I was going to nip in and get that one from coalvile at some point. Gives me a reason to get the mini out and at 95p it's a cheap spare. |

I went in there for some alloys and tyres for my old yaris, and after a 15 minute discusion (arguement) I eventually got out of the store with the wheels as the computer said they were the wrong ofset, even though they were the perfect fit. one day boost will be mine!

I gave up long ago when every time I asked for something simple, such as a drive belt or brake fitting kits, the usual reply was, "have you tried the motor factors round the corner? we no longer stock them"

Halfords are good for consumables, oil, screen wash, bulbs, spray paint, odds & ends, etc. as they are usually easy to get to and open better hours. However their parts range is poor, their customer service & knowledge is usually poor (there are some staff the opposite of this, at which point you wonder if you're in the wrong shop!) and some of their prices are excessive.

Theyre good for tools, and fluids and the odd bits and pieces. As far as parts are concerned, theyre a load of crap. And having a mates trade card to hand makes a fair bit of difference to the steep prices, else id never use them at all. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

Simple: Halfords are open until 8 at night whilst most motor factors close at 5 and I rarely finish work before 6. I might not rate them that highly but they tend to be more useful than a shop that's shut. Isambard Kingdom Brunel said:

That said i have also sometime found main dealer parts cheaper than motor factors It is always worth phoning around now, including main dealers even for basic parts. In some cases main dealers are even cheaper than the likes of ECP and other specialists. I agree the handiness of their open hours is good. But their prices really are far higher here than even the dearest motor factors. 9.85 @ 145mph

Most people who know a little about cars steer clear. I just use them for UPOL weld through primer and tools when they have an offer on, unless I'm really stuck. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

The trade card really makes the difference, stuff like bulbs are very expensive at marked price, but with trade card very cheap. Batteries also get a very good discount with trade card, plus a 4 yr guarantee.
