery, bulbs & windscreen chip check
    700+ locations

    If you're off on a long car journey – and even if you're not – it could be worth getting your car checked over. Book online at Halfords* to get a free winter car check at most Halfords stores or Autocentres (find your nearest*, excludes locations with parking restrictions).

    This is a year-round freebie, branded winter or summer depending on the time.

    What's covered by the Halfords free car check?

    • Battery health check
    • Headlight and brake light check
    • Wiper blades check 
    • Windscreen chip check
    • MOT due date reminder
       

    Important: Please be aware that the free screen wash top up and oil level check are no longer included in the free winter car check.

    Halfords says it'll take about five minutes. Be warned... it may try to sell to you, but there's no obligation to buy anything or act on any advice you're given. These checks are completely free.

    The majority of the checks are outside of the car or under the bonnet, but for Covid-19 safety, you'll be asked to switch on the lights yourself.

    In the summer months, air conditioning can also be checked but this isn't covered by the winter car check.

  • Free bicycle safety check at Halfords

    Free bicycle safety check at Halfords*

    No need to book, just turn up at a store with your bike
    Ongoing

    Halfords is offering a free bicycle safety check at all of its stores (find your nearest*). There's no need to book - simply pop along with your bike and ask a member of staff for a free bike check, which shouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes and covers all of the following:

    • Handlebars
    • Wheels/tyres
    • Gears/chain
    • Brakes
    • Saddle
       

    Obviously, it's no coincidence Halfords is doing these checks when it also sells bike parts and cycling accessories. Staff might try to upsell you (eg, new tyres, saddle etc), but there's no obligation to act on any advice you're given, or to buy anything.

  • Halfords: MoneySaving tips & tricks

    Halfords: MoneySaving tips & tricks*

    Incl free Click & Collect, haggling & sales discounts
    Ongoing

    There are always ways to save money at Halfords*, so even if there isn't a cracking deal out there that works for you, don't assume you can't cut your costs further. 

    Ways to save include:

    • Free Click & Collect. Standard delivery's free at Halfords, but only when you spend £30 or more. If you're spending less, delivery's £2.99 - but you can avoid paying this by collecting your order from a Halfords store for free (find your nearest*).
       
    • Check for offers. See the Halfords offers page* to find seasonal offers and sales throughout the year. Of course, we'll feature the broader discounts, but you may find a slightly more niche offer on the Halfords page that works for what you're buying.
       
    • Try haggling. We polled 1,400 MoneySavers to find out in which shops hagglers have most success. Lots of high street retailers are known to give discounts to customers who ask, so it's always worth a punt. For more haggling tips, see our Haggle on the High Street guide.
       
    • Check similar retailers. If you're not committed to buying from Halfords, check for deals from other stores such as Argos, Tesco Direct or Millets, where you may find there's a better deal.
       
    • Want more? Find out more shopping tricks in our Shopping Secrets guide.
       
    • Had a problem with Halfords? There's a free online tool you can use to draft, manage and if necessary escalate a complaint. It's called Resolver, and we like it so much we work with it to help people get complaints justice - you can use it to complain to Halfords*.

  • Halfords up to 40% off selected items

    Halfords up to 40% off selected items

    Incl 20% off certain kids' bikes and scooters

    Until Mon 30 Nov (Cyber Monday), you can get up to 44% off selected items at Halfords* as part of its Black Friday promotion which began on Thu 12 Nov. There were 137 items included when we checked online on Fri 20 Nov.

    Selected kids' bikes and scooters are 20% off, and Halfords' own range of tool kits – not available elsewhere – are up to 40% off.

    Delivery's free on most items, but there's a £25 delivery fee for built (as opposed to boxed, unbuilt) adult bikes and £15 for built kids' bikes. Bulky items and online exclusives will also incur a delivery fee.

    Here are some strong examples we found at 10am on Fri 20 Nov, excluding delivery:

    Don't assume Halfords will always be cheapest. Make sure to check prices against competitors such as Evans Cycles, eBay and Amazon.

    Important: Don’t allow yourself to be taken in by the hype around Black Friday and be sucked into buying something you don’t need or can’t afford. Always do your own price comparisons to ensure you are getting the best deal possible – don’t just take a retailer’s word for it.

    • More info

      The Black Friday deals are available online and in all Halfords stores, but you may want to shop online to avoid an unnecessary outing, depending on the lockdown rules in your part of the country. See our Life-in-lockdown guide for more information.

Martin's Money Mantras

Before spending

If you answer 'NO' to any of the following questions, don't buy.

Skint? Ask:

  • Do I need it?
  • Can I afford it?

Not skint? Ask:

  • Will I use it?
  • Is it worth it?

Free protection for all shopping!


There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.

And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.

What the * means above

If a link has an * by it, that means it is an affiliated link and therefore it helps MoneySavingExpert stay free to use, as it is tracked to us. If you go through it, it can sometimes result in a payment or benefit to the site. It's worth noting this means the third party used may be named on any credit agreements.

You shouldn’t notice any difference and the link will never negatively impact the product. Plus the editorial line (the things we write) is NEVER impacted by these links. We aim to look at all available products. If it isn't possible to get an affiliate link for the top deal, it is still included in exactly the same way, just with a non-paying link.
