Buy Now and Repay in Summer
We are excited to introduce our new Buy Now and Repay in Summer option which runs alongside our other payment options such as Klarna and Pay Assist. This will be available in our Halfords garages as part of our Drive Safe campaign.
How does it work?
Buy Now Repay in Summer gives you a 0% APR on orders over £99 at our garages. You will be able to pay 15% of the deposit upfront and don't need to pay anything for 7 months. Following this, the remaining balance is paid in three equal monthly instalments in months 7, 8 and 9
For example:
You need a new set of tyres as a result of your MOT. The garage advises that two new tyres are £207.98 which you may not be able to afford at that current time. But with our new proposition you would be able to make a deposit of £31.20 on the day and then 7 months later pay £58.93, 8 months later pay £58.93 and 9 months later you pay the last instalment of £58.93.
Buy Now Repay in Summer is available in-garage at HAC and National centres, as well as online for National. Please note, this payment option includes a full hard credit check on all applications, regardless of value.
