Halfords

Well stocked but well over priced!
I needed a new car battery, phoned round a few places but most would have to order in, Halfords on the other hand had what I wanted in stock. Popped down to Enfield to find they had two types — normal (460 crank amps for those who know what I’m talking about) at £80 and £90 for the heavy duty battery (510 CA) and they were asking £4.99 to fit it — I worked that out to be nearly £60 per hour fitting! I found them a bit pushy and desperate for me to buy the more expensive battery.
Reluctantly I phoned my main dealer as a last resort before parting with £95. They had the heavy duty in stock, supplied fitted and VAT £80, saving myself £15 which I intend to spend down the pub on Friday — who says Main Dealers are pricey, well sometimes they are not.
