Arranged to have a replacement Halfords car battery fitted at home for my Halfords battery that had failed whilst still under its 5 year guarantee. A technician duely arrived and fitted the replacement battery. However the car would still not start. Although the replacement battery fitted was covered in dust and "looked tired" the fitter assured me that it was fully charged and OK and that the problem was not with the battery but something else with the car that he could not help me with .He then left with no further comment or assitance - Job Done! I therefore had to contact a local garage who after examining the problem informed me that the replacement battery that was fitted and I was left with was an old out of warranty battery unfit for purposeI which was the sole cause of the problem and was the only reason why the car would not start up. I trust that Halfords/TyresOnTheDrive will look into how such a disgraceful level of service was supplied by the company.
