Halfords Autocentres has launched a car collection and delivery service. Running from 215 of its garages across the UK, the service is available alongside service or MOT with a service bookings. The service means staff at the Autocentre will collect the car from your home and return it when work has been completed. The company is charging £19.99 for the service.

Customers must book the service over the phone and ensure their vehicle is parked in a suitable location. They will also need to hand over their keys while observing the latest social distancing measures. All technicians will wear a new pair of disposable gloves and sanitiser for each job. They will then perform a damage inspection check on the vehicle.

Before entering the vehicle, they will open the car doors and windows for five minutes to make sure that it is sufficiently ventilated. They will then fit the car with a protective car care kit including a seat cover, floor mat, steering wheel cover, gear leaver and hand brake wrap to ensure that each job is carried out as safely as possible.

After performing the service or MOT with a service, the car will then be returned to the customer at their home address.

Dave Scollard-Kerr, Halfords Autocentres central operations director says:  “By introducing a car collection and delivery service, we believe we are giving customers affected by the lockdown the flexibility and convenience they need in these challenging times. It means motorists can still have an MOT or service without having to leave their home.”
