Clarke Brothers isn't really an Auto Factors, they're actually a Clutch Specialist, so when my…read moreSWMBO burnt out the clutch on her ancient jalopy, I was sent to Clarkes as they were they only place who didn't answer her enquiry with "A what?" They are basically a two man operation, there's Gerry, who is a walking encyclopedia of all things clutch related, and Paul, who looks like he should be ripping the guts out of a Harley in LA somewhere instead of working in a clutch shop in Belfast. In any case they were able to supply a clutch to fit and were very reasonable about it. My second visit was an emergency when my father left his car into his local mechanic and the clutch supplied by the mechanic was wrong, just what he needed on a Saturday morning, of course the clutch was an oddball item that wasn't in stock, fortunately my hairy namesake took one look at it, told me to "Bugger off for an hour" and when I returned he had refurbished the clutch like new. In short, it's one of those businesses that's a throwback to a previous age, two blokes who know what they are talking about and will take the time for a bit of banter and to make sure you're happy.

Fortunately Clarkes was a pleasure to go to. They provide very competitvely priced clutches and will gladly go the extra mile in order to ensure that you get the parts you need as promptly as possible. There is space to park the car outside, which is very important for somewhere so close to the centre of Belfast. The staff are wonderfully polite and friendly, which in the macho world of car parts and repairs is a real plus!They provide installation and all other relevant advice, and are very helpful!

Halfords is a pretty good car brand. They have only just began popping up all over Northern…read moreIreland in the last few years and I like the range of car care items, in car audio and accessories and biking equipment, but I have a few issues with Halfords, and this branch in particular. First of all, their own brand range isn't of a great quality. True enough it is cheaper than other alternatives, but it is low quality, as I can profess when I had to bring back windscreen wipers I bought here three times. My most important qualm is to beware the online reserve and collect service. I wanted to get a bike for my girlfriends birthday, despite the fact that she is 21 and not 10, though I suppose that is a good thing or certain authorities would be after me after that admission! I reserved a bike in here as it is my nearest store. I even rang the day before I collected to check everything was going to be ok. Once I arrived, not only was my bike not ready, but it was out of stock in the store entirely. You would think this would warrant an apology but I got the surliest manager imaginable who showed no remorse for the event, and didn't even try and help me find something else in store or another Halfords. I ended up getting something in a Halford's in Downpatrick which I received excellent service, but I will never walk i this store again, despite it having a bigger selection. Service is important, and the staff here need to realise it.

Their shop is well laid out and even if you are not that into cars, you will still enjoy having a browse round. It is an absolute treasure trove if you are one of these people (usually guys, and sometimes girls, in their early twenties) who like their cars 'done up' In addition to the car repair side of things, they have a vast array of novelty items such as cartoon mudguards, chrome and LED gearstick knobs, metal tax disk holders, air fresheners, in fact, anything you can think of to pimp your ride... Classy! They also do various events, such as car care days, and have some great offers that are well worth calling in to see!

Everyone knows what Halfords do, they specialise in parts and accessories for all types of vehicles…read moreincluding bikes and trikes. But what I didn't know until recently was they could also fit electronics and fix minor car problems. I bought a new car radio and car garages were quoting me ridiculous prices and time frames to get it fitted - I like singing along with all my cheesy tunes in the car and not having a radio was really starting to impact on the likelihood of me getting spotted by a major record label whilst stopped at traffic lights. So obviously it become top priority to get my new radio fitted. This is where Halfords came in. I popped in to the shop in Bangor and they booked me in for the following day - all this cost was £30, which is an absolute bargain. I returned the next day and within 30 minutes Gareth - the car electrics expert had fitted my new radio and even sat with me until I connected my phone to make sure everything was working to perfection. I cannot find a fault in the service Halfords provided and it's worth noting that they employ experts who know their cars. This branch has a huge shared car park and plenty of space if the guys from Halfords need to pop your bonnet or test out your newly fitted wipers.
