Halfords rip off prices

[Jazoli]

Popped into halfords today as a bulb had popped on my Accord, I was amazed at the prices they try and charge for bulbs, I know their tools are good value and have bought loads but...

Halfords standard replacement H7 bulb £9.49

Standard replacement H7 bulb from motor factors £2.89

Its a joke, how can they justify it being nearly £7 more expensive, gits

I don't agree with their 2 tier pricing either with those with a trade card getting stuff for some half the shelf price. I only use Halfords if I'm desperate for something while working on my cars in an evening and the normal motor factors are closed.

Me either, like I said earlier I am happy to buy their tools but the only reason I popped in today was that I was passing, I drove the extra mile to the factors in the end.

doesnt alter the fact that nobody had a gun to the OP's head, he could have walked out of halfords and gone somewhere cheaper

I did, if you had read the post

Arnt there prices fitted though ? so £7 for the bulb but they fit it.

No its £9 for the bulb, then £5.99 if you want it fitted!

I don't even remember starting this thread all them years ago

I have a trade card for Halfords now and the prices are much more agreeable!
