Had a new tyre fitted at vast expense a couple of months ago. Found it flat this morning cussing: cussing: cussing:
Drove to nearby tyre place and waited for them to open evil:
They fitted a new tyre as I had driven it flat. No puncture found. Halfords had fitted a super long valve which had snagged on a Kerb and bent. cussing: Mr New Tyre Man said it was the wrong valve.
4.45 tonight went to Halfords. Showed the manager (age 14) the old valve. Asked him why it was bent. "It is a long valve". Yes, what wheels would they normally fit such a valve to?
"Steel rims, never alloys."
Me: "It was fitted to my alloy wheels here 7 weeks ago" eveilgrin:
Him: "Not all alloy wheels, sir, but some."
I say I want a refund.
He offers me a voucher.
I decline.
He says he can do no more.
I say, looking him directly in the name badge, "Thank you Mr Ben Philips, I shall now contact Halfords Customer Complaints"
I leave.
He just called. If I drop in tomorrow he will refund me in full and in cash eveilgrin: eveilgrin: eveilgrin: eveilgrin: eveilgrin: eveilgrin:

How did he get your PIN? You can't refund to a card that has been used to pay for something without the card owner entering their PIN. All part of fraud prevention.

They cocked up my car, charged me a fortune and only responded to threats. Is that good service?
