Why?

Why?

you can ask that about most of their input

Tightening the chain? Sounds interesting

They likely want to do an assessment to give you an idea of work needed.

They always do this.

I suspect mainly to get extra work from people who don't know any better. The assessment will almost always end up with a list of other things than what you brought it in for that they can fix for you.

Of course, you can always say "no thanks" to them doing any of that, but in many cases, people taking their bike to Halfords won't have the knowledge or ability to do those things themselves, or even to judge whether they are really necessary.

BTW, was there any reason for making your post so hard to read, or was it just being annoying for the sake of it?

If it's that easy, grab a spanner and adjust it.

A neighbours lad took his bike into halford for an assessment and their quote to repair was a lot of money more than the bike cost. I repaired it for much less but I had to attack the spares bin as a lot of the work they advised needed doing.

Sort it for your friend for a beer token then
(assume it’s a single speed)

Say to them "just the brake and chain adjustment please". It's not mandatory for you to agree to the other work.
