Halfords McConechys Leith Autocentre

First member of staff we came across was an apprentice who was quite rude but the staff behind the counter remedied that situation quickly, we missed our MOT slot due to our own mistake but they still managed to get our car in the same day, great service overall.

Madeline was so helpful and lovely to deal with! She was so knowledgeable and sorted my problem out in a minute. I would definitely recommend this store.

Very poor service- turned up two minutes late for an MOT appointment and they wouldn’t do the MOT. The man behind the desk told me it “wasn’t his problem” I was late even though he was on the phone for about 3 mins when I showed up, making me later. Wouldn’t book here again.

Ordered a new bike with a basket + assembly with 2 weeks collection. Late in the date they realised that the basket should be installed - called me and I verified. Kept checking if it is ready and the evening before I got a final verification that everything was ready. The next morning: over 1 h waiting for it to be ready because basket is not installed. I took it home and: 1) the front wheel is not aligned with the handlebars - it is pretty bad, 2) the mud guard is loose. Bike is good but at the end I have to now invest time myself to do these small bits.

Very poor service specially with online booking as I believe they préfère pop in job for some reason.

Cowboys and Scammers. Use fraudulent, misleading scare tactics to pressure lone females into unnecessary repair works. Unable to provide reasonable answers to these issues when questioned. Site 'manager', who apparently has no powers to resolve these issues, acknowledged the suspicious looking nature of the work that had been conducted and fobs you off to 'customer service, as its above his paygrade'. Claimed to have 'perfectly fitted' an exhaust that rattles on underside of car, breaking mounting brackets in the process. Attempted to pass this off as a noise that would 'settle down as the exhaust cokes up over 200 miles'. Manager told me to shut up on leaving, as I recommended incomming customers took their business elsewhere. Quite simply they will take your money and tell you any garbage to try and get rid of you! Avoid.

Amazing service, fixed an issue with my car quickly that a main dealer quoted me over £1100 for. Could have easily ripped me off and charged me hundreds to do work that didn’t need doing, but were honest and incredibly helpful.

- never go again here, a big NO.- pathetic workforce with no manners to talk to the customers.- they provide no timeline when the car will be ready- whole day kept on waiting for their call and my evening plans got ruined, also had to cancel few meetings for next day- mot cant be trusted.- highly priced- I had to select 1 star as there was no 0 option.

I ordered replacement tyres online and these were fitted yesterday by McConechy's in Leith, Edinburgh. The service was very good, the process didn't take long at all and the staff were courteous and friendly. There's a little waiting room with free tea & coffee if you want to hang around while the work is being done, or alternatively you can walk to The Shore which is nearby (about 5/10 mins walk) - this area is really picturesque and has lots of cafés and restaurants to spend time at while you wait for your vehicle to be ready. I'd definitely return to this Autocentre again if I needed work done on my car.

I was 6 minutes late for my booked MOT and they refused to provide the service. The team were happy to rebook me for another available day.
