Excellent communications, great service. Does exactly what it says on the tin!! Thank you very much
Absolutely useless! You ask for information and he's unable to answer as "he's not sure about this vehicle".

Halfords

A well priced car, bike and motor store. Good for car parts such as bulbs, wipers and batteries…read more Also good for bikes themselves, and just about everyhting else you need to go with them! Helmets, chains/locks, water bottles I always go there for my bike bits. not too badly priced, though i think this is because they are a major chain. Staff helful, and if you go along to buy stuff such a a car seat/stereo bits, they'll help you fit them too.

Booked and MOT plus mini valet through Groupon. Should've known you get what you pay for, the car…read morewent in to the MOT fine, and came out more broken than it was before! Somehow, a car that's never failed it's MOT in 13 years, and have shown no signs of problems in the last 8 months I have had it, miraculously develops a problem at the MOT. Coincidence? Maybe but either way, I'm not about to go back there to try again. Disappointing to say the least. But then to have to have a heated discussion with the receptionist with her loudly and overtly proclaiming "There is no foul play!" Just seems to me like they're trying too hard... Needless to say, won't be going back any time soon.
I recently part exchanged my vehicle for one from waterfront cars. There was 2 months outstanding…read morefinance on my vehicle, so in the agreement that 2 months was added to the price of the car I part exchanged. The salesman phoned the finance company and they ( the finance company )agreed with this, so I actually paid off the finance company with the price added on to the new car and the showroom pays the finance company. All very straightforward, to keep the car from being sold we paid £100 while everything was being sorted out. After a weeks delay my car was delivered, everything was signed but the dealer forgot to bring the £100 with him and promised to put a cheque in the post. Just over a week later I received a phone call from the previous finance company, telling me I was behind with my payments, I of course explained that I no longer had the car and that the outstanding amount had been paid to waterfront cars and for them to pay the finance company. This was going to be looked into by the finance company, so I obviously got in touch with waterfront cars to find out what was happening. I was told not to worry everything is in hand and the outstanding payment would be forewarded. In the week that followed I received another phone call from the finance company telling me that as my name is still with the finance company I am still liable for the outstanding amount and if I don't pay I would receive a default notice. I once again got in touch with waterfront cars and the reply was " well I don't know what's gone wrong, but don't worry we will sort it " a week later and they still had not paid the finance company. I of course received a default letter, telling me that if I don't pay the outstanding amount by a certain date, action will be taken against me. I phoned the finance company today only to be told that one of their finance agents had to go to waterfront cars to get the payment they were owed and they only got this after an argument. It seems waterfront did not want to release the money. To cap it all, they have been advertising my car on their website as HPI clear when in actual fact it wasn't. And we still have not got our £100 back as yet. Think twice before dealing with this car sales.

This shop is the closest Halfords to where I live and therefore it's the main one I use. I'm sure…read morethere are places I could go to get things cheaper but it's a big name that I trust and I wouldn't have a clue where else to look for much of what they sell. This particular shop has free parking outside. The staff are always helpful and if the person you speak to can't help they usually point you in the direction of someone that can. The main problem with this particular shop is the fact that it's terribly under-staffed. I went in a few weeks ago on a Sunday and there were only two members of staff in there! Apart from being under-staffed, this is a really good shop that sells all the basic things you need to keep your car going!

"Take the best that exists and make it better. When it does not exist, design it."…read more ~Sir Henry Royce As a novice car aficionado, there have been many choices on my bucket list. However, when it came to my first new Rolls Royce Corniche, I felt giddy and had butterflies in my tummy (really large butterflies considering my tummy's size). Unable to sleep several days awaiting delivery was nerve wrecking. Was the color, wood choice, interior hue, going to be ok? It better be cause ready or not, it was on its way! On arrival day everything went off without a hitch. Seems the panic was unfounded as all that was expected, certainly was surpassed. It all felt surreal especially the drive home. Oh Joy! Craftsmanship on the vehicle is astounding. The work to produce every single unit is in the hundreds of hours. And it all comes together as, while driving, you look upon the Flying Lady, known as "The Spirit of Ecstasy" Because nearly every task is completed by hand, it takes anywhere from 1 to 3 1/2 months to complete one (depending on bespoke additional options) Also interesting to me was that, because it is hand-built, mistakes will be hard to detect and most likely only in a single car. As to where, if a robotic arm is producing a car, it could affect thousands of products that robot touched. (Quora answer) Among the many fallacies associated with Rolls Royce vehicles: *If you break down, they immediately dispatch a mechanic in a helicopter *The armrest is edible in case you are in dire hunger *Rolls Royce vehicles never need service *The Flying Lady is Silver This last one is not automatic. You may order it in real Silver or Gold, but will add to the price BTW...if someone tries to snatch it off the grill, it retracts downward viciously and a plate covers over it. :) Wish I could give more Stars as that where my head was when the purchase was completed. Altogether my complete experience was wonderful and memorable. Not soon to be repeated as my Grandma said: enough jon! Thank you for reading =)
