What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Honest, clear communication is the thread running through feedback about this Cambridge operation, with motorists describing how faults were explained before any work began and how they were told when nothing needed doing. Accounts of an air conditioning check note that a suspected leak was never found and no unnecessary repairs were pushed, while other drivers mention being kept informed throughout servicing and repairs. Staff members Kim, Marco and Ed are singled out for patience and professionalism, particularly when explaining problems to owners who admit limited mechanical knowledge.

Jobs covered in the reviews include routine and major servicing, MOT testing, exhaust and tyre checks, brake work, wheel alignment and electrical diagnosis, all reportedly completed promptly and correctly, with one damaged undertray removed without charge and a follow-up check made after repairs. Reviewers also describe efficient tracing of multiple faults and a fair, transparent approach to pricing, alongside useful payment plans and club discounts that softened the cost of unexpected work. The garage is portrayed as friendly, well organised and thorough, offering practical guidance on keeping a car maintained between visits. Thoughtfulness during MOT failures comes up repeatedly, including a driving instructor who valued the seriousness given to safety checks.

Service is always excellent. I signed up for the Halfords club to get a free MOT and discount in my repairs which was well worth it. I always use their payment plans which have been a big help when unexpected repairs are needed.

Again, another fantastic experience with Cambridge Halfords. Kim was an absolute diamond who was very professional, kind and informative to not only myself but other customers she was working with. Kim made the process quick and simple and answered any questions I had. I’d also like to give a shout out to the mechanics who worked on my vehicle. They were honest and transparent with what needed doing and achieved everything in a timely and professional manner. In short. HIGHLY recommend!

Great staff and very helpful after my MOT failed. The team checked everything thoroughly, explained the issues clearly, and helped me understand what needed to be done. Professional, friendly, and committed to high standards. As a driving instructor, I appreciate businesses that take vehicle safety seriously, and I would happily recommend this garage. 😊

Had van booked in , drove into cambridge for 8am which took 45mins, took the day of work duue to being told the van would be in all day, had someone follow me in, who also sat in the cambridge rush traffic. We got there and were told they couldn't do the van as the ramp broke down the day before. We did not receive a phone call or email or any notification to say do not come in. When I asked when it could be re-booked, I was told don't know, could be over 4 weeks.the van was booked in due to a brake fault notification. Very bad customer service.

I have been very happy with the Halfords team at the Cambridge Coral Park location. Excellent communication and transparency on service and repairs I’ve needed. It’s a relief to have a local garage I know I can trust and rely on.

Short notice free check of exhaust system which proved the system was good, at the same time worn front tyres were highlighted and a reasonable quote provided. The work was carried out promptly plus a 5% discount for Premier club membership. All very good!

I am extremely happy with the service I received at Halfords Autocentre in Cambridge. I took my car in for an air conditioning diagnostic because I was worried there might be a leak. After carrying out a thorough inspection, they honestly informed me that there were no leaks detected. They could have easily suggested unnecessary repairs or additional work, but instead they were completely transparent and truthful. It is very rare to find such honest and trustworthy professionals. Their integrity gave me great peace of mind, and I truly appreciate their professionalism and excellent customer service. I highly recommend this garage to anyone looking for reliable and honest mechanics. Thank you to the team for your outstanding service!
