Wouldn't bother with batteries, maybe coolant but I believe vx coolant is hard to beat on price....?

It all seems to depend on the manager you get.. their website now states (IIRC) that all you need is a business card showing you work as a mechanic, but my local manager still wants payslips from a garage..

Yeah - you get a good discount on service parts like that.. not so much on tools anymore, it seems :(

'course I went and bought some wipers the other week when out with a friend who has a trade card, got home and realised I'd bought the wrong ones  :-[ ;D Anyone have an Audi and need wiper blades? ;D

I have a trade card here if anyone wants to borrow it who is local to me, I used it on lifter treatment, only got a couple a quid or so off, £7.10 instead of £8.99.

Carb cleaner is good though, down from about 8 quid a can to about 3 ish.

Some things have heavy discount others not so much.
