Awesome
Halfords = St.Helens
A dedicated top floor to bike and accessories. Staff who actually want to work there and know exactly what they are talking about. Reservations made online are stored well and easy to collect. I love the place - bright, clean and spacious.
Worst Halfords ever = Winwick (Warrington)
Bike section dumped in the bottom left-hand corner of the store. Dark, dingy and unclean. Last time I went there was a massive puddle of water in front of the bike section main desk (which was unmanned). Waited for 5 minutes for service. Even a guy behind me with his child asked me how long I'd been waiting to be served. When I did finally get seen to, I was taken to three different counters to try and locate my online reservation. In the end it turns out that nothing had been reserved - the member of staff dealing with me had to go and pick stuff off the shlelves/racks. Reserved indeed (!). They even attempted to charge money for these items - even though I'd paid online. Absolutely useless. Avoid at all costs.
