Consumer-impact summary
[edit | edit source]Warranty terms
[edit | edit source]Halfords sells add-on warranties at the point of sale during mobile fitting appointments. Published warranty terms contain restrictions that are not disclosed to customers in the checkout, including a requirement that the Extended Tyre Warranty can only be redeemed at fixed garages — not via the mobile service through which it is sold. This has implications under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 regarding unfair terms and the transparency and prominence requirements.

Tyre warranty sold via mobile fitting, redeemable only at fixed garages (2026)
[edit | edit source]Halfords sells an Extended Tyre Warranty during mobile tyre fitting bookings, labelling it as a "Mobile Fitting" product in the checkout with no disclosure that it cannot be redeemed via the same mobile service. Halfords' own terms state the warranty may only be redeemed at fixed garages and autocentres, leaving customers with an undrivable vehicle and no mobile redemption route.
