    DIY - I wouldn't let any of them near my own car.

    Not at bloody 7.50 or whatever they charge. To this day that add on Dave makes me laugh.

    I don't think Halfords do scratch repairs OR alloy reconditioning anywhere in Ireland? They sell kits for the former but I doubt the latter.

    I edited to add "in ireland" while you were replying. Haven't seen it mentioned or offered in any of their Irish branches, and tbh I wouldn't let a staff member touch my car; particularly after one of them told me it "didn't have an oil filter" and tried to sell me an air filter for the 1980s model...

    Halfords is to motoring as Mc Donalds is to Restaurants. :)

    I suppose but they are dearer than the local motorfactors for A LOT of stuff. (RIPspeed not included :D)

    I have a wander around the store sometimes when im near them and their bargain bin has to be the funniest blue anodised grills they couldn't sell and sparco pedal sets (missing a pedal):D:rolleyes:

    :DYUP sounds about right! took me 3 visits to get a stereo fitted,took about 5 minutes,and they mumbled something about comission,the stereo came with free fitting,and they didnt want to leave the floor incase they lost a sale!!!! might be the companies fault not mine!

    Don't let Halfords near your car if you value it.

    If you need to have body work repaired or painted then I recommend Francis Christy in Jansboro (behind the Spotted Dog pub).

    For alloy wheel repair then try Collins' garage behind the Texaco filling station in Ballineety.
