What is a Car Warranty?
A car warranty protects you against costs for both parts and labour after a mechanical or electrical failure in your vehicle. They can be supplied or sold by manufacturers and retailers alike, as well as third-party car warranty providers and insurance companies. Protection from car warranties in the UK often varies according to the terms of the agreement and depends on the car owner maintaining their vehicle to manufacturer specifications.

What warranty does my product have?
All of our items come with a 12 month warranty as standard, but some of our products come with an extended warranty period. If you have any questions, please contact your local store.
If you do need to return a faulty product to the store, don’t forget your proof of purchase. We may need to verify the serial number on your receipt against the serial number on the item being returned.
Warranty on exchanged items
If you do have to exchange an item that has a valid warranty, you are not issued a new warranty. Instead, the original warranty continues. For example, if you were to bring back a faulty stereo after eight months and it has a 12 month warranty, the new stereo (providing it’s the same model) will be covered under the original warranty for the remaining four months - it will not have a 12 month warranty of its own. This does not affect your statutory rights at all. If for any reason the second item develops a fault after six months when the original warranty will have expired, you should still be able to make a claim with us under the Consumer Rights Act if need be.
What warranty do I have on my battery?
All of our batteries come with a warranty, and the length of this warranty is printed on the label on the front of the battery, whether it be for 3, 4 or 5 years or a Lifetime warranty. Please bear in mind that the Lifetime warranty refers to the lifetime of the vehicle and not the customer, and only applies to the battery supplied. Batteries used in a commercial or professional application, such as taxis, driving instructors, emergency services, work vehicles, etc., are not covered by the full term of the warranty but instead, come with a 6 month warranty. Motorbike and scooter batteries are covered by a 12 month warranty.

Car Bulb warranty
The warranty on all Halfords incandescent vehicle light bulbs is a standard 12 month warranty. This includes the 9011 HiR1 and 9012 HiR2 bulbs. This warranty offers replacement light bulbs which can be offered twice within a 12 month period, with no restart of the warranty. If more than two bulbs blow in 12 months we would advise having your car's electrical systems checked. Please note that the exceptions to these warranties are the range of LED super bright bulbs which can be used off-road and have a warranty period of five years. HID bulbs have a warranty period of three years. If you paid to have the bulbs fitted at the time, we'll also happily replace them free of charge.
Bike Lock warranty
All of our Halfords branded locks carry a 1 year warranty. This covers defects which stop the lock from working. The warranty doesn't cover wear and tear, non-defective rusting or insurance against theft. Certain models from premium brands Magnum and Kryptonite carry lifetime guarantees - you'll need to register online with the manufacturer to take advantage of this, and any claims you'd make would need to be made with the manufacturer. This does not affect your statutory rights.
Karcher warranties
Karcher warranties cover their Home and Garden machines for domestic use. Any commercial use of the product will immediately void any warranty. In order for the warranty to be active, you'll need to register your product at kaercher.com. Please note that Karcher warranties are split into 30 day exchange with the retailer, and the remainder of the term is a Return-To-Base repair. The unit can either be collected from the store should you take it in, or from a home or work address if this is preferable. During this time, neither Halfords nor Karcher are under any obligation to provide a loan unit while the faulty unit is being repaired. For more information, please contact Karcher directly.
Bikehut Tools warranty
All BikeHut branded repair tools are covered by a no quibble Lifetime warranty and can be replaced by popping into any store. We may not always carry spares of your tool, but we'll order it and get it to you as soon as we can, usually around three working days. Please note that this covers normal use and not misuse, and is not applicable to BikeHutcleaning tools which are covered by a 12 month guarantee.
Autoguard warranty
MBI Autoguard offer warranties which can be purchased in dealerships for new and second-hand cars, motorbikes, caravans and motorhomes. Any remedial work is done at a Halfords Garage including audio equipment repairs up to the value of £500.
Technology fitting and vehicle warranty
Some vehicle manufacturers or independent retailers have warranties which become void after the fitting of aftermarket stereos, or the hardwiring of dashcams or sat nav units. We would recommend that you should check the Terms and Conditions of your warranty prior to having any such work carried out. It may be that the retailer or dealership you bought the vehicle from would have a list of approved dealerships for such installations. It is up to you where you decide to go, and we would be happy to help should you choose us.
