Twenty five years ago a band of ex mechanics responded to an advert inviting them to join the Garage Revolution. This was a business that was indeed revolutionary and looked upon by the traditional Motor Industry with suspicion and disgust. How could a retail business know how to operate a garage. How indeed!
Despite all the doubting and concerns people had (including customers) Halfords was indeed ahead of its time. Many concepts trialled and tested in Halfords are only just coming into mainstream business activity such as

• Team working
• Integrated parts and service
• Fast Check Diagnosis
• Vehicle Health Checks
• Traffic light reporting
• “Underselling” Sales Techniques
• Fast Fit separation
• Elimination of administration for frontliners
• Technicians trained on universal vehicle systems
• Job Talent Matching
• 100% money back if customer not entirely satisfied

And many more!!

This website is aimed particularly at garages who wish to join the guiding principles of our garage revolution started 25 years ago and is a free resource for independent minded people who wish to develop their business.

For those of you who were part of the garage revolution we have collected a few photographs and memorabilia.
