Halfords are 'usually' run by brain damaged students that dont know what a car is never mind a part for one.

Dont ask - hunt it down yourself

I thought that aswell but buckled down to the hype. They do a really good job, made me wonder what id been doing all those years fannying around cleaning my car without one!! The finish really is worth £20................& im not a car washing - detailing fan boy at all, its worth it, there you go

The staff at my local halfords havent got a clue. I asked this girl if they had any red reflectors in stock "dunno ill have a look" she walked off. 10 minutes later i find her chatting with the girl on the till. I said to her did you find any? She said she didnt know then asked her mate who looked pretty spaced out and she didnt know either... I was like thanks for looking you no hope!

You don't need to use that quick detailer tbh. Just water spray will do

When i did my part-time 2 year student stint at Halfords (Ripspeed/Parts) your best bet is to just ask a specialist or the manager


Everyone else working there simply does not care about their job

Why did you not just go to the shelf and get it yourself?
