    It might be better to change the subject to "Don't use Halfrauds for parts" as they're usually way more expensive than the motor factors.

    or use this.

    Sounds weird this doesn't it?:D

    Well I took my dads Micra to my local Nissan dealer for a service and they rang up with a few things that the car needed. One was new front and rear wipers for £18 inc VAT & fitted free. I suspect that I'd be paying £24.99 for the front pair in Halfords and £11.99 for the rear one.

    Also they fitted a couple of bulbs free and only charge 69p for each bulb.:money:

    It's all psycological stuff. The wipers were probably ten quid, but theyu charged you 18 and offered free fitting of them and bulbs.
