I wonder how the Halfords name will affect the Nationwide Autocentres offering.

As things stand, Halfords fit bulbs and wipers for c£3 (which women drivers like) but will this service still make sense when they have a garage partner?

I don't think any Nationwide Autocentres offer car collection or comfy waiting areas...but they are making much of booking online, employing female mechanics and Halfords are open on Sundays.

How do you see this development guys? Very little in the trade mags yet. Are they more of an aftersales threat for dealers (because of their name and UK marketing reach) than independents? Will this affect your business?
