a representative from halfords came into the workshop and issued all the mechanics with the trade cards to get us all parts and tools brought from holfords at trade price, they also give u two receipts with stuf one saying trade price the other sayign full price so u can charge the customer full price. you can only get one if you can prove your a mechanic working for a registered motor vehicle dealer. I used it so much, did a service on someones car the other day, the parts came to £48 but only cost me £30 with my trade card and i gave them the full price recipet so i made £18 just on that plus the £50 labour charge i charged them, result
