Halfords Autocentres?

tom619 · 01-10-2015, 02:24 PM

Got a good deal on tyres at the moment 5% off just wondering if anyone ever used one?

Normally cheapest on camskill or mytyres and have them fitted yourself, almost garauntee they are cheaper

Not too sure about that.. My mate paid Â£20 a corner to get tyres he ordered off amazon.

I live in Glasgow btw

off topic but dont use halfords autocentre for any repairs to your car. they have 16-17 yr old apprentices who probably do most of the work.

Thats steep, should be no more than Â£10 a corner, chances are each tire on halfords even with 5% off wont touch the prices of other sites even getting them fitted

As said camskill are very competitive! I get them off there and fitted for £12.50 a corner. Still works out a lot cheaper.

It's not a bad drive to Camskill from Glasgow & well worth a visit

yeah, Blackcircles gets my vote everytime.

Is that right?

A mate of mine recently used Halfords to fit some tyres and they damaged his alloys in the process. They have agreed to pay for a refurb but still thought it worth mentioning

Camskill (UK) Ltd, Pottery Rd, Whitehaven, Cumbria CA28 9BZ

I drove up from Merseyside a couple of years ago, well worth the visit

Nickos · 01-12-2015, 12:40 PM

Oponeo are kingdingaling. I then had them fitted locally for a tenner a corner.

On another note, I wouldn't let Halfords touch my car in any way, shape or form!

Billyray911 · 01-12-2015, 04:38 PM

Have used both Camskill and LoveTyres,but over the last couple of years Oponeo can't be touched for price.Just bought a couple of rear 19" Asymmetric 2's and delivery was a couple of days.
Camskill may offer a price beater,but they refuse to beat Oponeos' prices...

Poison32 · 01-14-2015, 02:23 PM

Yes have bought 4 new falkens from openeo in the last year found them the cheapest front 2 were fitted at halfords for £15 the other 2 the wife took it to kwik fit and was £26

Pacman83 · 01-14-2015, 03:16 PM

The issue I have now with Camskill is that they don't fit them anymore. I live near Whitehaven and had all my previous tyres paid & fitted there. Don't see the point now.
