Halfords Trade Card
Now i know most people would not be eligible to get a trade card, If your self employed and can prove that your a motor mechanic or something similar, then it shouldn't be a problem.
I got one by mocking up some headed notepaper and black invoices in openoffice.
just went in to the local branch with it and told them I was just starting a mobile mechanic business, showed him the notepaper, filled in a form, 10 minutes later had the card
you don't know the exact discount until you buy, you can have it scanned and checked before you buy though.
discounts are generally very good
batteries 50% off
bulbs/wipers/oil etc between 30% and 60% off
tools 40% off
auto parts between 10% and 40% off
paints/fillers etc 10% off
the above are just a guide based on my experience, halfords do not publish the discounts.
discounts do not apply to car audio, wheels, bikes, auto dress up stuff, sat navs etc
just remember, halfords are on a drive to try to take back some of the parts business from small local motor factors, so they have been instructing their staff to offer trade cards to 'enthusiastic amateurs' as well as trade.
oh, and they give you two reciepts, one with the full price on and one with the reduced price.
