Window Cleaning Forum / Re: HALFORDS........issues with tank/van?
« Last post by Simon Trapani on Today at 02:09:38 pm »
Halfords are a bunch of tossers. Took my van starter battery back under it’s 5 year warranty. Said I did too many short journeys  & should be bench charging it every couple of weeks!!! This is my starter battery remember, not the leisure battery running my pumps. I wanted to burn the place down or drive my van straight through their windows I was so annoyed. Only ever go there now if I’m absolutely desperate.

How old was the battery?
4 years into a 5 year warranty. Asked to speak to the manage & he said he was the manager.
Got head office number but just couldn’t be arsed in the end. I needed a battery asap so got one elsewhere the same day.
Put a bad review online that they removed.

Sometimes its unavoidable, but anything i have to get done etc, I try avoid the bigger companies and get a local independent person to do it. Because as soon as a computer says no scenario arises its one less job for them to do that day and that's that.

The local ones will put in more effort as its directly effecting there pocket with not doing it.

You'd probably find the local garage would have drained the water if the weight was to much just to get the job done.

Class 4 MOTs cover vehicles (cars, vans) up to 3000kgs. There is no way Dazmond's van weighs any near that, even with a full tank of water. If their lifts don't lift that weight, then there is no way they should be doing class 4 MOT's period, as they haven't the right equipment.
I'd be inclined to report it.

As long as the vehicle is under it’s legal weight limit it shouldn’t matter should it?

They just look for cheats.

If you aren't cheating you don't need to worry.

They have algorithms largely on expenditure.

If I buy a property or a holiday home and have been declaring 20k a year and claiming benefits they will want to know why.

They will look at the year you bought the property and ask where the income came from.

They will look at your bank accounts.

They aren't worried if you have a receipt for a van MOT twenty years ago. They will just say 'you declared an average of 20k over ten years - how come you have bought XYZ big ticket items in year 7, 12  and 20?'


Again you are very naive if you think that’s how an investigation is carried out , I know several that have had investigations and only one was found at fault , they don’t need to see the original receipt for £ 20 of diesel but if you don’t have your records you can’t show what your expenses were and fight your corner .
Well in that case the investigator should be getting investigated for numerous failed investigations🕵️‍♂️



Fewer than 1% of investigations lead to prosecution according to HMRC  own records
That’s not to say they don’t recoup monies from whoever they are targeting in an investigation though.

According to google 47% of investigations  don’t lead action being taken , those that do it’s usually a small %

Pop the vehicle registration in there...................

https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/sachs-coil-spring-627820800?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=16079346400

The owner of that business blew his hand off messing about with a firework when he was a kid. I know him.

You know Sukhpal Singh Ahluwalia ? You move in interesting circles. If i bump into him should i just say.... Bungle mentioned you ? or does he know you by another name ?

Think you will find he left the company many years ago it’s owned by an American company since 2011

You're good. I looked and thats exactly what i found. He sold it to an American company in 2011. Did you know him too ?

No I don’t know him , but do use euro car parts now and then .

Ah, ok. How come you knew he left the company ? Did you just pop that info here as a conversational point ? I've only ever just popped my registration number into the website for car parts. But you and Bungle seem to have a good track on him and what he's doing. Hows his hand ?
