   Order number A961B060257, Tyre fitter was great , price for tyres was very competitive , however I opted for the TPMS service @£13.98 for both tyres , fitter could not do it and basically said that this involved replacing the valve cores and cleaning the valve recess that was already included in the price of fitting the tyre . This is a rip off add on service, avoid this service when booking tyres to be fitted , I would give the tyre fitter five stars but Halfords advertising and web sales only one star for misleading sales , as I paid £13.98 for a service I didn't need to have as it was already paid for . Contacting Halfords is almost impossible with may of the e mail addresses no longer being monitored , so dont hold out much hope for getting a refund for the TPMS service

   I cannot Warn you enough - Avoid at all costs - ordered two tyres run flats after putting my car details in - turns out the run flat tyres didn't fit although an option to select - The tyre fitter who attended was very agitated and told me id need to sign a waiver - even though the tyres could be selected from Halfords site - he then tried to force the tyres on the wheel rim and he damaged the rim all the way around - he informed me he was ripping the new tyres trying to get them on - he then refitted the old tyres - I pointed out the damage to him on the rim and he denied causing it when it was so obvious - I didn't wish to argue with him on the driveway so I just said Ill need to report it - I've reported the damage and rearranged to fit non run flat tyres - however I'm now being charged £44 extra - even £10:50 for attended to refit - I've raised a complaint and will see if this company has any integrity or values - somehow I dont think so - I WILL NEVER GO NEAR ANY HALFORDS PRODUCTS EVER AGAIN - I can only warn you to stay clear of Tyres on the drive if you think anything of you car. This was a very very uncomfortable experience. Ill update you on how this progresses.

   This company went down hill, fast! Had 2 tyres fitted recently. One went on fine, the other was fitted and one bolt was cross threaded, myself and the technician had to shake the wheel off the car to remove the wheel (the wheel come off fine without issues before the tyre was fitted) The technician said it was weird and fitted my wheel without the damaged bolt and left. Customer service told me the damage will be paid in full after I get the wheel hub replaced. I requested that in an email and was told that’s “physically impossible” by the person over the phone. Three weeks later and the Halfords team confirm it’s my fault without even physically seeing the damage. The offer to pay 50% to replace the wheel hub even after leaving me with a wheel fitted with only 4 bolts and originally said the damage would be paid in full. I’ll never use tyres on the drive OR Halfords again and will spread the word to everyone I meet.

   I don’t normally write reviews as a 22 year old, I can never be bothered but I have had such a bad experience with them I felt a had to share it and warn you not to bother with them. I spent £400 on two new tyres for my car which isn’t cheap but I thought it would be a reliable service. I book a slot for a Wednesday evening between 6-8 as I only get home from work at 5:30 thinking great. I receive a phone call at 5:50 from the hub saying the driver is running behind as he had van issue can I reschedule for Friday. I said can someone else come or I drive to them but he said no as the tyres I had ordered where on the van that was already out. I thought sod it I can wait a couple days and ask for the time slot on Friday in which he replied he can only do between 4-8 and can’t do it specifically for 6-8 when I’d be home. He then tells me to ring an 0300 number as they have the authority to make specific time requests. So I do that, after half an hour on the phone a lady picks up, I tell her my experience she says hold, I do, another 15 minutes go by. She then tells me the tyres had never been ordered or come in and that she would have to reorder them. I said that’s okay and will that be Friday? No, there was never a time slot available on Friday and the bloke had lied to me on the phone. I’m not one to moan but at this point I was like is there anything you can do to at least try and do it asap as being lied to miffs me off and she said no the next available slot is the following week. I honestly couldn’t believe it what a joke. Don’t bother with them support a local garage instead

   Absolute waste of time and money! They charged me £12 for a 4-hour slot, the technician reported on the tracking system that he was on his way to me with 30m to go, then “went sick”. A sunny Friday afternoon near the South Coast, it seems obvious to me that he preferred to be in ‘spoons than fitting my tyres. I cut short my day out to be there for that slot, the least he could have done was to show up. The least the company could have done was to take my helpline call, but it seems all the telephone advisers were taking a short week too. Desperately unimpressed. If you need the service promised and paid for, AVOID!

   I had tyres on the drive fit me two new front tyres monday, i only picked the car up the Friday before and it was absolutely immaculate. Not a single mark on any of the wheels. The fitter showed up on time and fitted the tyres however in the process damaged one of my wheels, i checked my wheels over prior to them been fitted and with the location of the damage i can only assume its from a tyre lever, i managed to contact the fitter personally who told me he was a supervisor and would help speed the process of having the damage repaired. I also emailed him the photos, plus emailed them to customer services. I have had no response from either. I do have every faith in tyres on the drive to rectify the damage and the second my issue is resolved i will adjust my review to suit! After all we all make mistakes at work. My job number is 1403098, please contact me tyres on the drive and lets get this resolved.

   As per phone conversation with Dan at… As per phone conversation with Dan at Tyres On The Drive today (Saturday 04/12/2021) please find attached clear photos of the damaged wheel rim requested. The photos show damage in four areas of the wheel rims face & also a slap dash attitude to wheel rim balancing weight application. The damage was caused by your faulty tyre fitting machine together with a very young & inexperienced technician. One of the hydraulic rams located on the underside of the tyre fitting machine's turntable fell off due to a missing washer & circlip thus allowing the wheel rim to slip within the four anchor jaws of the tyre fitting machine. Then in horror the technician advised me that the heavy steel pivoting swing out arm of the tyre fitting machine had fallen off & struck the face of my wheel. Good Afternoon Mr Strange. Thank you for your email. I have spoken to the technician's manager who has stated that the damage was caused by our technician. I am very sorry that this has happened and we expect our colleagues to take much more care with our customers wheels.
