Does Halfords still sell and fit parking sensors?

As per the title really. I have been calling them for last two days and literally no one answers the phone in the shop near to me and I cant find any info on website and google search returns only some articles from 2013. 

I need front and rear and I have been quoted so far £250 which I find excessive. I believe Halfords was much cheaper

They have temporarily closed some of their less busy stores.  Have you tried HQ?

£250 fitted doesn't seem too bad - it's not a plug and play job, wiring needs to be run etc which isn't really a quick job.

There is a reason for that.

£250 isn't excessive. No doubt it can be done cheaper but, as above, it's nowhere near as simple as drilling 4 holes and plugging in. Running the wires can be a pig in itself depending on the model of car.

What makes you think £250 is excessive for front and rear sensors?

No-one from Halfords would be coming near my car with a drill.

So lets say it takes a professional roughly two hours to do the job.  £50 an hour sounds about right for either a mechanic or auto electrician. That leaves £150 for the front and rear parking sensors and control unit.  Sounds fair to me.

Have a look and see if there’s an auto electrician in your area, I have used one to fit a dash cam recently, his website says they do parking sensors ect, I would imagine there’d be something like that where you are, worth a try,
