Got any engineering qualifications? If so, get yourself a halfords trade card. Last set of blades I bought from there with the trade card cost me around a fiver for a pair.

Failing that, I'd go with Bosch ones from ebay, at lease you know you are getting something quality.

Or go to a factors instead of Halfords?
Most of my wipers go out over the counter for about £3 each as opposed to a tenner a go at a retailer

Bosch ones average around £8-£10 a pair from the motor factors.

I know its expensive buying for 4 cars but wipers are not really something to be cheap about, the only time you'll find there shit is when you need them most.
