i dont really shop at halford as i think its over priced but i have a trade card but im scared to buy anything just incase the discount is poor and will end up paying near enough full price

do they have a price guide on items showing the discount or any way of finding out what you would pay before going to the check out?

[dave-88_123]

you can just ask for the price in store and produce your trade card

scared? odd choice of words... but I always use halfords as a "i need something in a rush and other motorfactors arent open" the fact i have a trade card just makes it a little more bearable

halfords classic oil 20w50 is £18.99 shop price. £14.99 trade card

bigger savings on brake fluid etc. 1ltr brake fluid is like £10 shop price, about £4 trade.

i just want to know if i go and buy something what discount im getting before i get ripped off

[Bungle]

no set discount it depends what you are buying

best to ask

[simplyminis]

so the only way to find out is at the check out

Stuff like bulbs and wipers is usually more than 50% off.

[Klevdo2202]

Yep, wipers are a lot cheaper with a trade card, I think my dad gets 50p off the aerosol cans as well

[callum2464]

if its service items or car parts like engine components and, best things i have got discount are,
sparkplugs rrp-14.99 trade- 4.89
bulbs 2 packs, would have been 8.99 for both them together, trade 1.49
theres load of others but dont have time to list everything

It varys so much.

I got one set of wipers 2 weeks ago for £7.odd, I then bought some last week for £15.odd, both were originally the same price but they had different discounts.

When I signed up for it I think it's up to 60% off halfords items and 20% off tools but it varys I'm sure they will do a price check for you :)

You ask over the phone. I always phone the one in Derby as I know they just tell you the price straight off over the phone, my local one in Tamworth asks for the trade card number EVERY time. Not a problem but adds time.

How easy is it to get a trade card? thinking of spending some christmas money on some new/better tools.
IVe read on their site that you need an NVQ or another certificate. Or a business card...? I can mock up a business card in 30 secs

[Bungle]

some people have done that and it's worked

i'm a self employed electrician and got one for buying tools and told them i also wired caravans and motor homes

gave them my domestic electrician card and showed them my sign written van outside

worked for me

the worse they can say is no (if they do try another branch)
