Wanted to whip the radio out of the runabout and asked my mrs to grab a set of release keys from Halfords. I was very carefull to tell her not to get the older hoop type release key.

Off she pops and I get a phone call telling me the woman had given her the hoop type as it was definately correct and I was wrong. Mrs went back and said no the keys were not correct and the woman huffed and puffed and gave her another set. Brilliant! until I went to remove the deck and quickly realised this set were wrong as well. Wrong keys provided twice in an evening.

Fucking bunch of useless mongtards

 

If you want a job doing properly, don't send a woman

 

Unless it to do with washing up, hoovering or cooking the dinner.

 

Mine can't even do that

 

Time for a trade in

 

there is a lesson here, dont usehalfords for fuck all!

 

got shot of mine as useless...

 

Halfords tools are good. Plus I've always bought my stereos from there. I think the main problem is the staff. Cannock use to be full of my mates that knew a lot about cars or at least had a keen interest. Now its full of girls and emo lads that know fuck all, especially in the parts department lmao

 

Defo agree lol.

my mrs wouldnt even go for me. Anything car related i sort outm

 

But the staff should have been able to give her the right release key, not ALL her fault is it lol

 

Same here mate. Doesn't know what the iron even looks like.

 

I feel your pain.

 

To be fair to my Mrs she doesn't know about cars, doesn't get why I spend so much time and money playing with them but was kind enough to try and help me out.

 

Schoolboy error using Halfords

 

fair play to her.

Be there myself being told by a guy in his 30's that my ford galaxy 2.3 petrol had a vw lump in it as thats what the computer says and i was wrong. I didnt even bother telling him i was in the trade just laughed at him.

 

I worked with a lad who bought a bike from there and they built it for him.
The first time he went out on it the front wheel was loose and a pedal fell off

 

Not many alternatives at 7pm.

 

Maybe use the reserve and collect feature online next time?

Then you should get the exact one you need.

 

I know - it is a sad state of affairs when you have to go there.

 

Went there years ago for a battery for my 3.0s Capri, guy comes out with a battery half the size
Me that's not it
Him yea that's what the book says!
Went to the local motor factors , they did laugh
