First mistake was going to Halfords.
Their prices are a complete rip off.
I was stood next to a lady who agreed to have new front brake pads fitted to her Corsa, lifetime replacement of pads at any branch. £130.
To buy them from a motor factor is £18 and any garage will fit them for £40 max.
Your ability to get £130 worth of pads out of them is virtually zero. You will sell or px the car before you get that many sets of pads fitted. It’s cynical marketing that rips off those who don’t know.
This is why their MOT test price is usually “on special offer”
