Halfords Trade - THE_Liam - 04-12-2012
Anyone know what kind of discount you get on service parts? Got a spare day tomorrow so think I should finally service the DT after its 500 mile weekend, and can't be arsed waiting for parts to turn up...

RE: Halfords Trade - samass - 04-12-2012
can save up to 20 quid on a full service i think... unless my memory is totally terrible from when i did it last
RE: Halfords Trade - THE_Liam - 04-12-2012
Hmm, not bad. I'm not that bothered for quality in a lot of ways, it's a £400 diesel on 95k...

RE: Halfords Trade - Oil-burner - 04-12-2012
Would it be cheaper at ECP with the club discount?
RE: Halfords Trade - THE_Liam - 04-12-2012
That's what I'm thinking but I want the parts tomorrow
RE: Halfords Trade - samass - 04-12-2012
If you want RadWeld I know it's like 98p on trade
RE: Halfords Trade - Oil-burner - 04-12-2012
You can order online and collect in store. If you order it tonight it'll be ready in the morning
RE: Halfords Trade - THE_Liam - 04-12-2012
Can you still use the discount? And Sam, I have Radweld already in case I'm REALLY desperate...

Exhaust putty is also around 98p...
RE: Halfords Trade - Dum-Dum - 04-12-2012
The halfords discount is great, think i saved about £40 off a service kit and glow plugs.
You wont get bosch duraterms cheaper anywhere than you will on halfords trade, iirc its £12 a pair so £24 for 4
I think it was £5-7 of 5l of oil and the same off 5l of coolant Oil filter goes down to about £2, fuel filter is about £3
RE: Halfords Trade - Anton - 04-12-2012
Need a trade card!
RE: Halfords Trade - Oil-burner - 04-12-2012
Out of interest how are people getting trade cards?
RE: Halfords Trade - Dum-Dum - 04-12-2012
On the old system. Im down as a "high volume parts buyer" had to take in 3 months worth of factor receipts to prove it.
RE: Halfords Trade - zx_volcane - 04-12-2012
Some bits are cheap, but usually only own brand stuff.
No discount on car care (ie polish and stuff), audio, bike parts ..etc
Fuel filters are around £4 a pop VS about £3 from ecp with discount. reckon ecp would may carry better quality filters too.
Re: Halfords Trade - Dan! - 04-12-2012
I work in a garage so just took in a few months worth of payslips and that was fine. I think mechanic qualifications from college are adequate aswel...

RE: Halfords Trade - Ben - 04-12-2012
I got mine because I'm an engineer for a company and I just showed them an engineering qualification. My companies never mentioned it so I'm guessing they dont find out as I've had it a couple of years
RE: Halfords Trade - samass - 04-12-2012
got mine cuz i'm studying auto engineering at uni. showed them my id and course letter, job done. even got trade in there before with just my id card when i forgot my trade card
RE: Halfords Trade - THE_Liam - 04-12-2012
I found mine
Think I'll just go in and ask, at least I can get the parts there and then instead of waiting 3 days for ECP to send me the wrong f*cking parts and then blame me...
RE: Halfords Trade - Niall - 04-12-2012
Got mine because i gave the manager a blowie
nah i just asked for one. Admittedly i used to work there but they still didnt have to give me one!
RE: Halfords Trade - swampy - 04-12-2012
Forgot I had one of these inmy wallet
Need some anti freeze for the Alfa
Got to change the thermostat!!
Now that's a job and the part alone cost £85 retail though I got it thru work trade for £60
RE: Halfords Trade - Toms306 - 04-12-2012
Got mine cos I bought a 306 off the manager of halfords. Also have another one from a guy on pugnet lol. And yeah you do save quite a bit on service parts. It works out roughly the same as Ecp after 25% discount though last time I compared them.
RE: Halfords Trade - THE_Liam - 05-12-2012
Right, I decided to just get it all at Halfords so I could get it done today, in case this helps anyone I'll post what I got:
Halfords air filter £8.99 - £6.88
Halfords oil filter £6.99 - £2.01
Halfords fuel filter £9.49 - £4.08
Halfords indicator bulbs x2 £4.99 - £1.00
