We are unable to fit any vehicle-related products that haven’t been bought at Halfords because of potential problems with warranty concerns. This includes stereos, speakers, subwoofers, amplifiers, dash cams, sat navs, DAB add-ons, parking cameras, number plates, light bulbs, wiper blades, oils & amp additives, roof boxes and cycle carriers.

If you're lucky to look young enough, we'll need to take a look at your driving licence or passport to ensure you're old enough.

Halfords takes it’s responsibility as a retailer of age restricted products seriously. We recognise that some products we sell, such as knives/blades, spray paints and solvent based products can be harmful if misused or have a damaging influence in the community.

These restrictions are required by law and Halfords does not currently permit online sales of age restricted products direct to a customers home, place of work or other address.

It is still possible to order and then collect age restricted products from any Halfords store. This allows age verification to be made in the store and is in keeping with the Halfords Challenge 25 policy.

Certain products have legal age restrictions limits on them. It's against the law to sell items which are age restricted to those who are under that age limit. To help us protect our customers, we operate a Think 25 policy - if our colleagues believe you look underage, you will be asked to provide ID.

Certain products are covered by ADR regulations. These may be explosive, corrosive or hazardous to the environment . ADR regulations govern what substances can be carried by road and what materials are used to store those items. They're split into two main categories - Dangerous by Quantity and ADR Restricted. Delivery drivers carrying these items must be ADR certified to transport them and therefore some items may not be eligible for delivery.

Unfortunately, we do not offer a hire service for any of our products. If you are interested in hiring because you’re not sure which products you need, head over to our help & advice hub, which is full of helpful buyer’s guides and other advice pieces.

Most Halfords Superstores are able to offer a windscreen repair service should you require it. A repair is defined as filling in a chip no greater than 10mm in diameter within MOT Zone A, which is the area covered by the window wipers, or a chip no greater than 40mm in diameter within Zone B, the area outside the wiper blade coverage. We conduct a full inspection to confirm that we’re able to make the repairs to our satisfaction. If we find additional chips in close proximity that indicate damage occurred at the same time, we’ll make the repairs as part of the flat fee. If we find chips in other areas of the windscreen likely to have occurred at other times, these will be charged as additional repairs. The chip repair we carry out is covered by a non-transferable warranty for as long as you own the vehicle.

The Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) form is a document which shows the specifications and measurements we've built your bike to. It’s a formal declaration that the bike has been assembled in accordance with the instructions and our assessor's satisfaction. And, it’s your guarantee that you're taking away a well-built and safe bike.

No, unfortunately we're unable to arrange third party transfers between stores.

Unfortunately, we're unable to deliver items outside mainland UK and Northern Ireland. This is because Halfords no longer participates in the Retail Export Scheme which would allow us to receive the VAT refund on good exported out of the country. Warranties are only valid in the UK for Halfords products. Non-Halfords products can be supported by local dealers and we can assist you in finding a local stockist.

We use recyclable and recycled plastics wherever possible and are committed to continually improving how we manage our environmental impact. We consult with Greenpeace and RECOUP to support our strategy for the future which includes everything from transportation, packaging and how we can reduce our single use plastic consumption.

Are Our Water Bottles BPA Free?

Yes, all the water bottles sold by Halfords are BPA-free.

So what is BPA?

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical used in the manufacture of polycarbonate plastic. It’s strong and clear properties make it good for use in drinks bottles and sports equipment. Epoxy resins containing BPA can be used in the lining of water pipes, coatings and on ready made food containers, hot drink cups and thermal paper such as those found in shop tills.

Why is it being avoided?

BPA has qualities which mimic oestrogen and can affect people's hormones if consumed in a significantly large quantity. BPA has a very low absorption in water and other liquids, and its short half-life absorption rate in the body means it has been declared as safe by EFSA, US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the UK Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Andrew Wadge, chief scientist of the Food Standards Agency commented on a 2011 US Study on dietary exposure of adult humans to BPA, saying that it corroborates other independent studies and adds to the evidence that BPA is rapidly absorbed, detoxified and eliminated from humans therefore is not a health concern.
