Car needs a new battery (drove it Saturday, wouldn't start Tuesday)
Do I just key in the existing one into ebay and buy the cheapest, or
go into town to Halfords,
or is there a better or cheaper battery?

Dont trust Halfords. They sold an elderly neighbour a new battery, a
few days later that was also flat. The problem was a loose fan belt!


whats's that got to do with Halfords? they sell parts.


These days they sell services too.


That was ambiguous!

1) You can buy services such as 'change a battery', 'change a buld#.
2) You can buy a 'periodic' 'service' of the vehicle.
