Like Halfords maybe ????

Now that could be the beginning of a totally new rant?


And how. I took my wife's car to Halfords (closest to work) and asked them
to fit a headlamp bulb. I was wearing a suit and didn't want to get mucky.
They ****ed about for twenty minutes and couldn't get it right then the
"bulb fitter" handed me the bulb and walked away. I followed him back into
the shop and asked for a new bulb and the money for fitting the bulb back.
Took moaning all the way up to shop manager level to get the cash refunded.
I wanted a new bulb because dickwad handled the bulb capsule with bare
hands.

Took the car to the garage where it is normally serviced which I should
have done first time. Fitted the Halfords bulb for free and it took them
about two minutes.
