time i came clean! halfords content

I did for a short while, still recovering!

Crap company, Crap job, even Craper wages.

Al. keep smiling! :D
 
after 6 and a bit years working in the cycle dept got completely pee'd off with that, so now work with car parts! so nice when people listen to your advice :LOL: :LOL:

cheap parts? not a bit of it! 15% off inflated retail price! although do do a ctw scheme and get 15% off a bike extra....
 
I worked in the bike dept. I just used to tell people if they want a proper bike, properly built and serviced to a good standard, go to a proper bike shop!

I also refused to sell some bikes, as they were not fit for purpose!

The manager loved me! Didn't last long, as i said. :LOL:

no need to be ashamed .

my local halfords is better than the bike shop . they have all sorts of nuts and bolts and if you know what you are looking for it is ok .

I prefer decathlon but it is a bit further .
 
GF's nephew had a bike for Christmas one year, the bearings fell out the back wheel, the bike was a £79 special.

Halfords refused repair as 'he's been off road - its not suitable for that'.

I pointed out the huge advert for said bike behind the salesman, said bike was 'off-road' and about 2 foot in the air.


Bike was fixed.
 
Oh, i have stories that would make your hair curl! :shock:

The best ones usually have a saturday boy involved! As at the shop i worked in, not a single one had any training.
But all of them were allowed to PDI bikes. Sad!!
